What to Wear to Your Elopement: Small Wedding, Big Style

What to Wear to Your Elopement: Small Wedding, Big Style
Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style! In fact, going small gives you even more freedom to wear exactly what makes you feel amazing. Whether you dream of a glamorous wedding look or something unique and nontraditional, your elopement day is the perfect opportunity to embrace your personal style and go all out.
​

For the Couple
Your wedding outfit can be as grand or as simple as you like. If you’ve always envisioned yourself in a showstopping ensemble, don’t let the smaller guest list hold you back. Rock that full-length, flowing train, beaded bodice, or sharp tailored suit with confidence! Want something a little more low-key but still fabulous? A chic cocktail dress, a jumpsuit, a stylish blazer, or even a modern two-piece set can make just as much of a statement. And remember—white is optional! If a bold color or a floral pattern feels more like you, go for it. The key is wearing something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to say, "I do."

​

For Guests
Elopements don’t always mean just the couple—if you’re inviting a few close family and friends, you may want to offer some attire guidance. Let them know the vibe! If you’re dressing up, encourage guests to wear semi-formal or formal attire to match the aesthetic. If your elopement is more relaxed, a chic but comfortable look (think sundresses, dress shirts, and slacks) can work beautifully.

Accessorizing Your Elopement Look

• Veil or No Veil? A flowing veil, a statement headpiece, or fresh flowers can elevate your look.
• Shoes Matter! Consider your elopement location—hiking boots for a mountaintop vow exchange, sleek heels for a cityscape ceremony, or barefoot-on-the-beach vibes.
• Statement Pieces. Whether it’s bold earrings, a unique bouquet, a colorful tie, or a sentimental accessory, small details can make a big impact on your overall look.

Final ThoughtsYour elopement is a celebration of your love, and your outfit should reflect who you are. Whether you go full-glam, embrace a non-traditional style, or keep it classic, the most important thing is feeling incredible on your wedding day. Small wedding, big fashion—you deserve it all!
