Step by step, wedding feasts with accordion songs and cheerful dances are becoming a thing of the past. A modern wedding is a celebration of the love of two people. This is easy, relaxed communication with friends and family. And where, if not on the seashore or ocean, to spend this holiday. Having decided on a non-standard wedding format at sea, special attention is paid to choosing the bride’s outfit. When buying beach wedding dresses, you should study the intricacies of such models in advance. This is the only way to choose the perfect image of the bride.
What to pay attention to
When choosing wedding dresses for a beach ceremony, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
- the outfit for a beach wedding ceremony is distinguished by a minimum of decorative ornaments, the absence of fluffy skirts and petticoats, and corsets;
- The fabric for the dress must be breathable. Otherwise, the bride runs the risk of getting heatstroke.
When choosing the image of the bride, do not forget about her age. A young, active girl would be well suited to a light, open dress that emphasizes her ideal shape. Brides over forty are better off choosing more restrained looks with an emphasis on elegance.
The type of figure also determines the choice of the bride's outfit. Plump girls with curvy figures will appreciate dresses in the empire style with a high waist and transparent sleeves. Models with a high bodice visually lengthen the figure of not very tall brides. There are no barriers for those with ideal shapes.
The length of the dress is determined at the request of the bride. Those with slender legs can safely choose models with a short skirt or translucent bottom. When buying a dress, always remember that the celebration is taking place on the beach. A length a few centimeters above the ankle will help avoid the problem of wet sand and sharp shells that can damage the outfit. A short dress can be worn after the celebration, at parties and other occasions. Color scheme of the image: white, ivory, light mint, turquoise or azure shades.
Colors and fabrics
The ideal choice for a dress on the seashore is light and flowing, weightless and airy fabrics.
You should not choose brocade and taffeta, traditional for classic wedding decorations. Better stop at silk, chiffon, cotton. Lace wedding dresses are relevant in any season and at any themed wedding. When choosing a light fabric, pay attention to how it holds its shape, whether it wrinkles a lot, and whether it will turn into a shapeless robe due to humid air.
As for the color of the decoration, white is a classic. But in such a bright and colorful beach setting, any color scheme would be appropriate: turquoise, greens, pink shades, pastels. You can use bright and saturated colors, but it is better to avoid poisonous ones on this day. You can also choose other shades - sea green.
If you prefer pastel colors, then it is better to decorate an outfit of a delicate and muted shade with bright flowers or other decor. Fabrics with prints, patterns of tropical flowers and anything related to the sea will suit the beach theme. You can also use lace, ribbons, feathers, and hats.
Suitable materials
When choosing a wedding dress for a beach ceremony, special attention should be paid to the fabric. Light, weightless, airy - the main characteristics of materials for the perfect wedding dress.
Take a closer look at light, flowing materials (such as the finest chiffon). Crepe de Chine, crepe georgette or gauze will turn the bride into a light, weightless cloud of happiness.
The ideal image of the bride will be complemented by elements made of organza or the finest lace.
Natural thin fabrics (cotton or linen) are ideal for a boho-style beach wedding look. In this look, the bride looks especially stylish and bohemian. When choosing beach wedding dresses, avoid heavy fabrics that restrict movement. Nothing should disturb the amazing atmosphere of a romantic beach wedding.
Popular styles
The ideal look combines the right clothes, shoes and jewelry. But special attention is paid to the style of the outfit.
The most current styles of wedding beach dresses:
- The Greek Empire style is a prototype of ancient attire. Floor-length, with one half-naked shoulder, such dresses add mystery and sophistication to the bride’s image.
- Boho (bohemian chic) style is ideal for a beach ceremony. Light, simple and at the same time stylish images create a special atmosphere of a wedding celebration.
- Rustic style combines natural lightness, naturalness and simplicity of materials and accessories. Bouquets and wreaths of wild flowers and lace elements successfully complement the rustic style.
- The gentle empire style will make a princess out of any girl. An airy, sophisticated dress with a fitted cut, with a fluffy floor-length skirt, is a good option for those who cannot navigate the choice of dress.
- The fish silhouette perfectly emphasizes the nautical style. Beach wedding attire follows the graceful lines of the hips and waist. A shortened version is a dress with a year-length skirt shortened in front.
Such models are decorated with sequins and rhinestones, which shimmer in the sun and perfectly emphasize the holiday mood.
Features and nuances
Content
A convenient decoration option for a nautical wedding lies in its simplicity. Simple style, natural light and comfortable fabrics, appropriate shoes.
Shiny wedding dresses made of heavy fabrics will be inappropriate for a wedding on the seashore. Like a long train, a tapered maxi, a corset, a huge fluffy veil.
Matching Accessories
The finishing touch to any look is accessories and shoes. When choosing a dress for a wedding on the beach, remember: it is best to combine it with the same light, airy decorations in a marine style. You shouldn’t dilute the bride’s beach look with heavy, massive accessories made of gold and precious stones.
Naturally and harmoniously, elegant jewelry with pearls, turquoise, fresh flowers and shells will complement the image. A belt embroidered with sequins (similar to a mermaid belt) will add zest and highlight the bride's style.
Small diamond stones on a thin, transparent thread-fishing line look especially stylish and elegant. Such decorations, like sea drops, will frame the bride’s neck. Wedding dresses for a beach ceremony are ideally combined with light, open shoes. Particularly brave young girls can do without shoes altogether, covering their bare feet with the hem of their wedding dress.
Never wear classic high-heeled shoes under a beach wedding dress. Firstly, in such shoes the bride will constantly get stuck in the sand, and secondly, constantly shaking sand out of closed shoes can ruin any holiday. The ideal option for a beach bride's look is flat sandals with an openwork, possibly lace top. A traditional veil in a beach bride's look can be replaced by a light lace shawl or stole.
Transportation Tips
It's hard to find a bride who won't swear an oath of eternal love on a sandy beach. The sound of the surf and a light breeze, the gentle sun - what could be more pleasant and romantic? When organizing a wedding on the seashore, you may encounter the problem of how to dress the bride’s dress so that it does not lose its attractive appearance.
Let's consider several options:
- Purchase locally. It's no secret that every reputable wedding salon has its own website. Having carefully studied the issue of buying a dress, it is not difficult to find a company that provides delivery services all over the world. The cost of the dress will not differ much. But even a small difference will more than pay for the bride’s worries that her wedding dress will be damaged on the road.
You can order not only a dress, but also other related wedding products to the venue of the celebration.
- We transport it ourselves. Having decided not to postpone the purchase until the last few days, having chosen the ideal image, it is important to decide how the outfit can be transported to the place of the special event. The dress must be prepared in advance. The sleeves are rolled up to the back and folded in half along the waistline. The skirt is folded several times and carefully laid out on the bodice. The wedding dress is folded very carefully, avoiding creases. It is good to prepare a large suitcase for these purposes. It is good to place thin tissue paper between the fabric of the dress and decorative decorations (beads, sequins, embroidery). Before putting the dress in your suitcase, wrap it additionally in thin, unbleached linen.
- If the bride travels to the wedding venue by car, the outfit can be placed in a special case and hung in the car or laid out in the back seat.
- We send by mail. Short wedding dresses and light airy sundresses can be easily delivered to the right place by mail. For shipping, it is convenient to use special plastic containers that ensure the safety of the goods in transit.
Calculate the delivery time of the package several days before the date of the celebration. This way you can avoid force majeure situations of shipment delay. Finding the perfect dress for a beach ceremony is not difficult. The main thing is to feel yourself and listen to the recommendations of specialists.
Where to have a wedding on the islands for two?
Some people dream of painting in the registry office and a cheerful feast with a huge number of guests, while others dream of an intimate celebration with family and friends.

Dominican Republic
By choosing the Caribbean islands for your wedding, in particular the Dominican Republic, you will not regret it one bit. Why?

Secondly, visa-free entry for 30 days allows you not only to have a wedding in the Dominican Republic, but also to enjoy all the beauties of the paradise island during your honeymoon.
However, it should be noted that a wedding in the Dominican Republic will cost you a pretty penny, since the flight for you and your relatives will significantly hit the budget. But there is also a plus - a marriage concluded on this island is considered valid in Russia.
Seychelles
If you want to have a wedding against the backdrop of exotic landscapes and turquoise waters, then you should choose the Seychelles - islands that are created for an unforgettable marriage registration. But in order to avoid getting sunstroke, you should not choose the hottest days of July. This month the sun is most active in the Seychelles.

Cyprus
Organizing a wedding on the island of Cyprus has many advantages. The flight will cost you much less than to the Maldives or Seychelles, and the beautiful rocky landscapes will look no worse. The nature in Cyprus is so unique that the wedding ceremony will be unique at any time of the year. If you got married in Cyprus, then in Russia it will be valid if notarized in Russian.
Maldives
The Maldives offers excellent service, a warm climate, the Indian Ocean and a sea of positive impressions. And sandy landscapes are perfect for registering a marriage against the backdrop of the ocean. A wedding at sea was in every girl’s dreams, and each of them would like to make it come true. Therefore, if your choice fell on this island, then we guarantee that you will remember your wedding in the Maldives for the rest of your life. But, alas, only symbolic painting can be done there, since in Russia such a marriage will be considered invalid.
Mauritius
If you want to have your dream wedding on the ocean, which will smoothly transition into a honeymoon, then the island of Mauritius is perfect for you. It is here that you will find picturesque landscapes, a beautiful ocean, developed infrastructure and hospitable staff. Another plus is the fact that hotels on the island of Mauritius often provide discounts for newlyweds from 30 to 60% on accommodation, spa treatments, etc.
On this island, newlyweds from the CIS are allowed to hold an official wedding ceremony, i.e. a marriage entered into in Mauritius will be considered valid in the home country.
Canary Islands
A wedding in the Canary Islands can only be symbolic; the relationship will have to be legally legitimized in your hometown. But it's worth it, because these picturesque islands will remain in your heart forever!
