Dress for elopement

[tequilasunset]

My DP and I are getting married in April next year.

We haven't told anyone we're engaged and plan to elope - which we would be doing sooner if it weren't for prior planned events!

I'm having real trouble deciding what to wear!!!

I really want to wear a beautiful wedding dress, but I also want it to be simple and not 'too much', as it's going to be just me and DP.

We're getting married in London at a registry office with Chelsea Pensioners as our witnesses, then after a few photos we will be hopping on the Eurostar to Paris for a couple of nights.

Also, I really want to wear my dress for the journey to Paris as when we arrive, a car will be waiting to take us for a lovely meal and I want it to feel special.

Am i crazy? Help!!!

What is your size and height?

this dress could be used for either event link

and maybe something like this for the elopement? link

I'm quite short at 5ft 2in and a size 10.

Those dresses are beautiful but I think I want something a little more bridal...arghhh!

Do you want a dress that you can wear again?
What's your budget?

Something like this

But are you looking for something in white/cream?

If you want something bridal ish but understated, try looking at Bridesmaid dresses. Something very pale blush pink could be lovely

Reaa that dress is beautiful! I might order it to try on.

Not really fussed if I can't wear it again. Budget wise, I have an absolute maximum of £1k for dress, shoes, floral head piece and hair stylist!

JeSuis* that is beautiful! But I'd like something white ideally!

Have you looked at reversible dresses - so white bridal one side and black the other?

Meant for bridesmaid but would be a good idea

Look at Ted Baker, Needle and Thread and Self Portrait. It seems to be between seasons so check again in a few weeks!

Net-a-porter have some gorgeous pieces in the bridal section of their site
How exciting, it sounds like a perfect day btw

Long or short?

Can I be cheeky and ask your age?

Thank you sadnessin we're very excited!

I'm undecided on length!!

I'm 30

I eloped too - I wore a white Balmain mini dress 😍

Then had a big party when we got home so i could wear my fancy "real" wedding dress but without the pressure!

Best decision ever

The dress @Reaa suggested is gorgeous

Sounds magical.

I would go for a tea length dress, you want to look like a bride! Sparkly heels and a beautiful vintage hair comb.

Drink champagne on the train and dance under the stars... make the very best of it!

Jenny Packham does some fabulous beaded 20s style wedding dresses. They would be elegant and perfect.

Reaa suggestion is best. Beautiful for the wedding and easy to put a nice jacket over for travelling.

I think vintage tea style is the way to go. Lovely frock , with little jacket for the travelling and dinner. Change the accessories.

I’mnot Sure about flapping about in Eurostar in something white and bridal, andApril can be the cruellest month.
