When you’re planning your elopement, one of the things that you still need: is a dress, or jumpsuit. 😉
You’re already leaning towards an alternative style of wedding- so you may not want a cut and dry wedding dress, and may be on a budget too! I’ve compiled a list of shops to find a wedding dress/jumpsuit from!
I’ve linked all the sites in their title, and image, and ranked the average price of dresses into 3 categories! $- $500 or less. $$- $1000. $$$-$1500 or more!
Dame and Maiden has the most UNIQUE dresses! You select the style of gown and she makes it custom to you and your body! You just need to have it ordered 8+ weeks before your date otherwise it’s a rush order.

Lulu’s– known for their wedding and formal attire, they also have an impressive wedding and jumpsuit collection! Ranging from bridal shower/courthouse wedding to beach and boho vibes, and elegant formal!

Azazie– with an extensive selection of bridesmaids and Mother of the bride gowns, they also have a stunning collection of wedding dresses! A few of my brides wore Azazie gowns on their wedding day!

Something I wish I would have done differently about my wedding- designing my own dress. How you may wonder? Anomalie. A wedding dress company that walks with you in designing your DREAM dress!! After I bought my wedding dress I reached out with my inspiration dresses out of curiosity on the cost- and it only would have been $200 more than my dress after alterations. Like, why isn’t this a more common thing?!? $-$$$
