5 Tips:
- Get The Feel For Your Dress - First, try and get a nice idea of
what you want in your head. This is fun, so go with it. Close your eyes
and think about your wedding day. Think about the light breeze lifting
your hair, smell the ocean and feel the love and joy of the day. Now
think of your wedding dress. What would compliment this whole scene?
Think of some descriptive words - ethereal, floaty, light, sexy,
backless, breathtaking, airy, flouncy, modern, romantic. Make notes of
these attributes.
- Body Beautiful Fit - Next decide on the most flattering style
for your body shape. Some styles are better suited to different body
types. After all, you want to feel beautiful on your wedding day, and
you have to embrace your flaws, try to minimize them and try to make the
most of your best features. This will ensure that all eyes are on you
on your special day. For some inspiration,

- Choose the Formality - Once you have narrowed down the style you
would like, decide on how formal you want to have your dress. Beach
wedding dresses generally tend to be more informal than formal, but you
do have some scope, depending on the rest of your wedding theme and
decor. You can also make a plain white sundress into something a little
more formal by using a luxurious fabric or adding some beading or
sequins. And you can tone down a more formal cut like a

by having it made in a less formal fabric like a cotton or linen. The choice is yours.
- Choose the Fabric - Now that you have your "feel" of your
dress, your style and the formality of the dress, choose the right
fabric. As mentioned above, you can choose to contrast your more formal
style with an informal fabric, or jazz up an informal cut with a more
elaborate fabric. If you are looking for some typical fabric for beach
wedding dresses, then think floaty fabrics like organza, tulle,
charmeuse, crepe and chiffon. Even raw silk and lace can be used to
create lovely dresses for a seaside wedding.
- Consider Convenience and Practicality - If you are having a
destination beach wedding then this is an important factor to take into
consideration. Choose a style and a fabric that can be transported
easily without creasing too much.
You also might want to consider a
smaller dress (less fabric) that you can fold and carry with you as your
carry on luggage - just in case your check in luggage gets lost or
misplaced.
Also think about a hot day on the beach, sand, water,
possible wind... choose a dress that will be cool, that will look great
when there is a strong breeze and that you can scoop up easily as you
walk along the sand.
