Dreaming of exchanging seaside vows with the ocean as your backdrop? Whether it's a grand destination wedding, an intimate elopement wedding, or a classic beach wedding, choosing the right attire is crucial. After all, you want to look and feel your best during those precious beachfront ceremonies and capture stunning moments for your wedding photography. At Tides of Love Beach Weddings we say there are no rules but we do have some practical pointers here below!
For brides, think flowy, lightweight fabrics. Think chiffon, lace, or even a breezy linen blend. A shorter dress or a high-low hemline can be both practical and stylish, preventing sand from clinging to the bottom of your dress or to your train. Consider a dress with minimal embellishments; the natural beauty of the beach will be your main decoration. Barefoot sandals or elegant flats or sandals are ideal, as heels will likely sink into the sand.
Grooms, opt for light-colored suits or linen trousers paired with a crisp shirt. A jacket is optional, depending on the formality and temperature. Ditch the socks and consider loafers or sandals for a relaxed yet polished look.
For guests attending your coastal nuptials, the key is comfort and style. Ladies can choose flowy sundresses, jumpsuits, or skirts paired with elegant tops. Gentlemen can opt for linen shirts and trousers, or smart casual shorts with a button-down shirt. Remember, the beach can be breezy, so a light shawl or cardigan is a good idea.
When planning your attire, consider the time of day. Sunset ceremonies, for instance, may require a slightly warmer layer. Also, remember that beach weddings often involve bright sunlight, so sunglasses and sunscreen are essential for both comfort and your wedding photography.
Ultimately, your wedding attire should reflect your personal style and the relaxed atmosphere of your beach celebration. Embrace the natural beauty of your surroundings and choose pieces that allow you to move freely and enjoy every moment of your special day.
