Jet off to a glamorous location like Paris in this next elopement wedding dress from L'IDÉE. This gown is so understated and glamorous. We love the head-to-toe modern pleated fabric.

A classic slip dress can be a great option depending on what your elopement plans are. This style gown gives you a full length style, without any unnecessary volume. If you are going to travel with a slip dress, make sure you pay attention to fabric (and ask the hotel for a steamer ahead of time!)
09. BHLDN: Warm Weather Elopement
This next dress has us dreaming of a warm weather elopement destination. We love it paired with chic sandals, but it would look gorgeous as you walk barefoot down the sand as well!

You are sure to feel like an absolute goddess in this stunning wedding gown from Monique Lhuillier. This V-neck draped capelet sleeve gown will have you feeling very formal with its full length silhouette, but without all of the fluff which makes it easier to travel with.
