Beach casual wedding dress
There are a large number of legends that are associated with the emergence of the tradition of holding a wedding on the beach, but one thing they all have in common is the incredible atmosphere of nature, the beauty of the landscapes and lightness.
From Hawaii and the coast of mainland America, the popularity of beach ceremonies has reached our latitudes. And if you nevertheless decide to arrange just such a holiday for yourself, then it is worth remembering some of the features of such an event.
The history of coastal weddings
Historically, it is believed that traditionally the wedding on the coast was organized by those couples in which the bride and groom with different national roots. The young held in their hands bags of sand, which was brought from their countries, and after the wedding ceremony, the contents of the bags were mixed, thereby emphasizing that there would be a unification of cultures in their family. They say that there was another tradition, according to which young people held shells in their hands, and then put them in a glass vase, showing everyone that now they are inseparable.
But the idea of such weddings was brought to Europe by those who loved naturalness and naturalness in everything - hippies. They borrowed it from the island peoples, taking over some of their traditions.
Peculiarities
For a beach dress, it is better to choose a simple cut and lightweight fabrics. Indeed, it is important that the dress helps the bride feel more confident and does not create additional discomfort.
Dresses that are heavy and abundant in an incredible amount of rhinestones will not always be able to fit into the situation. The best choice for a beach wedding dress is natural fabrics that allow the skin to breathe.
However, the lightness of the fabric should not negatively affect the style of the dress: the fabric should still keep its shape. For example, chiffon perfectly meets all these requirements: it is a light and cool fabric from which dresses unusual in style are created, in which it is absolutely not hot. Fine lace, gauze or crepe de Chine are also perfect for the occasion.
Another feature of the beach wedding dress is that the train is useless here. After all, he can get wet, get dirty in the sand, thereby spoiling the image of the bride. And, having become heavier, it will become an unbearable burden for her.
It is better to choose a free style of dress, which will not shackle the girl.

Wedding abroad
If the newlyweds want to hold a wedding outside their country. Here, too, a number of peculiarities arise. The first and, perhaps, one of the most important is the venue. There are also favorites here: Greece, Italy, USA (islands), Sri Lanka and Thailand are considered the most attractive for weddings among foreign countries. In all these countries, a wedding on the beach will be an excellent solution and will sparkle with unusual colorful colors.
If Paris is considered the most romantic city, then Greek Santorini is rightfully considered the most romantic islands. The incredible landscapes of these places seem to be specially created in order to be captured in the best wedding photos. The ideal option for the bride's outfit is a short lace dress.
Hawaii is perhaps the dream destination for weddings. The sea, the sun and a huge number of flowers ... A short dress is also suitable here, but a top with a high-rise skirt will also be interesting to look in this area - this is summer-like, extraordinary and bright.
If the soul longs for something unusual and choosing only the beach as a wedding venue seems too easy for an extravagant couple, then ordering a themed wedding ceremony would be the ideal option. For such a flavor, it is worth going to the countries of Southeast Asia: national traditions, a beach, an extraordinary approach will make the wedding unforgettable. Here, the choice of a young person's outfit depends more on the traditions of a particular country.
Transportation of the dress abroad
After you have chosen your favorite country, it’s time to choose a dress. If the style is more a matter of taste, then you shouldn't forget about the practical side of this choice either. The first "obstacle" that stands in the way of those who will celebrate a wedding abroad is the transportation of the dress.
In order for the outfit to successfully survive the journey, the material must be:
- easy to clean;
- convenient for steaming and ironing;
- it is better if the material does not wrinkle at all, for example taffeta, which always retains its shape.
The cover in which it travels can save you from unwanted problems with the dress. Therefore, it should be with a fastener, waterproof and tight.
In the same style
In order for a couple to look harmonious anywhere, their costumes must be in the same style. The first thing that the bride and groom must observe when choosing suits is the uniform severity of the sets. A couple in which young woman for beach wedding chose a light short dress with flowers, a groom dressed in ptailored and formal suit... Summer trousers and a shirt with a bow tie are better suited for the groom.
Color solution
The traditional color of weddings is, as before, white. However, on the beach, you can move away from rigor not only in the choice of style, but also in the color scheme. Due to the incredible riot of shades in the environment, the bride will look advantageous both in turquoise and soft green, as well as in pink, peach, blue and other bright, but not “poisonous” colors. You can complement the traditional snow-white dress with multi-colored ribbons, bright fresh flowers.
Hairstyle
A high hairdo, decorated with a huge amount of sequins, will be irrelevant on the beach. Wind and humidity will spoil it in a moment. Here it is better to choose hairstyles that will emphasize the naturalness of the bride. A simple solution is to leave your hair loose and decorate it with ribbons or flowers. A great option is a simple bun with interesting hair accessories.
Accessories
The traditional decoration of the bride is a veil, but on the beach it does not always look good. At the same time, leaving the bride without jewelry is also completely wrong. The veil can be replaced with an ethnic headband, comb or headband with or without flowers. Hands can be decorated with bracelets in the national style. On the beach, you can decorate your legs with thin special bracelets.
What to wear?
It is clear that high-heeled shoes are not the most suitable option, because there is sand around. And flip flops do not create a festive atmosphere. In this case, flat sandals will perfectly fit into the theme of the celebration. If the bride feels completely natural, then she can do without shoes altogether. The same applies to the groom.
Thus, a beach wedding has many nuances, but studying and solving them will give you the opportunity to have an unforgettable wedding on the beach.
Lightness, comfort and airiness are the factors that I will take into account when choosing such a dress. After all, I don't want to sweat and get confused in a dress all evening))) I liked the dress in the last photo. But, perhaps, I will choose a shorter length.
