Flip Flops
Many decades back, the idea of holding a wedding at the beach seemed like crazy but today, beach weddings are some of the most popular wedding themes adored by a wide variety of couples for a number of good reasons. Whether you choose to hold this at a nearby beach or you plan to fly out to an exotic tropical paradise, one of the things you have to take care of for this wedding is the attire that you and your future spouse would be wearing for this day.
For the Bride
The casual but elegant look is very in. Full formal skirt, fluffy ruffles, complicated patterns and designs, and overly long trains are not a good idea for a relaxed setting like that of the beach. Instead, you will be delighted to wear a sleek slightly casual wedding dress made with flowing and soft fabric such as Carmeuse, light satin, chiffon, silk, cotton, and crepe. Strapless, halter, and spaghetti straps are ideal. Summer knee length dresses are also a good option. As for the colors, you can go for the traditional white, ivory, off-white or beige. If you are on the experimental side, lime, light green, light blue, yellow, and pink are some of the best choices.
For the Groom
The groom is probably ecstatic about the fact that he can skip the bow and tuxedo, since beach weddings usually call for something more laid back in terms of groom attire. Linen trousers, linen suits, cool white shirts, beige or khaki pants are just few of the many attire ideas that the groom can choose to wear for this big day. Some even wear knee-length shorts, which is okay just as long as the groom is comfortable wearing this. Those go as far as wearing a floral polo shirt, which is ideal if you are having a Hawaiian or tropical beach theme.

More Fabulous Ideas
- Flip-flops – The bride and groom do not have to wear formal shoes to this event. They can don fashionable and comfortable bridal flip-flops instead.
- Foot jewelry – They also have the option to go barefoot. The bride can walk down the aisle barefoot but her feet can be accentuated with a wonderful piece of foot jewelry.
- Fresh flowers for the hair ornaments – Skipping the veil is common for beach weddings. Brides wear fresh flowers on their hair instead. Another idea would be to don a wide brimmed hat that is just as fashionable and can protect the bride’s face from the sun’s scorching heat.
Some Tips Before you Go
- Shop online to save time and money.
- Make your own beach wedding jewelry from seashells and other beach treasures.
- Always consider the weather when buying your attire.
- Do not forget to pin down the bridal hat if you are going to wear one.
A beach wedding is a wedding that is like no other. It is the same thing with the attire. Having a beach wedding means you can be more playful, laid-back, and exciting with the pieces of attire that you and your spouse-to-be choose to wear for this momentous occasion.
