What to Expect When Eloping in Glacier National Park in June

June marks the beginning of summer in Montana, and with it comes the first wave of Glacier National Park elopements. If you’re planning to exchange vows in this magical landscape during June, you’re in for an unforgettable experience—but it’s important to know what to expect when eloping in Glacier National Park in June. From snow-dusted trails to the first flush of summer flowers at our farm, this post will help you prepare for your June elopement in Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park in June: What You Should Know

June in Glacier is a month of transition. While the days grow longer and warmer, the park is still waking up from winter. This means:

• Snow can still be present, especially at higher elevations.

• Popular high-alpine trails like Hidden Lake and the Highline Trail often remain closed or partially snow-covered.

• Road access: The Going-to-the-Sun Road may not be fully open early in the month, depending on snow removal progress (check the NPS website for updates).

• Lake McDonald, Apgar, and Many Glacier are usually accessible and beautiful, offering iconic views without requiring extensive hiking.

The flip side of the snow? Fewer crowds, moody mountain backdrops, and crisp, clean air. June is perfect for couples who want the beauty of Glacier without the height of summer tourism.

Tips for Eloping in June

• Plan for variable weather. It can go from sunny and 70°F to chilly and rainy quickly. Bring layers (and maybe a cute wrap or jacket for photos).

• Footwear matters. If you’re hiking or even walking trails to your ceremony spot, choose shoes that can handle slush, mud, or uneven ground.

• Scout ceremony locations at lower elevations, where trails are more likely to be open and conditions are more predictable.

What’s in Bloom at Our Flower Farm in June?

We love June here at Two Kay’s Flower Farm—it’s when the fields start to pop after a long winter, and the beauty builds by the day. If you’re ordering a bridal bouquet for your Glacier elopement in June, here’s a peek at what may be blooming:

Available in early to mid-June:

• Peonies (a June highlight—fluffy, fragrant, romantic!)

• Ranunculus – layered and dreamy

• Icelandic poppies – delicate and ethereal

• Foxglove – tall, whimsical spires

• Dianthus – sweetly scented filler

• Columbine, lilac, and spirea – soft and seasonal accents

Later June additions might include:

• Sweet peas

• Yarrow

• Orach – a stunning foliage in shades of pink, green, or bronze

• Snapdragons, bachelor buttons, and other early summer annuals

Every bouquet is custom-designed based on what’s blooming at peak beauty. We walk the fields the day before your elopement to hand-select stems that capture the feeling of your love story and the season.

Flower Pickup & Elopement Tips

We don’t deliver—but we do make pickup as smooth as possible. Couples often pick up their bouquet the afternoon before their elopement. We’ll provide you with tips for keeping your bouquet hydrated if you’re heading into the park or onto a trail.

• Tip: If you’re hiking to your ceremony location, bring a small water vessel (we provide a vase for vehicle transport) or damp paper towels to keep your bouquet fresh. We’re happy to guide you!

• Bonus: June bouquets are more tolerant of cool temps, which helps them stay vibrant all day.

A Final Note on Eloping in June

Eloping in Glacier in June is for the couple who loves a touch of the wild and unpredictable. It’s when snow still kisses the peaks, waterfalls run fast, and wildflowers begin to bloom. If you’re dreaming of a romantic bouquet to match the mood of the mountains, we’d be honored to design it for you.
