Alaskan Elopement in the Chugach Mountains

Jess and Eric eloped in Alaska in the Chugach Mountains which are minutes from downtown Anchorage.

Jess and Eric eloped in Alaska in early March 2022 in the foothills of the Chugach Mountains.

The Chugach mountains are minutes from downtown Anchorage and offer a wild backdrop for the nature-loving couple.

This Alaskan elopement was especially amazing because of the simplicity of planning - getting to their ceremony location was fairly easy.

Although you do have to be up for a winter adventure on skis or snowshoes, it’s close to Anchorage and inexpensive to get there.

And with the wildness of the photos, you would never know! It seems like they are miles into the wilderness.

Jess’s choice of colors for her flowers contrasted the landscape so perfectly. The bright and bold bouquet looks amazing with her winter white landscape.

Plus, how lucky they were to have this sunshine!

The great thing about bright and bold colors is that they come to life in any weather situation. If it had been a cloudy or even foggy day, they would have popped even more.

Special thanks to the Alaska wedding photographer at Chugach Peaks Photography for these amazing photos.

The Alaska wedding photographers that make up Chugach Peaks have a bright, crisp and clear quality to their work that is exemplified in Jess and Eric’s photos.

Elope in Alaska on the Knik Glacier

A Knik Glacier elopement in Alaska offers a magical experience and stunning backdrop for your wedding photos.

Leanne and Peter eloped in Alaska in late February on the Knik Glacier.

Leanne requested a very large “Ice Queen” bouquet and I was absolutely thrilled at the idea of creating such a piece!

If there’s one thing I LOVE to make, it’s a big and wild bouquet.

 
 

Bouquets transform an experience and no one tells you how fun they are to hold.

Their aroma fills your experience with an additional sensual pleasure that helps to imprint this magical and life-changing event in your mind forever.

If there’s one thing that you don’t want to skimp on, it’s your bridal bouquet.

I was so thankful to work with Alaskan wedding planner, Wild Hearts Events based in Anchorage, AK and Lily of the Wild Photography to help this couple create an amazing, beautiful and memorable event.

When choosing the flowers for this bouquet, I was looking for “icy” tones of blue, blush, white, and frosty green.

I found some amazing white to blush butterfly ranunculus, heavenly smelling white & purple stock, veronica, blue hydrangea, and eucalyptus.

Read what Leanne had to say about working with me:

Greta was amazing when creating my wedding bouquet.

I honestly did not know exactly what I wanted but I gave her my vision and she went above and beyond.

I was so happy with the way they turned out. Not only were they everything I could’ve dreamt of, they were beautiful and smelt amazing.
