Thanks for visiting the EA Boutique!
The EA Boutique consists of carefully-curated, non-sponsored products that I’ve personally owned or used on our overseas travels. I’ve included all my favorite elopement essentials from wedding accessories to travel gear. As a planner and picky person, I do a lot of research before making my purchases and I share the fruits of that labor here. Hopefully this space helps save you any headaches when you’re ready to pack for your elopement trip. While every product recommended here is something I endorse from my own personal experience (not paid placements) some items contain affiliate links. This means I earn a small percentage of the sale if you complete a purchase through the link. There is absolutely no extra cost to you but it helps cover the cost of this blog. Happy browsing!
