5 Tips to Elope in Style

Opting to elope may not be as big a sacrifice as you think. Here are five ways to get the wedding of your dreams without the hassle and expense of a traditional ceremony.

1  Economic Yet stylish

Wedding dresses and Tux rentals can be taxing on time and money.  Instead opt for a more affordable and informal wedding dress and suit. Not only are they still elegant but you'll be investing in attire that can be worn more than once.

Simple additions such as a beautiful hairpiece and bouquet add style and charm to your appearance for a fraction of the cost of a full-length gown.
