How to elope in Oklahoma | Your guide to eloping in Oklahoma

So, you’ve decided to throw tradition out the window, escape the chaos of a big wedding, and opt for an elopement in the heart of the Sooner State – Oklahoma. Good choice! But, before you embark on this adventure, let’s break down the steps to ensure your elopement is nothing short of epic.

Step 1: Select Your Date and Location

First things first – when and where are you tying the knot? Oklahoma offers a variety of stunning landscapes, from rolling hills to charming urban backdrops. Whether you’re into rustic barns or urban graffiti walls, choose a location that resonates with your unique love story. Check out this ‘Where to Elope in Oklahoma’ guide for some adventurous ideas.

Step 2: Get Your Dress and Details

Who says you can’t wear a stunning gown just because you’re eloping? Pick an outfit that makes you feel incredible, and don’t forget the details – accessories, a killer pair of shoes, and perhaps a little something old, new, borrowed, and blue. If you want to keep it fun, I highly recommend checking out the shorties collection from Bella Bridesmaids OKC!

Step 3: Plan Your Elopement Day Activities

Sure, you’re eloping, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a blast! Plan activities that speak to your relationship – a scenic hike, a cozy picnic, or maybe a tandem bike ride. It’s your day, so make it uniquely yours. Make the entire day an experience! Do you like to cook or bake togehter? Consider taking a trip to the grocery store and getting everything to make your favorite meal and wedding cake together. Are you like people? Have a sunrise elopement and spend the entire day on the water alone or with your friends and family. There are so many options to make it an elopement DAY and not just an hour or two of the day.

Step 4: Book Your Necessary Vendors

Now, let’s talk about the good stuff – the details that make your day a true experience! The finishing touches, the icing on the cake, if you will. Booking some vendors for your elopement might seem like more than you want to do, but trust me when I tell you, it’s worth it! If you want a cake for your day, I highly recommend Brown Egg Bakery! Elevate everything with a professional bouquet, and no one does it better than Joyous Blooms. Want a cute little picnic or a complety styled small ceremony set up? Lo + Co. Events is the best and will help you put your vision together!
