Wedding Dress And Wedding Beach: Helpful Tips on Picking a Suitable Dress


by Jannine Topolski

What style of dress is most suitable for a beach wedding? Well you will want a style that does not drag along the sand and at the same time looks suitable for such a special day. With this is mind most future brides tend to go for the empire style made out of a light weight material. The sheath design is also a popular alternative.

With the skirt beginning to fall from just below the breasts, the length can be short enough to stay off the sand during the ceremony while giving the impression of a full-length gown. Obviously, the use of a train is out of the question when getting married on the beach, and with an empire style beach wedding dress the bride can still look resplendent in her choice of gowns.

Let us not forget that even though beach weddings may be less formal than church weddings they have the same meaning. We have seen an increase in couples choosing to get married in their own personal choice of surroundings whether this is due to budgetary constraints or otherwise. Generally beach wedding dresses do tend to be cheaper than the more traditional gowns.

Find The Dress That Matches Bride’s Personality.

One of the main drivers in the process of finding a beach wedding dress is the personality and attitude of the bride. Whilst the bride may have a less formal approach to her special day it is still important that she exudes the devotion and class that the service richly deserves. Her dress should not be so informal that it looks out of place against the backdrop.

Let’s not forget that beaches tend to be hot and as such the weather should be a factor in the choice of dress. Her dress needs to be suitable in the heat of the day so a free flowing light fabric should be considered, this will also be appropriate for the reception afterwards. A light colored matching jacket or shawl can be kept on hand for when the weather turns a little cooler.

The important thing about the choice of any gown, even a beach wedding dress is that it is tailored to the bride and is of a style and design that accents the positive aspects of her stature. Before buying any beach wedding dress, take a few minutes a get a picture in mind about how the wedding photos will look a few years down the road. If the imagined image is positive, it is probably the right choice.
