More people are choosing to have beach weddings than ever before. Destination weddings are more casual and romantic than a traditional church wedding. The bride and her female guests don’t need to carry a lot of weight. What should you wear to a beach-side wedding? Here are some tips to help you choose the right bridal gown as well as the perfect beach wedding dress for your female guests.

Tips for Bridal Showers

  1. Pick a simple style dress. There are more beach-friendly dresses in bridal shops. Lightweight fabrics such as silk, georgette and polyester will allow your gown to move with the elements.
  2. Find out the temperature at your location. Find out the temperature on your wedding day. The beach can become cold at sunset. You should bring a wrap or shawl in case it gets cold.
  3. You should ensure that your shoes are comfortable. Avoid stilettos, as they can make it difficult to walk on the sand. When choosing shoes for your beach wedding, comfort is key. Local bridal shops have many beautiful and comfortable flip-flops for brides. Choose your favourite. Walking barefoot is another option if the sand temperature isn’t too hot.
  4. A professional hairstylist is recommended. Pro’s are needed to create a style that suits the beach conditions for an outdoor wedding. A natural hairstyle is best as it suits the wedding theme. To add a tropical touch to your look, you can style your hair in an updo with tropical flowers.
  5. Adorn yourself. A wedding veil should be overshadowed with fresh flowers for a beach wedding.
  6. Ideas from the seaside. Instead of carrying a bouquet, you might consider wearing a seashell necklace. A bunch of tropical flowers is the best choice if you insist on carrying flowers.
  7. Flip-flops are a great option to make your guests feel comfortable.
