3. Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah
This ethereal elopement destination is a sci-fi dreamscape. The salt terrain is a remnant of the Ice Age era and unlike anywhere else. The contrast of the white salt, blue sky, and distant mountains create a breathtaking backdrop. The flats are so peaceful, making them a perfect elopement destination for couples wanting an intimate ceremony. The sunrise and sunset create the dreamiest pastel glow. I love the flats because with the plain white background any florals or decor really stand out so the possibilities are endless and you can really make it your own. Very main character energy.
The location is the definition of off the beaten path, and never too crowded with tourists. The drive is well worth it, although there aren’t too many places to stay nearby so opt for booking an airbnb in Salt Lake City. There is one airbnb nearby called “Above the Flats” which is a 5 bedroom luxury modern home that would easily provide enough space for an intimate elopement.
