What to Wear to a Beach Wedding

Published March 23, 2017

Everyone loves destination weddings, but the one question that is on everyone's mind is what to wear to a beach wedding? While beach weddings are often more relaxed than traditional, formal ceremonies, they still require a level of sophistication and attention to detail.

The Golden Rules of Beach Attire:

• Choose Breathable Fabrics: Stick to linen, cotton, or light silk to stay cool in the sun.
• Footwear Matters: Sand and stilettos do not mix. Opt for wedges, block heels, or even elegant dressy sandals.
• Color Palette: Embrace light, airy, and bright colors. Florals, pastels, and soft whites (if appropriate for the bridal party) are perfect.
• Mind the Wind: Flowy fabrics are beautiful, but make sure your outfit is structured enough that a sudden breeze won't cause a wardrobe malfunction.

Don't be afraid to dress up! Just because it's on the beach doesn't mean you can't wear a beautiful maxi dress or a light-colored suit. The key is in the comfort—choose pieces that allow you to move and enjoy the stunning seaside scenery.
