Brides Often Ask
What is the best material for a beach wedding dress?
Aside from the look, you desire, the 2 most important things when planning wedding dresses for destination weddings on the beach are comfort and manageability. You will want a fabric that doesn’t soak in the heat. You will also want fabrics that play with the wind a little, but don’t get wrapped up around you. Look for lightweight fabrics such as crepe chiffon skirts, lightweight tulle, and delicate lace.
What to wear under a beach wedding dress?
In short, as little as possible. If you feel that shapewear is required, there are plenty of lightweight options that breathe well. When possible, replace your bra with sewn-in cups. Also, beach weddings are an inviting opportunity to ditch those warm shoes.
