Planning an elopement is an exciting adventure that comes with its fair share of details to organize. Beyond the big-ticket items like your dress, venue, photographer, and date, there are practical yet often-overlooked essentials that can take your special day from wonderful to absolutely magical. I’ve rounded up seven must-have Amazon picks you probably haven’t considered to make your planning easier.
These recommendations are purely based on my experience; I’m not affiliated with or earning commissions from these items. They’re here solely to help you have the best day ever!
Heel Protectors
Wearing heels outdoors? These heel protectors are lifesavers. Made from flexible rubber, they stabilize your step on grass, snow, or rocky terrain, preventing you from sinking, slipping, or scuffing your shoes. Bonus: they reduce that loud "clacking" sound! Don’t forget to check out my “Wedding Planner’s Footwear Guide for Your Adventure Elopement” for more recommendations when it comes to choosing the perfect wedding day shoes.
Magnetic Wedding Veil Weights
These are a lifesaver for outdoor weddings!! If you buy anything - let this be it! Windy day? No problem. These small yet powerful weights attach to your veil, dress, or accessories, keeping them under control without damaging delicate fabrics. Perfect for mountain, beach, or boat ceremonies, these pretty weights are both practical and stylish. They come as pearls or diamonds, so they’ll fit right in with your aesthetic.

Wedding Vow Books
Swap the crumpled notepaper or cell phones for something elegant! These adorable vow books are compact, beautifully designed, and photograph wonderfully. They make reciting your vows feel extra special and become a keepsake you’ll treasure for anniversaries to come. Perfect for revisiting on an anniversary as well!
Velvet Ring Box
Elevate your ring presentation with a chic velvet ring box. Not only does it add a touch of luxury to your ceremony, but it’s also perfect for those close-up detail shots. Small so it fits nicely in hand and makes the rings look much more substantial in photos. Choose a double-slot option for both rings, and don’t forget to check sizing before you buy!

I’m still on the lookout for a cordless/wireless steamer, so if you find one that you love PLEASE tell me about it!

Add a touch of adventure to your elopement with a picnic backpack. Whether you’re toasting champagne in the forest or enjoying snacks on a mountaintop, this all-in-one set includes padded straps, a thermal compartment, a wine holster, and even a blanket.
