Look and feel incredible for your stylish escape to the Rock
Many people assume elopements are just simple, last-minute affairs, but the truth is—they can be just as luxurious and special as a grand wedding. In fact, because you’re not spending $100K on a massive celebration, you have the freedom to invest in what truly matters: your attire, photography, flowers, and overall experience.
A well-planned elopement in Gibraltar can look and feel just as high-end as a destination wedding in Positano. Many picturesque corners of Gibraltar provide a stunning backdrop, from Mediterranean blue waters to old European-style streets, giving your elopement a timeless, editorial feel.
Yes, Gibraltar is known for being hands-on and easy-going, making the process effortless—but that doesn’t mean your wedding should feel casual or thrown together. With the right styling, your intimate ceremony can look elegant, refined, and truly unforgettable.
Make Your Bridal Styling Top Notch
Styling isn’t just about the dress—it’s about the entire look. A beautifully curated outfit consists of:
• The Dress (fabric, fit, and design)
• Jewelry (quality over quantity)
• Shoes (elegant and comfortable)
• Hair & Makeup (polished and cohesive)
• Bag, if any (luxury details matter)
• Flowers (fresh, never fake!)
I’ve seen brides wear stunning dresses but ruin the overall look with cheap shoes, fake flowers, or a lack of cohesive styling. The key to looking effortlessly chic is paying attention to every element. If you’re not confident in styling yourself, either hire a professional or take inspiration from Pinterest boards created by stylists.
What to Wear for a Gibraltar Wedding: Fabric, Fit & Comfort
Gibraltar enjoys mild winters (15-20°C) and hot, humid summers (30-40°C). Despite this, your outfit can remain consistent year-round, with a light fur or wrap for cooler days.
Fabrics to Choose
• Silk, viscose, and natural fabrics keep you cool and elegant.
• Avoid polyester—it’s hot, uncomfortable, and looks cheap in bright sunlight.
• Linen isn’t recommended—it creases easily and doesn’t have a luxurious feel.
Fit & Comfort
• Opt for flowy silhouettes that allow movement.
• Structured corsetry can add elegance, but ensure it’s comfortable.
• If choosing a mini dress, balance it with sophisticated accessories.
High-Fashion Bridal Brands to Consider
Instead of typical bridal shops, I recommend fashion-forward brands that exude luxury and style:
• House of CB – Corset-inspired silhouettes, modern elegance.
• Rat & Boa – You cannot go wrong with this brand! I love most of their dresses and fabrics are very floaty! Effortless, sultry, and contemporary.
• Grace Loves Lace – If you are into boho look then definitely go for this brand!
• Retrofete - something completely different, very edgy and brave so be aware!
I’ve personally photographed brides wearing these brands, and they always look phenomenal. These pieces don’t just photograph beautifully—they make you feel amazing.
Completing the Look: Accessories & Details
- Jewelry: Minimal but high-quality. Gold, diamonds, or pearls always elevate a look.
- Shoes: No plastic, no overly chunky platforms—think Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, or Amina Muaddi.
- Hair & Makeup: Professional styling is worth it—your wedding day isn’t the time to experiment.
- Flowers: Opt for fresh blooms that complement your outfit. No fake flowers!
