My Favorite Unique Elopement Dresses

For people that are eloping, finding a perfect wedding dress can be such a fun way to personalize such an intimate day and really express their personality. Today, I’m sharing a list of my favorite unique elopement dresses for your big day. There is a lot that goes into finding THE ONE. From the fit, price, and sometimes family approval, this can be an overwhelming experience. Being a wedding photographer, I have seen my fair share of wedding dresses and I can assure you, every single one of my brides looked stunning. My personal taste leans more towards alternative and unique dress styles that are often not so traditional. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite looks and designers throughout the year.

This brand is all about modern bohemian bridal and that style reflects perfectly with this dress. From the lace sleeves to the crochet detail, this designer will help you live out your boho wedding dreams!

This is the place for edgy and alternative wedding dress looks. This designer is not afraid of a dramatic sleeve or long skirt slits so if you are looking to go bold, this might be a good fit!
