Things nobody tells you about eloping 👀🤍
🐾 Your dog can be your groomsman, bridesmaid, ring bearer... whatever you like. Meg (our wedding coordinator) has seen it all, and honestly some of our favourite ceremonies have had four legs stood at the front.
🦙 You can still have "guests" — ours just happen to be alpacas. Feeding them is part of the fun and makes for some of the most relaxed, genuine photos of the whole day.
👗 No one says you have to keep your dress in a box forever. Some of our brides choose something they can actually wear again — an anniversary dinner, a birthday, just because. Your wedding dress doesn't have to retire the day after.
💃 Yes, you can still have a first dance. Just the two of you, in the Summer House or under the stars — no crowd required, all the same magic.
🥂 And you don't have to get ready in separate rooms if you don't want to. Traditions are lovely, but at Millbrook, your day is built entirely around what actually feels right for you two.
Eloping isn't about missing anything out — it's about choosing what actually matters to you. 🤍
