Just the two of you, a trail at sunrise, and a view that makes you forget to breathe. The last thing you want is a bouquet that wilts before the vows.
Here's how to pick flowers that keep up with an elopement, and actually look amazing in those epic mountain photos.

Why faux works so well for elopements
- Light enough to hike with. No water, no vase, nothing dripping in your pack.
- Made for Colorado weather. Sun, wind and altitude won't wilt a single petal.
- Yours to keep. Buy your bouquet and it looks the same on your tenth anniversary.
"Everything on our wedding day turned out so incredibly amazing, beyond our wildest dreams. The best part is I now get to keep my wedding bouquet for years and years to come without them ever wilting." – Alex
What you actually need
Keep it simple: a bouquet and a matching boutonniere. Want a corsage for someone special? Just ask and we'll add one on. Our elopement bouquets run a little bigger than our standard bridal bouquet, so they hold their own against a mountain view.
Match your flowers to your backdrop
Your setting is half the design, so pick colors that pop against it:
- Golden aspens in fall? Autumn in Aspen brings rust roses, gold peonies and burgundy ranunculus.
- A summer wildflower meadow? Summer in Steamboat is pastel, columbines included.
- Red rocks or a city courthouse? Vibrant in Vail or Dreaming in Denver bring the color and texture.
- Want it soft and timeless? Timeless in Telluride keeps to neutrals that never upstage the dress.

How it works
- Pick your design. Tell us which one stole your heart.
- Pick it up. Grab your flowers at our Studio a few days before.
- Say "I do." Then bring them back after your adventure, or buy your bouquet to keep forever.
