A growing trend among many brides and grooms is the beach style wedding. Most couples opt to have their beach wedding actually at a local beach or at a romantic location somewhere else on the globe. If this is the type of wedding that suits your fancy, you’ll probably be looking for a beach wedding dress soon. More traditional wedding dresses aren’t really suited for the beach and all the sand and obviously don’t fit the mood and theme of the wedding.
One of the benefits of a beach style wedding is the easy planning and lack of major expense. Unless you’re having your beach wedding at a private resort, you can usually quite easily be married on a public beach and not have to worry about paying a rental fee for the location. Another benefit to a beach wedding is the fact that a beach wedding dress will cost thousands of dollars less than a traditional style wedding gown. Yes, you read it right. A beach style wedding dress can easily be found for under $300 and some of them even cost less than $75. If you’re thinking that this type of beach wedding dress looks cheap because of the price, think again. A beach wedding dress can be absolutely gorgeous, not to mention sexy.
Depending on what you prefer, you can easily find a beach style wedding dress in a variety of styles, colors and fabrics. If you’re looking for something sweet, feminine and romantic, look for loose fitting dresses constructed of lace and accessorized with a stole or shawl or maybe even a parasol. Mermaid dresses are always popular and appropriate for a beach wedding and lend just a hint of sensuality on your big day. Of course, if you’re getting married in a private ceremony and really want to surprise your honey go for something a bit more risqué with a midriff baring triangle scarf top or even a bandeau top. If you’re unfamiliar with a bust wrap or bandeau top, it looks a lot like a strapless bikini top. Pair it with a sarong style skirt that rides just at the navel and you have an incredibly sensual and sexy beach wedding dress. Accessorize with some beach themed jewelry such as coral and you’ll be radiant as you walk down the ‘aisle’ to meet your intended at the water’s edge to exchange vows.
You can usually find your beach wedding dress in all colors of the rainbow. Of course, white and ivory are always popular but you can also find many styles that feature gowns down in white or ivory along with a trim in an exciting color like aqua or coral.
If you’re planning to have a destination wedding you can either shop for your beach wedding dress before you leave for your romantic wedding or you can take care of this detail when you arrive. Be sure to ask your wedding planner for recommendations on where to shop for a beach wedding dress.
