Planning Your Slovenia Elopement
Eloping might sound spontaneous, but the best experiences are still crafted with care. Here’s what to consider:
1. Legal vs Symbolic Ceremony
Slovenia allows foreigners to marry legally, but some couples prefer a symbolic ceremony for more location freedom.
2. Best Time of Year
- Spring (April–June): Wildflowers and fewer tourists.
- Summer (July–August): Warm weather and lake swims.
- Autumn (September–October): Golden forests and fewer tourists/less crowded in general.
- Winter (November–March): Snowy magic and cozy mountain lodges.
The truth is… You cannot predict the weather in Slovenia. We have rainy and stormy days all year long, as well as warm and sunny ones.
If you are planing an elopement and are not flexible with dates, ensure you have a back up plan for different weather scenarios. (rain in June, storms mountains in the afternoons, snow-less winter in January, snow in May or June in mountains,… Like, really! )
3. Hire a Local Elopement Team
Working with a local elopement photographer and planner (like us at Earth & Air) ensures your day flows smoothly—no matter the weather, location, or timeline.

Myself and my partner decided very last minute to elope in Lake Bled, Slovenia. We came across Anja and Blaz’s page and decided to get in touch. Anja replied very quickly and was extremely helpful and supportive of our plans. We decided on a date and a few days later had a video call to discuss everything.
To be honest, Anja was a photographer and a wedding planner in one! She arranged a hair stylist for me and my flowers. She even picked up my bouquet from the florist and brought it to me on the day. She also went out of her way to arrange a helicopter ride for us (which we unfortunately couldn’t do due to low visibility on the day). Due to this inconvenience, she offered to take us to other locations in Slovenia as she wanted our day to be perfect. She really did not have to do this!
On the day, Anja met us with instant warmth and enthusiasm. She made the whole afternoon very relaxed and we did not once feel rushed. She truly did make our day very special and we loved the photos. I would give a 10 star review if I could!
