Tips on the Selecting a Suitable Beach Wedding Dress

By Jannine Topolski


If you are a bride-to-be and you are planning a less formal wedding on the beach or on a boat you will not want a dress that drags in the sand, but at the same you will want a beach wedding dress that you can be proud to wear on your wedding day. While some may choose a simple sheath in light materials, possibly the best choice for a beach wedding dress will be one with an empire design.

For obvious reasons a train is not appropriate however empire dresses give a full length gown look because they start just below the breasts and finish just above the ankle bone. This provides enough length for a design that the bride can still work with in order to look resplendent.

While beach weddings or those less formal affairs taking place in a park or in the backyard can be just as meaningful as a traditional church wedding, it is becoming more popular for couples to be married in their favorite surroundings. Additionally, there may be budgetary constraints place on the couple or their parents and most beach wedding dress options are considerably less expensive that gowns used in more traditional weddings.

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.

Consider the weather when choosing a gown as many times the heat can be unbearable on the beach. The beach wedding dress should be made of light, flowing fabric to help the bride tolerate the heat of the day, as well as the reception to follow. If the weather turns chilly after the ceremony, a light shawl or jacket can be matched to the dress to make the bride more comfortable.

What is paramount is that the final choice of wedding gown, whether it is a beach dress or not, suits the bride in terms of style, personality and body shape. At the same time the practicalities of holding the ceremony on a beach have obviously got to be catered for. Prior to purchasing a beach dress the bride should picture in her mind what her wedding photographs will look like in 10 years time. If she has a positive image the she should still consider the choice.
