During the pandemic, we certainly saw a rise in courthouse weddings and elopement style weddings. Some engaged couples are choosing to have small, private wedding ceremonies followed by a larger wedding reception celebration. Courthouse and elopement style wedding ceremonies are also popular for couples who are getting married at a destination wedding. In this case, the couple will go to the courthouse to officially get their marriage license and will have a larger wedding at a destination with all of their friends and family. That being said, if you are a bride thinking about or planning a courthouse wedding ceremony, an elopement wedding, or even a mini wedding, don't think you need to skimp on your bridal fashion!
No matter where you choose to say "I do", you are still a bride and should wear a dress you absolutely love on wedding day. Perhaps you don't think a princess ball gown or a bridal dress with a long train is appropriate for a courthouse or an elopement, but you don't have to settle for a dress that is less than amazing. Many bridal designers are expanding their "little white dress" collections and have stunning options that would be amazing for a mini wedding or courthouse wedding.
From classic lace detailing to timeless satin sheaths, we are sure to have a dress that's perfect for your courthouse wedding or elopement wedding ceremony. Here are a few of our favorite bridal dresses for elopement style weddings:
