When shopping for a beach wedding dress, consider fit, weather, setting, and travel. Opt for a dress that flatters your figure, is weather-appropriate, blends with the setting, and travels well. Avoid bulky dresses, long sleeves, trains, and large veils.
Her special day is on the way and she has decided to have a beach wedding. Your husband-to-be will think you’re beautiful if you float down the aisle in a potato sack, but you know it’s all about the dress. One convenient thing about beach weddings is that almost anything goes. Brides can wear almost any color or style they want. However, there are a few things to consider when shopping for a beach wedding dress.
The most important thing to consider when buying a beach wedding dress is also the most important thing when buying any item of clothing. If it doesn’t fit you, please don’t buy it! Finding a dress that fits and flatters your figure is very important, even if you have to pay extra money to have it altered. In addition to looking good on the hanger, it needs to look good on your body. For example, if you’re on the curvy plus size side, look for a beach wedding dress that accentuates your curves, and if you’re slim and lacking in curves, look for styles to add some shape.
Another thing to consider when shopping for a beach wedding dress is the weather. The elements play an important role in beach weddings. You have to think about sun, sand and water. The bright, hot sun of beach destinations is not conducive to wearing large, bulky dresses with long sleeves. Many brides opt for slip-on gowns or simple sleeveless or strapless gowns that stay cool in the sun. You definitely should not have a train on your beach wedding dress because it is unattractive when trailing on the sand. Also, refrain from a large cathedral veil. It will look uncomfortable, at best, blowing in the ocean breeze.
In addition to the weather, it’s important to consider the overall setting of your wedding when shopping for a beach wedding dress. It is important to blend in with the environment around you and set the tone for your wedding with your dress. If you’re getting married in front of a five-star beach resort, a casual cotton dress with flip-flops will probably be too casual for the setting. Similarly, an ornate dress will be too fancy if you have chosen to have an intimate wedding on a private beach somewhere.
The last thing to consider when shopping for a beach wedding dress is how well your dress will travel. If you live on the beach and the dress doesn’t have to travel a great distance, it allows you to be more liberal in your dress fabric selection. If you are driving or flying long distance, it is recommended that you stick to materials that iron easily, such as lace or silk chiffon. Harder fabrics, such as linen or satin, will wrinkle severely and require professional ironing or steaming when you arrive at the beach in your dress.
