What is an elopement?

In the literal sense, to elope means to run away. In the wedding world, to elope suggests a couple is forgoing a formal wedding (and all its complementary events and traditions) and opting for a small ceremony and party somewhere other than their hometown. Some may elope in secret, while others inform and invite an exclusive guest list. In both instances, an elopements have a fun and intimate energy.

Elopement Wedding Dresses

No matter the elopement details, from guests to location, the bride deserves to wear a beautiful dress for her special day.

Minimonies offer an intimate option for couples that don’t want a large group watching them tie the knot. Whether you want a small ceremony before a big reception or are planning to skip the party altogether, we’ve rounded up a handful of low-key minimony wedding dresses for a small wedding celebration.

What is a Minimony?

A minimony is exactly what it sounds like – a mini wedding ceremony! Some couples like to make things official by having an intimate wedding ceremony with a small guest list of family and close friends (usually around 10-15 guests) ahead of their wedding reception, which has a larger guest list. Other couples want to keep their entire wedding small, and may invite a close-knit group of family and friends to watch them get married at a courthouse or in their backyard. No matter your style, minimonies can be a great way to start newlywed life.

Minimony Wedding Dresses

Even if you’re not having an extravagant wedding ceremony, wearing white while getting married is a fun way to make you feel like a bride! Unlike a traditional wedding dress, little white dresses are often shorter, less complex, and more affordable. Keep reading for a few minimony wedding dresses to help you look fabulous while saying “I Do.”

Short and Sweet

Styles SDWG1103, SDWG1049 and SDWG1133

Short, sweet, and with a little bit of an unexpected twist, these little white dresses are minimony-approved! If your minimony has a casual setting like a courthouse or a restaurant, a short white dress might be the perfect option for you! Pick a style with an unexpected detail that matches your personal style, like a unique back, intricate lace details, or trending balloon sleeves.

Backyard Boho Bride

Featuring styles SDWG1135, SDWG1083 and SDWG1094

A boho lace style is a no-brainer for laid-back brides! These minimony dresses are casual enough for backyard nuptials and the perfect blank canvas to accessorize to your bridal style. A simple veil, classic pair of pumps (or sandals for a casual look!), and some bling are the finishing touches you need to complete the look.

Simple yet Elegant

Featuring styles SDWG1134, SDWG1124 and SDWG0815

If you’re having a casual ceremony but still want to wear an outfit that looks like a traditional wedding dress, consider picking a simple white sheath wedding dress. Details like a leg slit and lace trim add personality to these simpler styles. If you’re looking for something with more embellishment, consider a midi-length wedding dress. These dresses are more affordable than a traditional gown, and give you a great opportunity to show off your wedding shoes!

The post Best selling wedding dresses of 2022…so far! appeared first on David's Bridal Blog.

Hello, beautiful! I’m Gabbi (aka @heregoesgabbi), a plus size bride getting married in September 2022. I couldn’t be more excited to marry my love, Jared, in a private ceremony. And then, I can’t wait to celebrate it with friends and family at a raging party! Woot woot! But before I can walk down the aisle, I needed to find THE dress.

As a size 22 woman, I had a lot of concerns about plus size wedding dress shopping. Would I find one I loved? Would they even have samples in my size? Would the stylist really understand how to dress my body? (Spoiler alert: The answer is yes to all!) I hope my experience and tips for finding a plus size wedding dress will help ease your anxiety and make for a magical moment!

What It’s Like to Shop for a Plus Size Wedding Dress at David’s Bridal?

Let me start with this: Shopping for a plus size wedding dress at David’s Bridal is exciting! They offer sizes 0-30W, which means brides of all shapes and measurements can find samples and on-trend styles that match their wedding vision. Now, a little about my experience….

My First Appointment

I ended up doing 2 bridal appointments. The first time, I went by myself and met with a stylist to try on a wide variety of dresses. All styles, fits and vibes. I wanted to go without the pressure of an audience to narrow out what I liked. I can’t recommend this step enough!

I booked it on a random day off from work midweek. It was slower in the store, and I got great 1-on-1 attention from my stylist. She took the time to hear about me, my wedding vision and was also game to let me try on whatever caught my eye. Oh, and no pressure to buy! I set really clear intentions with her from the time we met, so it made it easy to just enjoy playing dress up.

My #FoundTheOne Appointment

A few months later, I returned to David’s Bridal with a few close friends and my mom. I knew I had a front runner, but I also knew that, because David’s Bridal has such extensive offerings, there were new dresses in stores to try on. 

My stylist was able to pull up my favorite styles from my first go around and pull some similar styles (and some surprise hits!). All of them in a size I could comfortably walk in and see what I’d really look like. As a plus size woman, those options were huge! 

My amazing hype crew helped me validate my feelings on dresses I loved and ones that weren’t quite right for my wedding vision. They complimented by butt in mermaid dresses and oohed and aahed when I looked like a princess. 

My stylist helped pull accessories and talk through potential alterations to make the dress just mine. She even helped me pull a corset top to wear under the dress so that it gave me the cleavage I wanted. 

All of the extra effort made it clear when I #FoundTheOne. And while I can’t share it now, you’ll have to follow me to see what I chose!

Tips for Your Plus Size Bridal Appointment

1. Book a solo appointment if you don’t have a clear vision. It’s low pressure and a fun way to explore your options.
2. Create a list of favorites on the David’s Bridal website before your appointment. That’ll make it easy to reference your favorite styles with your stylist. 
3. Make sure you bring a hype crew with you to find THE dress–no one who will bring you down and only people who support your vision! It’s your big day and you should have the magical moment of your dreams. 
4. Come caffeinated and fed. Sure, you don’t want to feel bloated in your gown, but it’s a lot of work. You don’t want to be hangry!
5. Don’t be afraid to try on a dress that’s way outside your comfort zone. It’s important to know what you don’t want as much as it is to know what you do. 
6. You don’t have to wear shapewear if you don’t want to. I wore some light compression underwear and no bra for my try-ons. The David’s Bridal experts can help you find the shapewear and support you need for your dress! 

Good luck with your own wedding dress experience! I’m sure it’ll be magical.
