There are a few important factors you should prioritize when you're shopping for elopement dresses: fabric, silhouette, and ease of transport. These three things are especially important if you're going to be traveling for your elopement, since you'll need a dress that's relatively easy to pack in a suitcase or carry with you in a garment bag (and more importantly, a dress that won't require hours of steaming once you're ready to put it on). Whether you're planning to elope in a few months and want to get a head-start on shopping, or you've made the last-minute decision to get hitched, your elopement wedding dress should ultimately be a reflection of your personal style. Start by browsing some of our favorite elopement-worthy dresses for all budgets, time-crunches, and styles—and the best part is that you can buy any one of them online right now and have it in just a few days.

Take a peek at these elopement dresses you can buy and try on at home (and transport anywhere!).
