Autumn elopement for two at a scenic lake in Bern
We cannot say enough good things about Peach Perfect and Vanessza (our wedding planner). From the very start she made us feel at ease. Anytime we had a question or concern she communicated with us right away. If there were any last minute issues she took care of them immediately and always had a plan. The team she put together for our ceremony was unreal! Everyone was so nice, attentive and truly did everything to make our day special. I would highly recommend Peach Perfect for weddings and elopement ceremonies.
Story
From the hotel where they got ready to the venue where they tied the knot, Victoria and Brett’s big day was surrounded with unspoiled nature in Switzerland. Their wedding date was late autumn and you can see the captivating colors of autumn from the scenic alpine forest where they had the ceremony.
Planning their destination wedding in Switzerland
Victoria and Brett wanted a simple elopement for two in a nature-packed location in Switzerland. Their chosen venue was an alpine lake surrounded by the Swiss mountains and vibrant forests, and it couldn’t be more perfect for the adventure wedding that they envisioned. Getting there required some hiking, but the couple was prepared for it and all of the adventure and breathtaking scenes waiting for them in Switzerland.
About the wedding venue
This scenic lake for adventure elopements in Switzerland is a breathtaking nature spot located at the heart of Bernese Oberland. It offers an exciting experience even before you reach the shores of the lake.
Couples need to ride a gondola to reach the location, and the gondola ride offers a unique experience of witnessing the astounding nature surrounding the lake. A short hike along the vibrant woods follows the thrilling gondola ride until the couple reaches the perfect spot for their wedding ceremony.
Whatever time of the year you choose to get married, the lake offers a refreshing ambiance with thick alpine forests and panoramic mountain views. The Swiss lake is clear and glittering all year round, making it a perfect spot for nature weddings any time of the year.
The romantic wedding day that was
It was mid-autumn when Victoria and Brett tied the knot, and the ceremony happened in the afternoon when the sun was not too strong and the cold weather was still tolerable.
Before traveling to the lakeside elopement venue, the couple got ready at a hotel amidst a peaceful Swiss mountain village. It was a perfect place to prepare for their adventure elopement because the hotel offers a quiet atmosphere and vibrant nature views.
After getting ready, Victoria and Brett had their first look in an open space overlooking the mountains and the scenic Swiss village dotted with rustic cottages. Excitement filled the air and the couple could not hide their emotions upon seeing each other in their gorgeous wedding attire.
They rode a gondola to the ceremony spot along the lake, and hiked on a beautiful trail amidst the alpine forest. The place is truly enchanting, and the clouds that hovered above them added more magic to their special day.
The hike gave Victoria and Brett a chance to relax and unwind before the ceremony. With them were their wedding planner, the celebrant, and the solo musician who played the romantic songs requested by the couple for the ceremony.
The couple couldn’t help but laugh and cry as they exchanged vows, hearing the genuine appreciation and promises made to each other. They talked about who they were before they met and how they changed each other for the better, and reminisced about the moments that made them realize that this relationship is going to last forever.
After the vows and the memorable kiss, the couple brought out a bottle of wine and toasted for the success of their adventure wedding in Switzerland.
