My fiancé and I had already planned a wedding and reception, my dress was purchased, everything was set but then my dad passed away very close to the wedding date so I called it off and haven't been able to think about walking down the aisle or doing all of the traditional wedding things without my dad there.
SOO...we've decided to elope this year on our 7 year anniversary in November. It will definitely be a beach wedding, not 100% set on a location yet (Myrtle Beach or Laguna Beach, depending on how much time he can get off of work)
Like I said above, I already have my dress purchased. It's a pretty traditional a-line style with exposed tulle on the side. Is that appropriate being so formal? Or should I consider getting a new one that is more flowy and beach appropriate?
