Summer Beach Wedding Dress
Beach weddings are gaining more popularity each year. Summer time is one of the most awaited wedding times of the year. With the soft and gentle sand on your feet, the serenity of the waves meeting the shore, the sound of the seagulls, and the marvelous view of the sun setting over the beach, what could be more intimate and romantic than a summer time beach wedding?
And since you will be celebrating your big day on the beach, you may want to take into consideration your wedding wardrobe. The salt water, wind, and sand will surely be incompatible with an elaborate designer wedding dress.
Formally Informal
Beach weddings have an air of informality and so should your dress. Reconsider heavy wedding gowns with long trains and veils. Not only will it be uncomfortable, the wind might destroy the clothes as well.
Summer is season for short, spaghetti stringed tops, and light fabrics. However, your wedding dress does not have to be very informal. Tea-length gowns and hi-lo skirts are perfect for a blushing bride. However, short styles are not the only way to go in your special day. Fish tails or mermaid silhouettes and body-accentuating garments are also perfect for a formal feel.
It is important to feel casually comfortable while maintaining your elegance and feminity. The bandeau and off-shoulder styles will help you achieve elegance while remaining casual.
Pair a strapless princess bodice with a skirt of satin or lace, preferably tea-length. Or better yet, pairing it off with a georgette (without overwhelming layers) will surely hit sophistication.
If you really wanted a train in your gown, a duster train extending to a foot from the hem of your gown would be advisable. A medium chapel train (3 to 4 feet from your waist) maybe used in contrast to the lengthy cathedral train. Consider detachable trains as well for your convenience.
Designs such as the strapless top, halter, and sleeveless wedding dresses are not only appropriate for a beach wedding but will prove to help cool down the bride.
Don Colors of Summer
Incorporating summer colors into your wedding dress will be a great way to spice and modernize your look. Accentuate your dress with fresh flowers or floral prints. Pale pink, lilac, and ivory are also okay if you do not like flashy colors on your wedding gown.
Hand painted fabrics or beaded embroidery will add an enchanting and summer feel to your dress. Go with a bow at the center of the lower back of your dress to make it more elegant.
Choose fabrics that do not enhance the heat of summer. It is imperative that sweating should be placed to a minimum. Comfort is the keyword to a perfect summer beach wedding dress. Decide on the dress that will keep you at ease for the entire wedding celebration without sacrificing your style and taste.
Barefoot Bliss
The beach wedding attire would do best without your satin high heeled pumps and shoes. Flat shoes or going barefoot are your best bet for a beach wedding. Elegant flip lops, strap sandals, or beach sandals are other available options as there are chances to go barefoot.
Complete the summer wedded bliss with your hair down and fresh flowers as a head dress. The bride will experience the casualness and relaxing atmosphere of a beach wedding with compromising the beauty, extraordinary special feeling, and sexiness she should feel.
