By spending it in one of America’s stunning national parks! Let the natural beauty that surrounds you enhance the beauty of your special day as you celebrate your love together! Our team at Acanela is constantly inspired by the freeness of the outdoors, we know that life, like your love, deserves to be celebrated!

Before taking on this adventure, we’ve prepared a packing list, so you can rock your day in style and (relatively) stress free! 

Preparations!

The first portion of your dreamy outdoor wedding begins before the special day, the preparations are a crucial part to any matrimony! When it comes to your national park wedding we suggest taking a look on the national park website to decide which park is the best fit for you! All parks require that prospective wedding parties take out a permit, but restrictions can vary by park. Plan your guest list accordingly as some parks allow only a specific number of wedding guests. As for the rest of your planning? Already covered! Spectacular mountain views and a sky full of stars win over any other venue and twinkle lights any day! No need to worry about ice breakers or extra entertainment as guests will be more than thrilled discussing the main event, the beauty of the park, and, of course,  you! 

Say Cheese!

Pack your camera! After all, what is a wedding if not well documented? The national parks lend themselves to some of the most gorgeous photo opportunities. Before tying the knot, dawn your wedding attire for beautiful additions to the wedding photo album, or take a unique “first look” photograph! Stand tall in front of the looming Redwoods in California, frolic in the wildflowers with a special red rock backdrop in Zion Utah, or embrace as one of Yellowstone’s geysers erupts behind you! These photos are sure to be unique and reflect the love that you and your partner have for one another. Turn away from the camera and capture the fun of the wildlife! Or snap the eye-catching views of a starry sky lit up by the Northern Lights!   However or wherever you choose to snap your wedding pictures, if they include our well loved national parks, they are sure to blow you away. 

Honeymoon!

The wedding couple should be sure to save some room in their luggage for their wedding adventure trip to a national park! Next to your dancing shoes, pack some hiking boots! The national parks have so much to explore including breathtaking hikes! Kick off your honeymoon side by side on a famous trailhead.  Whimsical hikes through Glacier National Park, like around Lake McDonald are the perfect setting to reflect on the moment you said “I do” and consider your love for one another. The more adventurous couple should check out the option to go skydiving in Moab national park! What screams true love like jumping out of a plane together? The best part is that this honeymoon won’t break the bank, with your national parks pass in hand you can enter all of the parks year-round, they all have so many activities to explore you will not regret your trip! 

Unpack!

Unpack your suitcase at a home away from home, the perfect honeymoon suite with Wandercamp glamping sites! Our luxurious tents have king size beds with cozy bedding, all the necessities for your stay, and of course, the most perfect views. We live for untouched wilderness, gorgeous landscapes, and stunning sunrises. Thus Wander Camp was born, a glamping mobile tent property with no boundaries.

Our setup is so perfect you may never want to leave your tent as you and your sweetheart watch the world pass by from outside.
