Elopement Dress

Amanda, on August 28, 2019 at 10:50 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7

So my fiance and I decided to elope for many reasons. We have it mostly planned out but I am having trouble with the dress. A little back story about me is I'm a 30 year old plus size girl. My fiance and I have our lives in order with the house and kids already. We dont want the big wedding or anything like that which is part of why we are eloping. Normally you wear a white dress on your wedding day but I have found some really nice dresses (not wedding dresses though) that aren't white. We are having a beach wedding so I don't know if wearing a floral or soft pink dress would look strange on the beach. Any help would be appreciated.

    It’s your day so do whatever you want. I think either of those would look beautiful.

    Do you feel beautiful and confident in the floral or pink dress? If yes, then it's a perfect wedding dress. If no, then find something that makes you feel beautiful and confident. It's not about the dress and the venue (beach) - it's about the bride and groom (bride and bride, groom and groom) feeling like their best selves and making promises to one another.

    I agree with PPs, you should wear whatever you want! The white dress isn't for everyone, and that's totally fine. It isn't a tradition in my culture to wear a white dress, so I had actually considered just finding a pretty dress to wear when I was looking. Your wedding, your rules! If you feel more comfy in something else, then who cares? Also white wedding dresses are stupid expensive, and you only wear it once. Such a waste of $$ that could be spent elsewhere.

    I think your idea would be gorgeous. I googled pink beach wedding dresses to get a visual and I loved it! Go for it girl!

    A wedding dress can be any dress you'd like! Don't feel like you need to stick to the traditional style. As long as you're comfortable and confident, that's what matters!

    Light colors and floral dresses look just fine on a beach. Wear what makes you feel beautiful and if you want a touch of "bridal" add a headpiece to match. I'm sure you will look lovely.
