Thinking About Set-Ups For Elopements

We are gearing up for Range of Light.  The one thing I am absolutely sure about is that the Sierra Nevadas hold no secrets for us.  We know the mountains can change at any moment.  Range of Light elopements – celebrations as unpredictable as the mountains themselves.

We have to be prepared for at every single event.  Through Sweet Lilacs, we've set up in countless open spaces, off the grid and on, and understand the unique restrictions and enhancements.  We understand their quirks and potential.  But our deepest knowledge lies in the landscape itself. We know how flowers and setups will thrive in our climate, ensuring your vision flourishes amidst our picturesque and rugged surroundings. 

Challenges Met with Grace:

  • We’ve selected items that are weighted and durable.  There are very few items that are delicate out here.  The gusts of wind may kick up so 30 miles per hour just a few moment.

  • The ground is uneven.  We are out in nature and no one is paving the ground out here.  Just know we are walking on rocks, dirts and brush.

  • We do our best dealing with limited water, buzzing mosquitos and even dirt.  

  • We have a leave no trace policy.  Not only do we set-up.  We need to clean up, haul away and dispose of everything responsibly.  No easy feat here.

This, truly, is the greatest advantage of living and working where we do.  It is more than just set-ups for us.  It’s about unforgettable moments in the Sierra Nevadas mountains.
