The Wedding Dress - Beach Wedding Article
If you're planning a beach wedding there are no rules that state that you have to compromise your wedding dress preference. If you want a classically styled, full dress then you should have one...however there might be some considerations to keep in mind. Alternatively you might opt for something more casual and practical.
We've tried to do some thinking for you, so consider these points whichever direction you head in:
- If you want the classic Wedding Dress think about the keeping the material of the dress to a lightweight fabric.
- Time your wedding to be in a cooler part of the year and time of day.
- Tulle and organza layered in ocean colours could be a fabulous and lightweight, compliment to turquoise oceans that surround your Caribbean beach wedding
- A slip dress, as the one worn by Cindy Crawford in her Bahamas wedding, offers a more casual option and allows you to dip your toes in the ocean after the ceremony with no fear of ruining your dress
- A bias cut, floor length satin or silk dress topped with a short veil or flower garland adds evening elegance to a sunset wedding
- For long wedding dresses keep in mind that your wedding dress length should reflect the fact that you might be bare foot throughout the ceremony
- For a truly casual beach look there are a variety of beach sarongs and matching tops available online. Dress up this look with barefoot "jewellery" shoes, flowers in your hair, or a flower tiara
- Ask your wedding planner to provide a red carpet to your faux alter on the beach and avoid getting your heels stuck in the sand, alternately, go barefoot for that true beach wedding feel!
And finally, don't forget about what you'll be wearing under your dress! Why not check out these Wedding Day Essentials at Bare Necessities for that finishing touch.
