 Due
to the nature of outdoor weddings, beach wedding dresses
should be a little more understated and a little less formal. The
beach environment also brings up other considerations like comfort
in warm and possibly windy conditions. But that doesn’t mean that
beach wedding dresses are any less elegant or romantic.
Simple beach wedding dresses go from delicately beaded A-lines
to flowing sheath styles. The key is to make sure that your wedding
dress will suit the occasion and fit in with the rest of your beach
wedding.
So, how do
you make sure your beach wedding dress has seaside style? Whether
your wedding is a chic coastal affair or a barefoot wedding on a
tropical island, there are a few essentials that will make your
beach wedding dress fit right into your overall wedding theme.
Below are
our five must haves for beach wedding dresses. Read on and use this
advice to help you select a beautiful wedding dress that’s just
perfect for your beach wedding.
BEACH WEDDING DRESS
MUST HAVES
There are lots of
choices when it comes to beach wedding dresses. For the most
comfortable and fitting beach style, make sure your dress has these
essential elements.
 Short
and Sweet
One point
that’s important when choosing a beach wedding dress is the length
of your dress. Longer dresses are more formal in nature, but they
can be used for beach weddings as long as they don’t have a long
train or a very full skirt. A newer trend is to wear a shorter
wedding dress reaching to ankle-length or higher.
Shorter
styles make more casual beach wedding dresses and prevent hems from
getting sandy. If you’re looking for a unique beach wedding dress,
try a short one it will capture the casual and fun vibes of the
seashore.
Flowing Fabric
The beach
is often windy, so there could be a breeze on your wedding day.
What could be prettier than a simple beach wedding dress that
lightly flows in the wind?
When you choose your beach wedding
dress, be sure to pay attention to the fabric that it’s made from.
Heavy
fabrics (like velvet) will look out of place and will also be
uncomfortable in warmer temperatures. So choose fabrics with
lightness about them like silk, organza, satin, charmeuse and
chiffon.
Delicate
Detail
Heavy beading
may be appropriate for a cathedral wedding, but too much
embellishment on a beach wedding dress just won’t do. When it comes
to details on your dress, don’t do too much. A simple beach wedding
dress will go better with the understated style of the location.
You can use
beading, lace, ribbon or other embellishment; just keep it on the
conservative side. For example, an a-line dress with a fabric
flower along the back or a long sheath with a simple beaded design
is lovely for a beach wedding.
Slim
Silhouette
Many
brides want to feel like a princess on their wedding day, but if
you’re having a beach wedding you may decide to forgo the poufy
princess dress in favor of a more simple, fitted dress. Beach
wedding dresses are best when they match the relaxed tone of the
beach surroundings. That means selecting a slimmer wedding dress
silhouette.
There are
many different wedding dress silhouettes that will work for beach
weddings. Some of our favorites are the sheath, a-line, trumpet and
mermaid silhouette. Just picture an elegant yet simple beach
wedding dress and you can’t go wrong.
Another
thing to take into account is the neckline of your beach wedding
dress. A high neckline like will feel too stuffy, so go with styles
that bare more like a halter, scoop, sweetheart or strapless
neckline.
