Informal Beach Wedding Dress
By K Lincoln
When planning a beach wedding, choosing an informal beach wedding dress can be harder than you were planning if you think a bridal store is the only place to shop. Gowns that are heavy with intricate beading and long trains would be difficult to pull off with sand brushing your hemline and they typically are not the informal look you are trying to achieve. Knowing the style and fabric you would like for your informal beach wedding dress is the first place to start when creating your look.
Simple Dresses
Choosing a style to match your beach venue is important when selecting an informal beach wedding dress. Many brides choose a simple sheath or slip dress that can be strapless or designed with spaghetti straps. The hemlines of these informal beach wedding dresses also vary and can be a hemline that is cut anywhere from mid-thigh to just above your ankles. These dresses are usually made of lightweight silk fabrics. While the style is informal, it might not be for every bride.
An informal beach wedding dress style with a fit that is more figure forgiving is a sundress. A wide selection of comfortable cuts with full and flowing skirts or straight cuts can be readily found. A sundress can also often be found with spaghetti straps, or a criss-cross design over your back. A halter style top is also an option. Lightweight cotton fabrics are usually the most common choices for a sundress and can have simple textures or embroidered designs.
A Dress Out of the Ordinary
The relaxed beach setting of your wedding ceremony can allow for some creativity when selecting an informal beach wedding dress. You could consider a dress made from a swim suit and a sarong. Many swim suits are created with fabric choices that are beautiful and simple. Your guests may never even realize you are wearing a swimsuit. Choosing a tank or halter styled top and a sarong made from linen fabrics can be a perfect option for an informal beach wedding dress.
Beautiful and Simple Accessories
Many brides think skipping shoes for their wedding will be a perfect complement to their informal style. However, when they find out how truly hot the sand can be if you are standing still for a ceremony, they will wish for a pair of sandals or casual flip flops which will provide comfort while only enhancing your informal style. When selecting jewelry for your informal beach wedding dress, consider handmade jewelry created from shells or even glass. If you choose an informal beach wedding dress with a wide neckline, selecting a necklace with an intricate charm or glass piece could complete your look. Freshwater pearls are also a great choice for a necklace or bracelet. An informal beach wedding dress can be a creative way to show your style. You might be looking in untraditional places for your dress such as a swimsuit store rather than a pricey bridal salon, but you can still have a traditional and informal look with a silky sheath dress.
