We love a beach wedding! Who hasn’t dreamed of attending a wedding with the sea, sand, and a beautiful sunset as witnesses? So, if a friend, family member, acquaintance, or colleague has decided to celebrate their union with this backdrop, and you don’t know how to dress… you’ve come to the right place.
The truth is that it can be quite warm at a beach wedding, and what we want is to wear short, fresh, and lightweight dresses. But if we’re going to attend a wedding, it’s ideal and advisable to find an outfit that matches the occasion.
So, if you have a beach wedding coming up soon, don’t miss these 11 tips to attend and succeed.
They will be extremely useful to you!
1. Cool and lightweight fabrics
Regardless of the model you choose, we recommend avoiding synthetic fabrics that don’t let your skin breathe under the sun. For this type of event, it’s better to choose natural fabrics such as cotton or linen, which will give you a greater feeling of freshness. You can play with the sea breeze with soft fabrics to get perfect movement and innocence for the summer. Party dresses with airy and lightweight fabrics will help you create beach wedding outfits with a lot of movement every time the breeze blows or when you dance during the party.
2. All about color!
A beach wedding means color, color, and more color. No pale dresses, and everything is allowed near the sea, always within some style limits. The only prohibition is white, of course, unless you know that the protagonist of the day has chosen a colorful wedding dress. All colors will be perfect! Although it’s better to avoid darker tones as they can be too sophisticated for this type of celebration.
3. Leave black behind
Yes, black is forbidden, even if the wedding is at night. Black is not very well seen on the beach, since this color absorbs heat, and it’s time to take advantage of wearing colorful and airy dresses, not dark colors.
4. Be careful with white!
As mentioned earlier, white is still forbidden, even if the wedding is during the day, this is the main etiquette rule for attending a wedding. If you wear white, let it be with a print. (Unless the wedding protocol is Ibiza style, and the bride and groom dictate that the dress code is that everyone wears white).
5. Plain, but above all printed
Floral prints will be more than welcome, and if the wedding is hippie style, we won’t even tell you! For this, you must make sure how the decorations and theme of the celebration will be, since if you combine your outfit with the decor chosen by the bride and groom, you will have a winning choice.
6. Short and long
At a beach wedding, you can wear everything from a short dress, even above the knee, to long dresses, as long as they are made of soft and lightweight fabrics. If the wedding is in the morning, don’t overdo the formality, so it’s better to choose short and simple models, perhaps with a skirt with a flight or tulle. Another idea is to opt for wide pants, palazzo style, which are in full fashion this year and combine them with a chic top.
7. Always formal!
Even if the wedding is during the day or at night, it’s not acceptable to wear the same dresses you wear over your bikini to attend a wedding. Look for colorful and airy dresses, but ones that still follow a formal style and are appropriate for an event like a wedding. Now you know, don’t break this etiquette rule to attend a beach wedding.
8. Chic accessories
To complete the perfect outfit for a beach wedding, don’t forget to choose the right accessories: you can wear a beautiful flower in your hair or a simple sun hat to protect yourself from the sun, as well as a shawl or scarf in case the sea breeze gets chilly.
9. Comfortable shoes
Will the ceremony take place on the sand? Will there be stairs or rocks? How comfortable do you feel walking in heels? To feel more secure, we recommend choosing sandals with a wide heel and ankle strap. Always choose stable shoes that give you the necessary comfort to withstand the entire day. Although our style advice is to wear flat sandals!
10. Natural makeup
If you are going to spend the day under the sun and in front of the sea, we recommend choosing a natural makeup look that leaves your skin ultra hydrated and can withstand several hours of sea breeze and sun. A makeup look in nude or golden tones with bold lips is perfect for a daytime look. Don’t forget to keep a small sunscreen in your purse to protect your skin from UV rays. There are some in a makeup powder format, perfect for touch-ups.
11. Humidity-proof hairstyle
As for the hairstyle, it will all depend on your hair type and cut. If you have hair that becomes frizzy with humidity, the best thing you can do is not to fight it. Let it loose! You can use accessories like headbands to keep it in place and apply a serum beforehand to keep it very hydrated. If your hair is fine and tends to get tangled easily, you can choose a tight updo that will prevent your hair from frizzing and suffering the consequences of the sea breeze.
Now you surely know how to enjoy a beach wedding to the fullest and hit the mark with your guest look! You have seen that there are thousands of possibilities offered by this type of celebration.
