Wedding on the Beach – What to Wear? (Bride)

Planning a beach wedding has perks and presents challenges at the same time. One of the challenges is finding the perfect dress, considering the circumstances. When the Mrs. and I planned our ocean wedding, picking a wardrobe was a real….ok, fine, so we didn’t have to worry much about our wardrobe. What do you expect? We’re Poipu Beach seals after all! Still, having witnessed our fair share of beach weddings, let us provide a few tips that will hopefully make your dress hunt a little easier.

That strapless beauty you saw in the store may be just perfect. Planning a fall or winter wedding? Enjoy the beach just the same, but bring a shawl in case the temperature drops. Remember, while your ceremony is outside in the sun, you may be celebrating the rest of the day inside an air-conditioned restaurant or reception center. A light shawl is a safe go-to should you need something to keep you warm. Regardless, a beach wedding calls for a dress made of light material that can easily flow in the wind and will not drag you down as you walk down a sandy aisle.

The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is a clean dress. CaptureLastly, don’t wear heels. I repeat: DO NOT wear high heels. I don’t know how you humans manage those things in the first place! It seems intuitive, but you’d be surprised at how many brides attempt to brave the beach in stilettos or the like. Pick shoes that are comfortable and can manage the uneven terrain of a beach. Think: sandals. You can still get creative – look at these wedding flip flops! 1185477091_489Or, better yet, do as the seals do – go barefoot!
