An elopement at Blausee, Switzerland: a 10-year vow renewal

An Intimate Celebration in the Heart of the Swiss Alps

There’s something incredibly meaningful about choosing to renew your vows — to pause, reflect, and recommit to your journey together. And when that moment happens surrounded by nature’s untouched beauty, it becomes unforgettable.

Adam and Cat traveled all the way from Australia to Switzerland to celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary with a deeply emotional vow renewal elopement at Blausee, one of the most enchanting alpine lakes in the region. Surrounded by their two children and the turquoise stillness of the lake, their day was nothing short of magical.

Why Blausee is Perfect for an Intimate Vow Renewal

Tucked away in the Bernese Oberland, Blausee is a small, crystal-clear alpine lake framed by dense forest and towering peaks. It’s a peaceful and secluded location that feels almost sacred — ideal for couples seeking a private and soulful elopement experience in the Swiss Alps.

Adam and Cat chose this location for exactly that reason. After a decade of marriage, two children, and many shared adventures, they wanted a place that reflected their bond: serene, timeless, and grounded in nature.

A Family-Centered Elopement Ceremony at Blausee

The couple exchanged heartfelt vows once more, with officiant Marylin Rebelo guiding the ceremony with warmth and grace. Their two children stood beside them, smiling — not just witnesses, but a living part of the love story being celebrated.

The atmosphere was deeply emotional and full of gratitude — a reminder that elopements aren’t just about escaping the traditional, but about reconnecting to what matters most.

Set against the still, blue waters and the quiet whisper of trees, their words carried beautifully in the alpine air. There was no grand stage, no audience — just sincerity, love, and nature as the witness.

The beauty of a vow renewal elopement in Switzerland is that it allows you to slow down. There’s no rush. No pressure. Just you, your story, and the landscapes that cradle it.
