Beach Wedding Attire
As destination weddings become increasingly popular, more and more couple are planning beach weddings. Though the beach makes a beautiful backdrop for a wedding, you must take extra consideration when planning your attire for a beach wedding wedding. The bride, groom and the wedding party must be comfortable and cool, yet still stylish.
Beach Bridal Gowns
Gowns for a beach wedding are usually less formal than those for a traditional church wedding. Long trains, ball gowns and large headpieces are not the norm. Your gown should be made of a lightweight fabric, such as chiffon, satin or silk. Short or tea length dresses are very appropriate. Don’t choose a skirt that is too light, as the wind may cause problems.
You don’t need to stick to white for a beach wedding. Many beach brides choose cream colors to match the sand. For bridesmaids, select a pale blue shade to match the colors of the ocean. Spaghetti straps, halters and sleeveless gowns are perfect for a beach wedding. If you want to cover your shoulders a bit, cap sleeves are also nice. Long sleeves are inappropriate for a beach wedding. Because of the wind factor, you should skip the veil and instead decorate your hair with tropical flowers.
