Your elopement day isn’t just a long photoshoot but a celebration of the journey that brought you to this point. This is just the beginning of your greatest adventure yet and how you choose to celebrate matters!
At the end of the day, your elopement day is yours. You get to pick and choose how YOU want to get married. Regardless of cost, your elopement day represents you and what you love. It’s a day that you will look back on for the rest of your lives. As you begin to plan all the details of your day, keep in mind what’s important. Your happiness, and being true to who you are. The value of your day, much like your love, lies in the moments that mean the most to you.
I hope this blog has been helpful and has given you a better idea about how much an elopement costs. Remember to invest in the experience. From the beginning planning stages to your big day, the intention behind your journey will be your greatest investment.

WOW! Such an in depth guide on elopement costs – love how you included an elopement cost calculator. So helpful for couples looking to plan their own elopement!
This an amazing break down of what to expect to pay for an elopement! That calculator is sooo helpful! great article!!
So much useful and practical information, thank you for sharing! And I just have to say, the photos accompanying the text are incredibly beautiful. Elopements FTW!
okay I need to point out that second photo with the teary eye! so beautiful!!! and this whole blog is incredibly helpful. thanks so much!
Wow, the sliding scale and “quiz” are SO helpful in determining how much each person should spend getting married. Love the tearful photo most of all.
I’m based in Australia and the average wedding here is approx $68,000, which is just mind boggling! Most of my elopements ring in around $12-15,000 with video and helicopter and airfares…honestly, it is the way to go! Also, the photos on this page are everything, not sure what the location is, but the one at sunset on the edge of the cliff (maybe Yosemite?) is breathtaking!
I am all about making your day as smooth and fun as possible! Helping couples plan their dream wedding day brings me so much joy and it’s surreal that I’m able to capture it at all. Planning a wedding is overwhelming— big or small! Not all of us are natural born planners (if you are, you do you!!). This is where I come in and bring all of my knowledge and resources to the table so all you need to do is envision your dream day!

Book your Dream Elopement DAy!
I have been very pleased with my purchases of the 4 sets of nails in a box. Each style was beautiful and created just for me. I loved my first set so much that I ordered a second set and referred my friends to make purchases during this pandemic.
Do you spend your nights tossing and turning on a hard, lumpy bed? Have you ever sunk into a mattress and wondered how you’d ever get out? Or have you just been stuck at a showroom, not sure which pricey option to take? Mattress shopping can be a stressful, time-consuming, and all-around overwhelming experience. And the worst part? 
Luckily, Comparakeet has rounded up the best mattresses available today. We’ve combed through the numerous options out there, checking each one for construction and durability, support and feel, and value for money. Whether you’re looking for a firm, sturdy mattress or the foam equivalent of a cloud, we’ve got you covered. Our top picks will deliver comfort and convenience at reasonable prices. Check them out below!
Most mattresses consist of some type of foam, though many now blend materials or use multiple layers for better results. Whether it uses memory foam, high-performance latex, or a different material entirely, you'll want a mattress that doesn't compromise on quality. Make sure you're getting the best and most durable materials with your mattress (another great resource to check out is Good Night's Rest), so you can be sure your purchase will last you more than a couple of years. If you've got sensitive skin or allergies, check for hypoallergenic components -- and in all cases, it's never a bad thing to get a mattress that's been checked and certified as free of toxic or harmful elements.
Top-quality components don't mean a thing if your mattress leaves you with an aching back. These are more subjective criteria, as each person looks for a different kind of feel from their mattress. At minimum, you'll probably want a mattress that allows for good circulation and efficient cooling, so that your bed never feels stuffy or overly warm. Firmness and softness depend on your preferences, but for best results, always look for a mattress that strikes a good balance between molding to your body shape and offering enough resistance to prop you up as you lie down. Ultimately, you're looking for a mix of breathability, firmness, and plushness that spells maximum comfort for you in the long-term.
 That's why it's important to look for a manufacturer that will offer support and assistance every step of the way, at least when it comes to issues caused by product defects or wear. Most mattress companies offer warranties of around 10 years on average, though the accompanying services differ. Some promise free replacement and repairs, while others are a bit cagier when it comes to their support services. Make sure to check the warranty details of each mattress on your list, just so you know what kind of after-sales services you can expect.
When we called mattresses a big purchase, we didn't just mean their size. Mattresses can cost you more than a thousand dollars a pop, and that's not money you can shed lightly. There's some merit to the claim that you get what you pay for, but that doesn't mean that you need to bleed your wallet dry just to get a good night's rest. It’s perfectly possible to find a fantastic mattress for less than four figures! For our top picks, we've tried to find high-quality options that strike a good balance between premium features and affordable prices. Now it's up to you to figure out what qualities you need from your ideal mattress, and how much you're willing to pay for the options that come closest.
Hello. Does anyone have a preference- Sleep EZ or PlushBeds Organic latex?
No love for Purple mattresses? Admittedly I haven’t actually tried them myself, but their advertisements seem pretty convincing! Hahah.
WPLift / WordPress Themes / Reviews / Total Theme Review: The Best WordPress Multi-Purpose Theme?
Today we are looking at the Total Theme, created by AJ Clark from WPExplorer this is his flag-ship multi-purpose WordPress theme which boasts over 11k sales on ThemeForest and a star rating of 4.82 out of 5. AJ has been around in the WordPress community for years now and is famous for releasing some great quality free themes on WPExplorer and also a number of premium themes on ThemeForest, AuthenticThemes and CreativeMarket, his work rate is very impressive – you can read more about him on this interview I did with him on WPLift.
The Total Theme was first released in December 2013 and has undergone continuous development since then with new layouts and features being added all the time.
As with most themes of this type, the feature list is very extensive, allowing you to create many different types of websites using the theme. What I like about Total when compared to other themes is it aims to be non-bloated, allowing you to to disable features that you won’t be using – this is one of my biggest problems with large multi-purpose themes so happily Total aims to avoid this.

Sample Data – Sample data is provided for each different theme demo, simply download and use the importer plugin to configure your site.

Theme Customizer – Total makes good use of the Customizer so you can see your changes live before applying to your site.

Full or Boxed Layout – Pick a layout option from the Customizer.

You can view the full list of features here.
Before we take a look at how the admin side of things function in this theme, I thought I would show you a few of the demos which you are able to create out of the box by uploading one of the sample data files. This is done using the native WordPress importer plugin located here.
After you upload and activate the theme, you
