beach wedding dresses




Having a beach wedding means you're free to wear something less formal. It's a fun and relaxing environment to be in, so you will need to wear something a little more casual and comfortable, even if it is your wedding. Just because you are the bride does not mean you have to walk down the aisle in a bulky wedding dress with a long train. There are some great beach wedding dresses that will make you look gorgeous and appropriate for some fun in the sun.

Beach wedding dresses are typically much shorter than traditional dresses. You are expected to run in the sand barefoot while wearing the dress so it definitely cannot be too restricting. An ideal length of a beach wedding dress is about knee length. Since the weather tends to get very hot at the beach, it's best to wear a dress that is made with very light fabrics such as silk, chiffon or charmeuse. Instead of corsets or ball gowns, you would look for a silhouette that drapes the body and flows naturally.

You won't find too many beach wedding dresses with a lot of embellishments. The dress itself should be more casual, but you can pair the dress with some fun and flirty jewelry or other accessories. A bold turquoise necklace or a vibrant flower in the hair would complete the look beautifully. There are also less conventions when it comes to a beach wedding. The traditional white wedding dress can be substituted for something a little more colorful. Wearing a bright summer color can be a fun alternative, as long as you still look like a bride.

The great thing about beach wedding dresses is that you don't necessarily have to go to a bridal boutique to find a dress that is appropriate for the wedding. In fact, there are a number of regular retail stores that might have the dress you've been looking for. Go online, look at some beach dress styles and decide which styles you like. You can go for a fitting at some bridal boutiques and ask that they bring out some dresses for a beach wedding. After trying on a few you should know which styles look good on your body. If you don't end up getting the dress at the bridal boutique, you can also shop around retail stores with the style you like in mind. Or find something similar online.

There are a couple of regular dresses that can be transformed into a wedding dress. For instance a simple sundress, if worn correctly can make a beautiful wedding dress. Make sure to accessorize it for more of a bridal look. For a longer dress option, maxi dresses would be perfect. They are casual, but drape exquisitely over the body for a goddess look. For even more ideas, check out some designer resort collections. Find out what's in for the season and see if anything catches your eye.
