I know there are more of us eloping and normal wedding things just don't apply. Does anyone else want to join me in this thread so we can discuss all things elopement related?

i dyed my elopement dress this morning!
Shannon in Wedding Attire, on June 9, 2022 at 4:42 PM

I bought this for $9.99 at a thrift store. I loved the fit but hated the color. Fiance and I dyed it this morning. This will work! From boring off white to pretty dark green!

Shannon in Wedding Attire, on October 4, 2021 at 1:25 PM

I am not a huge fan of diamonds for a few reasons. I'm also a pretty non-traditional person when it comes to my preferences. I love to see non-traditional wedding and engagement rings. Chris has not...

We are planning to get married October 22nd of next year. We are not doing anything extremely formal and I am pretty sure that I want either a burgundy, Hunter green, or black dress. We plan to have...
