Boho Snowy Winter Elopement // Sapphire point overlook, Co
Dreaming of a boho, snowy Colorado elopement? Look no further… we’ve got all the inspo you need right here. From the lace wedding gown with a Rue De Seine feel to the Overland Sheepskin shearling coats to the winter wonderland landscape of Breckenridge — this romantic elopement was all of that and more. Most dream of a wildflower wedding, others dream of a fall foliage wedding, but few dream of a winter wonderland wedding (mostly because of chilly temps + less accessible locations). Good thing for you, we’ve helped couples curate their unique wedding experience in each of these dreamy settings. Without further-ado, let’s dive into this winter elopement at Sapphire Point Overlook, CO.
Why Choose a Winter Elopement in Colorado?
Winter elopements in Colorado offer something magical that other seasons just can't match – that pristine, untouched beauty of snow-covered peaks and the ultimate cozy, intimate vibe. While summer wildflower weddings are gorgeous (and we shoot tons of those!), there's something incredibly romantic about saying your vows surrounded by a winter wonderland. Plus, winter is actually one of the best times to elope in Colorado from a logistics standpoint – fewer crowds at popular locations, better rates on luxury mountain rentals, and that cozy factor means you can focus on intimate moments with your lover instead of managing a big outdoor celebration. The key is choosing accessible locations like Sapphire Point that deliver those jaw-dropping mountain views without requiring snowshoes or winter hiking gear!
Best winter elopement location in colorado: sapphire point overlook
Welcome to Sapphire Point Overlook, just outside of Breckenridge, Colorado! As experts in Colorado elopements, we can attest that when it comes to winter wedding planning, the primary challenge is finding an easily accessible, jaw-droppingly beautiful location in the mountains. The reason for this? Once winter sets in, most hiking trails and all off-roads are completely snowed in. Unless you’re willing to snowshoe or backcountry ski (we’re up for either, just sayin!) your way to a mountain overlook, Sapphire Point Overlook is the place for your winter wedding.
If this location doesn’t spark your fancy, we’d be happy to suggest my other favorites in the area with tall alpine and mountain views in the distance.

Planning Your Boho Winter Wedding in Colorado
Here's what we love about boho winter elopements – they're all about that effortless, romantic vibe with cozy layers and natural beauty. Think flowing lace dresses paired with gorgeous shearling coats, dried florals and pampas grass that look stunning against snowy backdrops, and intimate ceremonies that feel warm and personal even in chilly temperatures. The boho aesthetic actually works perfectly for winter weddings because it's all about texture, movement, and those organic, natural elements that complement Colorado's winter landscape beautifully. We always recommend keeping outdoor portions short (15-20 minutes max for ceremonies) and having cozy indoor spaces for getting ready and celebrating afterward.
Sapphire Point Winter Wedding Photography: What to Expect
As Colorado winter elopement planners + photographers, we can tell you that Sapphire Point offers some of the most stunning winter wedding photos you'll ever see! The overlook gives you those epic, unobstructed views of the Continental Divide and Lake Dillon, all framed by snow-covered evergreens. What makes winter photography here so special is the way the snow acts as a natural reflector, creating this gorgeous, soft light that's incredibly flattering. Plus, the contrast between flowing wedding dresses and the stark white landscape creates these dreamy, editorial-style images that feel like they belong in a magazine. We love capturing those quiet moments between wind gusts, the way snowflakes catch in the bride's hair, and those intimate vows with nothing but winter wilderness surrounding you.
Winter Wedding Logistics: Making It Work in Colorado
The secret to amazing winter elopements in Colorado? It's all about smart planning and choosing the right locations. Sapphire Point is perfect because it's literally right off the highway – no mountain driving or hiking required, even in winter conditions. The overlook is maintained and accessible year-round, which means you and your guests can show up in your wedding attire without worrying about trudging through snow. We always recommend having a luxury mountain rental as your home base for getting ready and warming up, then heading to your ceremony location for a quick but meaningful outdoor celebration. Most of our winter couples spend about 15-20 minutes outdoors for the ceremony, then head back to cozy indoor spaces for the real celebration!
