So, you have decided to elope. One of the first things runaway brides think of is what are they going to wear. It’s your day so wear whatever you want. I know, sometimes you need good suggestions to get an inspired idea. Below are suggested outfits to buy and wear for the big elopement day.
I’m Eloping! What Should I Wear? Blouse and Blue Jeans
You can wear blue jeans with a white or ivory blouse. You can still have a headpiece or flower piece in your hair. This is your choice. Just let your groom know that you are wearing blue jeans, so he can share in the comfortable situation. Blue jeans and a white blouse are perfect for elopements to the courthouse.
I’m Eloping! What Should I Wear? Wedding Dress
You can still wear a wedding dress. A short train is suggested; especially if you are getting married on the beach or in the woods. Remember to stay within a budget when buying a wedding dress. One of the perks of eloping is saving money. Discount wedding dresses can be purchased from David’s Bridal or lilywedding.com
I’m Eloping! What Should I Wear? Just a Plain Dress
An old church dress from your closet would be suitable. This is also an excellent choice if you want to wear a plain white dress. Want to buy a new plain dress for the occasion? Go to JCPenny, Lane Bryant, or Wal-Mart. These stores always have a sale on good clothes. A veil matches a plain white dress (if you want to wear one).
