You have found the most magnificent dress to make your wedding day beautiful. You’ve thought about your comfort and now it is time to choose something perfect for your groom, amazing for your bridal party, and give tips to your guests. Having a destination wedding will make you consider the wedding attire in a different way. You can be traditional or non-traditional, but making everyone comfortable should be of utmost importance to you.
Let’s begin with the groom. The first thing to decide on is whether you want a suit or just a casual shirt and pants. Either choice gives you plenty of options. You will need to decide on a fabric and that will lead to color or pattern. The most common fabric is linen, which is lightweight and very comfortable. You might also consider a light cotton. Now think about color? This is your opportunity to show a little excitement. Choosing white or tan is traditional, but what about a pastel or bold color, or what about a bright pattern. This is the time to make your wedding a little more special. Whatever look you choose, it should be stylish. There are tuxes, suits, button down shirts, vests, ties, flip flops, or barefoot – your groom will be dresses just as perfectly as you. And his groomsmen will follow suit (no pun intended)!
Next comes your Bridesmaids who should be stylish, comfortable, and memorable. The rules that applied to you will also apply to them. Light fabric and knee length are the traditional styles but don’t rule out a floor length dress too. Dress color can be pastels, but a vibrant color that gives you the feel of the sun, sea, and sand might be the better choice. A dress that is short with spaghetti straps will please everyone. One strap in the Grecian style will also give some support. A slim and slinky dress will give your maids a classic touch. And a strapless gown is timeless. Look into all of the Beach Bridesmaids Dresses available.
You will also want to consider your guests and what they will be wearing. It would be nice of you to have some helpful tips available when they ask. You want to make sure that the invitation states the style of wedding you are having. For women, they will want to have a fabric that is light and flowing. You could suggest linen, chiffon, organza, or cotton, all of which can look luxurious and stay cool. The most traditional wedding color is black, but that will be too hot on the beach, so staying with island tones is a great way to go. You can suggest your wedding colors, or just tell them to choose something light and bright. Then depending on the formality, they can choose the appropriate dress: floor length, tea length, or maxi. Shoes can be anything from flip flops to a dressy sandal. As for the men picking a linen suit is the best way to go. With any dress code, you can’t go wrong in that type of suit. Let them choose a little color if they want to make a statement and have some fun. Consider short sleeves and forego the tie – you’re on the beach!
I hope that these tips have been helpful. Being cool, comfortable, and fabulous should be a goal for everyone. With a little thought, you can have everyone truly experience your wedding day and not worry about their comfort in the hot sun. The sand, sea, and sun should be the beautiful backdrop to your romantic nuptials.
