Dressing the Bride
Since most of the beach weddings are way too informal than church weddings, the rules for informal wedding dresses are not strict. But to make the ‘sand walk’ convenient, you should avoid heavy trails, long veils, and satin pumps. Rather opt for the unconventional bridal gowns like the knee length or colorful bridal gowns. You can also wear short wedding dresses with a colorful sarong. You can also select a sundress for a beach wedding. Opt for floral prints and bold color shifts. You also need to consider the wedding color theme while selecting the colors of the bridal gowns. Colors like – chic white, cream, beige, lavender, blue, peach, yellow, purple, plum, light shades of orange, pink, yellow, brown, etc., are picture perfect for beach weddings. You also need to opt for less showy bridal jewelry like a string of pearls and dewdrop earrings.
Dresses for the Guests
If you are a guest, then make sure you know the guidelines about the beach wedding dresses for guests, that might be mentioned on the invitation card and act accordingly. You can opt for bright shades of red, blue, purples and coral colors; when selecting shirts, ties, and women’s dresses to wear to a beach wedding as a guest. Women can also opt for t-length sundresses and patterned short sundresses. Search for flower printed, fabrics, if it is a tropical and casual wedding. Children’s attire should be just the same as the adult attire for beach weddings. You can find great deals at various bridal shops if you are searching for cheap dresses to wear to a wedding for guests. As a general guest’s attire rule, jeans are not allowed while women guests should avoid wearing whites and off whites. If you are still confused, then you can simply ask the wedding couple or their parents and get an idea about the wedding color theme.
While selecting the dresses to wear to a wedding at beach the ideal choice of fabrics are made from the semi-transparent fabrics, netted fabric, soft cotton, silk, duchess satin, chiffon, linen, georgette, crepe, damask, etc. Make sure the dresses fit well for girls and are totally carefree for guys.
