This beautiful mountainside elopement is truly romantic elegance at its finest. With a stunning grounded floral arch for the ceremony, and gorgeous views of Tunnel Mountain as a backdrop, Carmen and Mike’s mountainside elopement checks all our favourite boxes for mountain weddings.
Moments by Madeleine helped Carmen and Mike navigate their changing plans, and designed an intimate elopement filled with an array of romantic details, including our favourite feature (can you tell?!), a stunning floral installation from Flowers by Janie, created with an array of blush florals and delicate greenery. With views of Tunnel Mountain and Lake Minnewanka, Kristyn Harder‘s images reveal a few intimate moments and delicate details of a day we can safely title #elopementgoals.
From the Bride:
We felt blessed to have been able to still tie the knot on our original date but we are both very much looking forward to having all of our family and friends gather together in 2022. Carmen

This beautiful grounded floral arch from Flowers by Janie proves two things:
1. You don’t always need a traditional ceremony arch
2. You can create a stunning ceremony setup without detracting from the mountain view
