Opting for a casual beach wedding dress establishes the ambiance for your special day: relaxed and effortlessly chic. It’s about capturing the essence of your unique celebration, where the dress becomes more than attire—it becomes a reflection of the laid-back elegance and beauty that defines your beach or destination wedding experience.

FAQ

What is the best colour to wear to a beach wedding?

Selecting the perfect colour for a beach wedding involves embracing the natural surroundings. Opt for light, breezy hues like pastels, blues, greens, or soft corals. These colours complement the beach setting, exuding a fresh and elegant vibe. Avoid heavy fabrics and dark tones, and let the coastal backdrop inspire your attire.

What shoes should a bride wear on the beach?

For a beach wedding, brides often opt for sandals, espadrilles, or barefoot styles to embrace the casual and relaxed setting. Sand-friendly footwear, like embellished flip-flops or bohemian lace-up sandals, complements the beach aesthetic while ensuring comfort on the sand.

What type of dress should the mother of the bride wear to a beach wedding?

The mother of the bride should choose a dress that reflects the beach wedding’s casual elegance. Flowy maxi dresses, tea-length dresses, or elegant sundresses in light, breathable fabrics work well. Soft pastels, floral prints, or beach-inspired colours complement the seaside setting, ensuring the mother of the bride looks chic and comfortable.

What do guests wear to a beach wedding?

Guests attending a beach wedding should opt for light, breathable fabrics in beach-friendly colours like pastels or tropical hues. Informal doesn’t equate to untidy, consider a printed sundress, a flowing chiffon maxi dress, or a relaxed romper or jumpsuit. Even in laid-back settings, men can elevate their look with a collared shirt—a button-down without a tie or a short-sleeve polo shirt strikes the ideal balance.

Are beach weddings formal?

Beach weddings often lean towards a more relaxed and informal atmosphere. While some may opt for casual elegance, the overall vibe is typically laid-back. Lightweight fabrics and breezy attire are favoured, allowing couples and guests to enjoy the seaside celebration with a sense of comfort and ease.
