What is an Elopement Wedding Dress?

Glad you asked! Elopement wedding dresses are usually more casual and carefree, a reflection of the intimate, simple celebration that is an elopement. These styles are perfect for brides who don’t sweat the small stuff. They just want to keep the focus of their wedding day on the love they share with their partner. They typically give effortless vibes and come in flattering, easy-to-wear silhouettes. If you’re planning on eloping, these dresses are perfect for your typical elopement vibe.

That being said, an elopement is often just as glamorous as a traditional wedding… Maybe you envision an intimate celebration with just you and your partner, but you still want to shine in a shimmering swishing bridal gown. We’ve seen lots of these celebrations recently, and we have just as many options for you too! Whatever vibe you’re going for, you can find it among our selection of elopement wedding dresses.
