Outfits for the wedding by the sea

The finest icing sugar sand under your feet, the gentle sound of waves in your ears, a balmy breeze in your hair: if that's not the perfect setting for a beach wedding! Many couples decide to say "I do" by the sea - and invite their guests to the beach of their dreams. This can be at home, on a tropical island and may even be the place where the proposal was made. No matter where a beach wedding takes place: It is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. And for this, just as for a wedding in a conventional setting, you need an outfit that does justice to the occasion - and the location.

For a seaside wedding, dress codes are much less strict than for a church or civil ceremony, for example.

Both the bride and groom and the guests can create their look more freely and casually, because who wants to celebrate on the beach in a tight suit or a serious suit? Breezy, romantic and playful looks suit a beach wedding setting much better than strict elegance.

The perfect look for a beach wedding is elegant and casual, conveying the feeling of freedom that automatically comes with being by the sea in a textile way too. Say "yes" to flowing silhouettes, airy materials, bright colours, friendly patterns and unconventional details. Of course, a certain degree of elegance must also be maintained at the beach wedding, but you are much freer in your choice of outfit and may, for example, show more skin than at a celebration in a classical setting.

Whether on a Caribbean or Baltic Sea beach: a seaside wedding opens up a wide range of outfit options for you as a bride. A white dress is also the first choice of many brides for a beach wedding. Opt for a romantic-feminine design with lace, embroidery or playful details, for example, or for a classy summer dress. Depending on the widths you are getting married in, your look will call for more or less fabric. The style of the wedding dress - just like the material and length - is ultimately decided by your personal taste.

Feminine lace dresses provide the perfect bridal look on the beach. Whether it's a playful little dangling dress in a body-hugging A-line, a seductive maxi dress or an extravagant gown in vintage style: the openwork material makes lace very comfortable to wear even in hot temperatures.

Depending on your personal preference, you can opt for a strapless lace dress or a version with short or long sleeves. The length of the skirt, which can be shorter on the beach than in church, is also up to your individual taste.

A floor-length wedding dress for a beach wedding looks particularly elegant. Body-hugging silhouettes emphasise your femininity, while a wide-cut long dress is particularly comfortable to wear on hot days.

Simple maxi dresses made of fine, soft-flowing materials such as silk are the perfect choice for the beach. Details such as flounces, ruffles or appliqués add even more romance.
