Originally from the UK, Bella + Jake wanted to plan an adventurous elopement that started with their vows and continued on to an epic trip throughout Canada. So, how did they make that happen? B+J planned a weekday in September, to avoid a majority of the crowds, and set off to meet their photographer, Terry Photo Co.
A day full of simplicity, love, the gorgeous turquoise waters of Moraine Lake + Lake Louise…and one of our Lovers Society x Green Wedding Shoes gowns! Let’s head out to one of Canada’s most incredible national parks!
The First Look
We’re not crying…you’re crying!! We can’t help it—these two are the absolute SWEETEST!
I spy with my little eye our Lovers Society x Green Wedding Shoes Carter Gown!!
The Vows
When you’ve got the amazing turquoise waters behind you, you don’t need much more color than that. So these two opted for a bouquet brimming with greenery and a dusting of white florals from Mountain Top Flowers.
Seriously, how gorgeous is this textured bouquet?
Curious as to what it takes to elope in a national park? We’re answering all your questions here!
The Sweethearts
Bella shares: Finding my gown was like finding gold! I was lucky enough to have a retailer in the South of the UK. Lovers Society gowns are simply perfect for the contemporary bohemian bride. The Carter gown has small leafy details in the lace perfect for a relaxed, wild elopement.
Doesn’t Jake look so dapper in his Hackett London ensemble?
That veil is so EPIC.
We can’t help staring at our Carter Gown—from all those lacy leafy details and that off-the-shoulder look with illusion lace. Too good!!

Making our elopement the start of our Canadian adventure meant we could enjoy our honeymoon for 3 weeks as a married couple whilst sight-seeing, kayaking to Spirit Island, exploring the Banff and Jasper National parks.
What a day!! Congratulations, Bella + Jake!
