Finding Your Venue

The venue is what can help you start to create the look you want.

Once the ring slid on Brittany’s finger, her mind began to race. Throughout the jumble of ideas in her head, she decided she on an industrial look. Brittany went to school in Chicago and fell in love with the city. “I wanted a warehouse look to our venue — brick walls, metal, big windows,” Brittany told us. With this specific look in mind, she came across the perfect spot with that same urban contemporary feel — Bash. It fit everything she wanted.

Finding the venue was the hardest part, but once they discovered Bash, it was smooth sailing from there.

Tips For Eloping

• Have an intimate ceremony that's just the two of you, but when you return, throw an epic party with your friends and family.

• Hire a professional photographer to come with you or hire someone locally, then announce your wedding with a picture from your elopement.

• Elope now, but make plans to have a special ten-year anniversary party.

• Consider carefully where you want to marry and look into the marriage license laws. Many places don't

• allow you to apply for a license and marry on the same day.
