In the world of creative thinking and out-of-the-box ideas, elopements, and weddings, have truly evolved. Although the foundation of love, faithfulness, and commitment remains, the traditional style of reception and ceremony has in many cases changed. The growing trend is towards a more intimate and personal celebration in destination locations. Couples and their guests travel to somewhere unique with an adventurous edge and a stunning landscape. Many bridal couples celebrate with their loved ones in special ways when they return from their destination elopement.

An Airbnb intimate elopement in one of the many interesting parts of the world can be so exciting. Marriages take place in every village, town, and city, so you will never be short of wedding vendors, Airbnbs, cafes/restaurants, and ceremony/reception spaces. Whether you’re planning on being in a quaint secluded environment with natural surroundings and minimalist fuss or a gorgeous well-equipped Airbnb with just the two of you and a witness for the ceremony [hand up from me for the photographer]. With some intentional research, you will find your dream overseas elopement Airbnb venue. To help you with your search I am blogging outstanding Airbnbs from all over the world for the perfect destination elopement. This week is part 2 (click here for part 1) on the best places to consider for your Airbnb Elopement in Europe. Enjoy viewing them! I am so excited about your dream elopement!

The Island Lodge at little Horseshoe Lake – England, UK

This gorgeous A-frame, luxurious lodge has everything you could ever hope for in a dream overseas destination elopement venue. Perfectly positioned on a private, picturesque 55-acre property that overlooks the beautiful little Horseshoe Lake.

The Island Lodge in England runs adjacent to Cotswold’s water park in South Cerney, Gloucestershire. Although it is a one-bedroom lodge it feels so much bigger! Spacious living areas with an open-plan bathroom, a super king-size bedroom, and floor-to-ceiling windows are smartly designed to give the illusion that it is a lot bigger than it actually is.

Experience the outdoors from the inside, as you don’t have to leave the lodge to see the spectacular lake and woodlands. There is plenty of creature comforts to feel right at home during your elopement stay and you can even throw another log on the wood burner to snuggle up together.

The Island Lodge is luxurious modern magnificence, and I would elope here in a heartbeat. The beauty of this place is that there are four other lodges nestled in different locations around the lake so you could bring your nearest and dearest with you to share your elopement experience.
