Beach Wedding Dresses: Which Colors Would Work Best..?

White is the most appealing and popular colour for beach wedding dresses by far.

The white wedding gown, whether it's for a beach or church wedding looks striking, (especially if you have a tan) and your dress sparkles.

The beach is associated with light and breezy clothes that are colorful. Be adventurous try colors like lime, yellow, light green or light blue.

Accessories

Beach wedding dresses accessories should reflect the style of the dress. A veil maybe a nice addition to the dress but it really isn't that practical.

A crown of woven flowers with beads is a lovely option for your beach wedding head wear.

You may like to wear your hair long and natural with flowers or a flower headband or you may want to wear a wide brimmed hat to complete the beach look.

A casual beach wedding hairstyle works best. If the day is windy, your hair will look beautifully natural and 'tousled' as opposed to looking 'messed up'.

Remember, the idea of a beach wedding is being free of the traditional. Wear sandals or go barefoot instead. Many brides go barefoot or with just a simple ballet type slipper.

A pair of white and pearl studded flip flops or simple white strappy sandals works well too.

If you plan for a casual or informal wedding on the beach, then anything that will be easy to walk in with comfort will be ideal.

On the beach - What to wear

If your ceremony is held on a tropical island, sandy beach or private beach, you can go for a really relaxed, casual look like something simple and lightweight.

Whether just a bikini top with a sarong, strapless dress, halter, one-shoulder dress, loose fitting clothes or trousers with a floaty top - consider the beach heat and dress for that.

Beach wedding dresses can be very casual so you don't really even need a veil. A very lightweight shawl draped over your arms can also be a subtle substitute for a veil. This would also be very helpful if later on a cool breeze comes up, you already have a shawl wrap to keep the cold off.

Ideal cuts to go for in the dress are sleeveless, tube top, strapless, and off-the-shoulder since these give the ultimate comfort.

You can even have a strapless gown and just twist a band of translucent lace around your shoulders, tied at the back, for a softening of the decolletage, and hiding your upper arms if you want the comfort of sleeveless, but with a wisp of lace to help conceal any flaws..

Whatever the case, you'll need to think about where you'll be saying "I Do" and what would be best to wear.

If you decide that the wedding is very informal that will make it important to wear something comfortable and casual.
