What to pack for an elopement abroad

a very practical list.

Steamers, safety pins and comfortable shoes — a short, honest packing list for couples marrying far from home.

Elopements abroad are wonderfully simple, as long as a few small things make it into the suitcase. Here is what I wish every couple packed.

The essentials

A travel steamer, safety pins, blister plasters, a warm layer for after sunset, and shoes you can actually walk a mile in. Pack the rings in your hand luggage, always.
