Tips for the Perfect Beach Wedding Dress
Weddings on the beach are so much popular now a days. They are much easier to plan – nature does all the decorating for you so there isn’t a lot of work to do before hand. Beach wedding dresses run the gamut from absolutely simple, to fabulously stunning. The popularity of having a wedding on the beach is growing as couples look to more unusual venues for their wedding, and having a wedding al fresco allows a greater choice in the type of dress that can be worn for the occasion.

So, finally if you have decided to have your wedding at a beach, you are going to pick up a dress which goes with this theme. The traditional gown and veil won’t do. Think about it, you are going to make a mess of your beautiful dress on a beach if it is a long flowing white satin gown with a long train. The dress could end up in a mess. While choosing your dress you will have to make sure that you are very comfortable in it. Since the wedding is on a beach, it should not be long.
With this wedding trend becoming more popular, the designers are coming up with innovative and unique ideas perfect for the occasion. For the beach wedding, its utmost vital to consider the quality of fabric as you might have to travel a lot and also the fabric should not be out of place in high humidity. For instance, you can wear a long dress made of Chiffon, which will give an elegant and floating appearance to the gown. Chiffon is smoother and a very lustrous fabric, perfect for a wedding dress. A beach wedding dress style that looks incredibly beautiful in Chiffon, is the princess or emperor waist line design. There’s a variety of styles within the latter styles, like: spaghetti straps, halter, and V-neck or emperor waist A-line style.

You can go for a lightweight material like chiffon, silk, linen or satin. It is best if it is pretty simple. A simple yet elegant wedding dress would add to the romantic setting on the beach. A sarong would make a lovely wedding dress if you can carry it well along with a nice halter top. You can also go for a strapless or spaghetti straps which would look very beautiful on the beach. You can also go a bit different than traditional white dress. There are various themes within beach theme like Hawaiian theme, carnival theme etc. Hawaiian theme would make a very good and colorful choice. It’s your choice, have it your way.
Beach wedding dresses should minimize layers and puffiness. The beach tends to be a lot warmer than an air conditioned church. Natural fabrics such as cotton are your best bet as they breathe well and you won’t have problems with sweating. Avoid heavy embroidery and bead-work as these can add a significant amount of weight to the dress and mean your body heats up more while wearing it.
A few important reminders are essential for beach weddings with regard to etiquette, as some ideas may be considered inappropriate for a wedding. Bikini’s are often frowned upon, although with many people choosing to get married in a chapel and then have a reception on the beach, if a bikini is desired it can be incorporated in the later part of the event.
Brides this is your special day, you want to look your very best and feel the same way you look. So, remember that comfort and beauty go hand in hand. So now that you know what fabrics work best for your beach wedding gown, go shopping and feel great. Long or short, linen or chiffon you will dance all night long in the sand with your groom in its linen suit. Best wishes to you both.
