Why You Should Absolutely Bring Champagne to Your Elopement

You’ve just said your vows. The light is golden. The moment is quiet and electric. And there’s one thing that makes it even better: the pop of a champagne bottle.

Here’s why you should absolutely bring champagne to your elopement:

1. It marks the moment

Eloping doesn’t mean skipping out on celebration. In fact, it makes the small rituals even more meaningful. Popping champagne right after your vows is a tangible, joyful way to mark the start of your marriage—and it feels so good.

2. It makes for incredible photos

Champagne adds movement, emotion, and fun to your gallery. Whether you're laughing in a spray of bubbles or clinking glasses with the ocean behind you, it brings energy and variety to your final images.

3. It gives you a moment to breathe

After the “I dos,” a quiet toast can be grounding. No rush, no one watching. Just the two of you, soaking it in. You deserve that pause.

4. It travels well

One chilled bottle and two glasses (even plastic ones!) are all you need. It’s simple to pack, easy to carry, and doesn’t require a planner or setup team to enjoy.

5. It feels like a reward

You planned this day intentionally—intimate, emotional, yours. Celebrating with champagne doesn’t just look good. It feels like a reward for choosing a day that’s true to you.

Eloping strips away the noise. But that doesn’t mean skipping the magic. So yes—bring the dress, the vows, and definitely the champagne.
