Whether you’re excited to start the honeymoon early or simply looking to take advantage of nature’s splendor, a beach wedding is the perfect backdrop to solidify your love. There’s arguably no setting more romantic for saying ‘I do’.
Looking the part is half the fun. Below are some fabrics and styles for your beach wedding dress to help get you inspired.
General Beach Wedding Dress Tips
Before you start wedding dress shopping, keep in mind you’ll be up against the elements. In general, make sure to:
· Skip ball gown skirts and trains. They collect moisture and sand that can ruin your light, ethereal look.
· Ventilate with cutouts, slits or lace. The reflection of the sun off the sand and water can heat things up quickly. These dress features will help you keep cool.
· Show off your feet. Bare feet on the beach are some kind of wonderful. Plus, feeling the sand between your toes is far more preferable to heels that sink in the sands.
Beach Wedding Dress Fabrics
Not all beach wedding dress fabrics are airy and romantic enough for a seaside ceremony. Pick the wrong one and you’ll be stuffily sweating bullets. To take advantage of the ocean breeze you’ll want to stick with a few tried and trues.
Tulle – This sheer fabric is typically made with cotton, silk or nylon fibers, giving volume without adding extra weight. Glide down the aisle in this tulle dreamboat.
Chiffon – Breathable and delicate, chiffon moves and drapes like a dream. Perfect for any beach betrothal.
Silk-organza- Glow up in this shimmery lightweight blend. Its fluid structure is as elegant as it is ethereal.
Charmeuse – If you’re looking to add a bit of gloss to your beach wedding dress, this is a good option. The fabric is super breathable and rests close to the skin, showing off your bridal body.
Crepe – The thin, purposely textured appearance hides wrinkles without weighing you down. Great for creating a unique shape to your beach wedding look.
