Who we are
Elope with Me is a bridal brand with a unique collection of exclusive one-off bridal pieces.
These looks are available to hire for all of your bridal events, from elopements and engagement parties, to your bachelorette weekend or your second look on the dancefloor.
Born from the desire to help brides feel special in a couture piece, the dresses are designed and made locally in Perth, Western Australia.
This is the new era for bridal.
Circular design - heard of her?
Each dress is made from carefully selected fabrics, following the principles of circular design.
Vintage, deadstock designer, end-of roll fabrics along with the occasional vintage wedding dress are bought back to life, re-imagined as Elope with Me dresses.
The hiring process is circular in itself - wear your dream dress and know that rather than sitting at the back of your wardrobe for the next 50 years, its got many more dancefloor appearances to come.
By hiring out our collection of dresses, we are also able to ensure they are looked after and repaired to extend their wear and useful life.

FAQs
What should I wear or bring to my fitting appointment?
Wear nude, seamless underwear where possible, and bring along your favourite pair of heels, or a pair similar to the height of the shoes you’d like to wear on your special day.
How long are fitting appointments?
Fitting appointments are 45 minutes, providing enough time to try on a few dresses, and try on your favourite again towards the end.
What if the dress I like isn’t available to hire for the date of my event?
As our dresses are truly one of a kind, it is important you book in your hire as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
What if the dress I’d like to try on at the appointment is out for hire at the time?
If there is a particular dress you’d like to try on, please include this in the notes when booking your fitting appointment. That way our team will know to reschedule your appointment if required.
How long is the hire period?
Generally 4 or 7 days, however longer or customised hire periods may be requested at an additional cost.
How should I transport my dress?
Your dress will come clean, ironed and steamed in a garment bag, ready for you to wear. To make sure it doesn’t crease, lay the bag flat when transporting and hang it up when at location.
Can I iron or wash my dress?
Please don’t iron, steam or wash the dress. We use a range of delicate vintage fabrics to create the dresses, many of which require special care. Any damage caused by steaming or ironing may result in charges being applied or deducted from your deposit. Follow the transport instructions above to avoid creases.
What do I do if I spill something or mark my dress?
First of all, don’t panic, mistakes happen sometimes. Make our staff aware of the mark when you return your dress and we will take care of the cleaning. For damaging stains, fake tan marks or larger marks, extra cleaning or repair fees may apply. Read our T’s & C’s for more details.
