Last minute elopement dresses and outfits {Including non-traditional, fashion-forward, and non-binary options}

Elopements, historically, are spontaneous in nature. And over the course of documenting over 100+ elopements, we have discovered this really fun and freeing feeling with the shorter-planned elopements. Almost like we’re doing something wrong, like sneaking out. It’s fantastic and bold, and we’re here for it.

If you find yourself planning an elopement and need your dress/suit/clothes in a short timeframe, here’s our list of 16 places to buy your elopement dress and suit, (plus non-binary options) and receive it within 2-6 weeks.

Ready-to-ship, last minute elopement dresses, suits, and non-traditional outfits.
