Dreamy Yosemite Valley Elopement + Romantic Picnic

There’s just no hunk ‘o rock more romantic than a Yosemite bluff.

Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean you have to scrimp on details! The groom’s boutonniere is wonderfully rustic and full of texture and color.

We love the bride’s lace-edged off-the-shoulder gown: it’s got the perfect picnic-but-make-it-wedding vibe.

This whimsical bride never has to be without flowers thanks to her floral hairpiece, which beautifully echoes her sweetie’s bout.

The couple’s romantic Merced River-front picnic beautifully blends modern, edgy elements, like black and cognac cushions, with soft romance, thanks to blush and ivory table settings.

The floral centerpieces evoke the best of nature's autumn bounty, with
cappuccino roses, stems of bleached everlasting flower, and sprigs of dried grasses.

The chic dinnerware set evokes boho romance, with modern copper napkin holders, organic color-block vases for the centerpieces, and delicate gold-rimmed plates and chargers.

Never underestimate the power of texture.

The bride's bouquet blends dried and fresh flowers and greenery, all tied with a raw-edged ribbon, creating an elegant look that never feels fussy.

Her engagement ring may be the star of the show, but this bride knows that too much is never enough when it comes to beautiful bling.

The pair pause for a quick canoodle by the river (peep the bride's chic booties!).

This dreamy Yosemite backdrop simply can't be matched... and it's all theirs! As if we need another reason to opt for a destination elopement.

Three cheers for being married to your bestie!

The bride's booties were a better choice than stilettos for rock-scrambling (but her sweet beau gives her a hand anyhow).

Rose quartz, starburst earrings, a delicate gold chain... we are obsessed with this bride's style!

Rather than a wedding invitation, these two opted for gorgeous, handmade paper missives hand-drawn with a "We Eloped!" message for their loved ones.
