About Elope

Hello friends, My name is Sonny and I live in Perth, Western Australia with my family and two shaggy sheepdogs.

I started sketching short wedding dresses years ago when my husband and I were getting married and I couldn’t find the right dress for our casual picnic wedding. I just wanted something short, fun, affordable and something I could wear again after the big day. I didn't find the mini dress I was after and wore a long beautiful dress which got trashed on the day as it bucketed with rain and I never wore it again. It was special, it was gorgeous and it was quite expensive, it just wasn't what I wanted and I didn't have time to have one made. So begins the Elope Bridal Journey.  

I also worked in hospitality for years and hosted lots of weddings at my tiny restaurant. I was so amazed at the brides wearing dresses they couldn't eat in and some brides couldn't even walk comfortably! My dresses are food and booze friendly and are an homage to bars and restaurants in Perth. They all have a little food and wine pairing 🥂
