Choosing your beach wedding attire
Deciding on your beach wedding attire is one of the most exciting parts of planning your barefoot wedding! Your Beach Wedding Gown:
Probably every brides' most exciting (and stressful) part of the whole planning process - what to wear!Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your beach wedding gown: 1. A heavy bridal gown does not work well with sun, sea and sand. Think light and airy with simple summery fabrics like cotton, linen, chiffon tulle and crepe. 2. Crisp white is a classic option and works well for the beach, but don't discredit a cream or even a floral print. 3. A dress inspired by a bikini or swimming costume would be very sexy. 4. And if you want to break away from tradition and do not want to wear a dress, a simple pant suit in a sheer fabric (with a coloured bikini or costume beneath) is a very different option. 5. If you are planning a early spring or late autumn beach wedding, also consider that it might not be as warm as in midsummer. Consider a light shawl in either white or in one of your wedding colours for just in case.

Beach wedding attire for the bridesmaids:Choosing beach wedding attire for your bridesmaids that they would be happy with can be a daunting task. Here are a few things to keep in mind:1. You may have a range of ages and personalities in your bridal party. Keep in mind that a dress your 20 year old sister would be in her element in will not neccesarily be the best choice for your 30 something best friend. 2. Your bridesmaids dress sizes are another consideration. If you have some smaller bridesmaids and some that are slightly fuller figured it could pose a problem if you envisioned them all in figure hugging satin dresses. If need be you could choose a different style for every bridesmaid that will complement her and keep the fabric the same. 3. Make sure that the style/s you decide apon will complement your own beach wedding gown and the colour scheme of the wedding. 4. Remember that your bridesmaids will have to keep these outfits (if you are not hiring them), so try and choose something they may want to wear again.

Beach Wedding Attire for the Groom & Groomsmen:Once you have chosen your wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses, give some thought to the beach wedding attire the men in the bridal party will wear. This will also vary greatly depending on your theme and formality.Also take into consideration what the groom will be most comfortable in, after all, the whole idea of a beach wedding is to break away from tradition, relax and have fun on this very important day. Usually outfitting the groom and groomsmen is not a very big challenge, and a beach wedding theme makes it even easier. As long as you steer clear of the penquin suit and your choice is in keeping with the formality of the wedding, you should be fine. Follow this link for some more information on choosing your

What about beach wedding shoes? If you think of a beach wedding you most often than not think of bare feet in the sand. But if you are a bit of a shoe addict (like me) you can always use an excuse to buy another pair of shoes!
Depending on the formality of your event and whether or not you will actually get married on the sand keep in mind that you will have to be comfortable in the shoes you choose as you will be wearing them for up to 8 hours. Follow this link for some ideas on beach wedding shoes.
