Beach Wedding Dresses, Casual Elegance
Your beach wedding dress can be a lot more casual than one that may be worn if you were tying the knot in a church or chapel. Simple wedding dresses for the beach do not need to be as heavy or hang past the ankles or come with a very long and ornate train. And, because informal beach wedding dresses use less material and embellishments, even a designer model will not be as costly as one with a long train or using many yards of expensive fabric.
Casual and Informal Beach Wedding Dresses Come in Many Styles
As with buying any wedding dress, there is a broad price range for styles that are made to be worn on the sand. And there are many styles to choose from, such as a simple white sun dress or a halter beach wedding dress. And since you are getting married at the seashore, a short beach wedding dress is acceptable but you can still wear one ankle length, yet casual.
Because you may be walking on sand or seashells, you likely will not be wearing very high heels at your ceremony. In fact, you may even be barefoot! So, you’ll want to wear a more casual wedding dress for the beach that speaks bridal elegance yet is cool and holds up well under such conditions as may occur outside near the water’s edge. You also would not want your gown so long that you might get it dirty or trip over it!
Casual Dresses for Your Destination Beach Wedding
Another nice thing about dressing casually, especially for a destination wedding, is that, unlike a heavy formal gown, simple beach wedding dresses are easier to pack for long-distance traveling.
This same holds true for packing many of the bride’s and groom’s vacationing accessories. Assuming you are going somewhere warm, you’ll be bringing plenty of shorts, shirts, tees and tank-tops and naturally a cute swim suit!
Complementing Your Casual Beach Wedding Dress
There are many fun accessories that you can wear or hold that will complement a simple dress for beach wedding. These include:
- -Fun white sandals or “Bride” flip flops with just the right heel height.
- -Sea shell earrings or a rhinestone palm tree toe ring.
- -A dainty parasol to shade you from the sun.
- -Live or silk flower accents in your hair.
- -An Asian silk or sandalwood wedding fan.
Beach Dresses for Bridesmaids and Flower Girls
Well, the bride needs her wedding gown, but her attendants, the bridesmaids will need an appropriate dress for the beach as well. Flower girl dresses are also available in styles especially suited to your beach nuptials.
Of course the groom and his attendants will also need to be attired in shirts, slacks or suits appropriate for a tropical climate and beachy location warmed by the sun.
