As destination weddings become increasingly popular, more and more couple are planning beach weddings. Though the beach makes a beautiful backdrop for a wedding, you must take extra consideration when planning your attire for a beach wedding wedding. The bride, groom and the wedding party must be comfortable and cool, yet still stylish.
Beach Bridal Gowns
Gowns for a beach wedding are usually less formal than those for a traditional church wedding. Long trains, ball gowns and large headpieces are not the norm. Your gown should be made of a lightweight fabric, such as chiffon, satin or silk. Short or tea length dresses are very appropriate. Don't choose a skirt that is too light, as the wind may cause problems.
You don't need to stick to white for a beach wedding. Many beach brides choose cream colors to match the sand. For bridesmaids, select a pale blue shade to match the colors of the ocean. Spaghetti straps, halters and sleeveless gowns are perfect for a beach wedding. If you want to cover your shoulders a bit, cap sleeves are also nice. Long sleeves are inappropriate for a beach wedding. Because of the wind factor, you should skip the veil and instead decorate your hair with tropical flowers.
Bridal Shoes
Skip your shoes altogether! Walking barefoot on the sand is perfect for a beach wedding. If don't want to be without shoes, low heeled sandals or flip flops are also appropriate. Choose shoes in silver, pale blue or off white. Shoes with embellishments, such as beading or stones, are perfect for beach wedding attire.
Beach Wedding Attire for Men
A linen suit is perfect for the groom and his attendants. Choose a light colored suit without a tie, or even white pants with a light button down shirt.
Whatever wedding attire you choose for your beach wedding, just make sure that it's comfortable and you love it! Enjoy your special day!
