If you're a regular reader of the blog, you know that I (Rebecca) have some serious wedding regret. I can't believe that August 2023 makes five years already! I'm thrilled to announce that I am getting (re)married this August in Colorado's mountains and flower fields! I am even more thrilled to have The Daydreamer Diaries as my photographer and videographer. Hiring her was easy, and I can't wait to be her client.

We’ve talked a lot about how the spectrum of what you’re elopement is unbelievably broad! There is something absolutely kick-ass about a cute little urban elopement in a downtown area. Dayton has a special downtown district known as the Oregon District. Between the trendy parking garages (think of the top level overlooking the city), the best bars, beautiful color-popping murals, and unique small businesses, you can have the coolest little celebration with photos that won’t look like your average wedding day.

You're engaged, and you've decided to elope! Somehow, that decision is a duality of complete freedom and overwhelming chaos!

You can plan a party as big, small, intimate, or inviting as you want. It is entirely up to what type of experience you want. Taking elements from both types of weddings is okay to create a party that fits your unique vision. In this space, we invite you to break all the rules that don’t apply to you.
