To make sure you don’t make that mistake follow these simple rules.

Make sure your beach wedding gown is the right length

A traditional bridal dress generally hits the floor and has a train this isn’t going to work on a sandy beach. If you still want a long dress make sure it stops around your ankles. This will help keep you cool as well as not getting in the way when you walk along the beach and getting stained by the sand. Depending on your style and your personal preference it’s perfectly acceptable to wear a shorter dress on the beach, if you want to show of you legs opt for something above the knee if you feel like your legs aren’t worthy of being shown off then try a calf or ankle length dress.

An ankle length dress could prove difficult to walk in if the wind keeps wrapping itself around your legs. If you’ve got any layers or ruffles then the wind will constantly catch these and you don’t want to spend your wedding ceremony pushing ruffles back down so you can see what’s going on. In fact its better not to buy dresses with ruffles or layers and sand likes to find a way into these nooks and crannies and you’ll never get it out before you head back to your hotel.

Make sure your wedding dress is created with thin, light breathable material

If you’re getting married on a beach, I’m going to assume you’re getting married somewhere sunny and hot, the last thing you want to do is overheat and sweat all your make up off on your wedding day. Choose fabric like cotton, chiffon or silk to keep you cool, these fabrics are also light and thin so wedding dresses created from these fabrics are easily transportable.

Make sure you can transport your wedding dress

If you’ve tried on traditional wedding gowns in the bridal shops then you’ll know that there’s no way that a dress like that is going to fit into your suitcase. Plus do you remember how heavy they are? Just think of the excess baggage you’ll end up paying. Your beach ceremony dress should be made from light thin material so it’s easy to transport.
