Wedding Dress to Elope too much?

Shelbey, on September 25, 2018 at 2:28 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

My fiance and I are in the early stages of wedding planning. We are starting to lean more towards eloping. I went dress shopping last week and found this beautiful dress of my dreams and it was well under budget! The only problem with the dress is that it is very large and looks more like a ceremony dress vs. just him and I eloping.


If we do elope, we plan on taking a mini vacation somewhere in the states along the North coast. Would it be too much if I wanted to wear this dress to elope? I still want the pretty photos and everything like that! It already has a built in bustle and needs zero alterations.

    I would wear whatever you want to elope! I personally love elopement pictures where the bride & groom are still totally dressed up and done up and have boutineers and bouquets. It's still a big moment!

    My fiance and I were planning to elope, until we realized that's not what we really wanted, and I was planning on wearing a dress that looked too much for an elopement, I didn't care, it was still going to be my day! So if that's what you you want, go for it!

    Hi Shelbey! Congrats on finding your dress! Smiley heart That's great that there's no alterations needed and you found a dress you love! Do you have a sneak peek picture or a link to the style online you'd be open to sharing with us? We'd love to see! Smiley smile

    You can wear whatever you want! Go for it! It's you and your fiancé's big day, and there's no rules at all. You can definitely still have all of the pretty pictures, the dress of your dreams, and elope! Smiley heart

    I agree completely that you should wear the dress of your dreams!! Big or small, it’s still your wedding day and I’m sure you’ll be happy that you wore the dress you wanted...especially when you’re looking at photos later Smiley smile
