Beach Wedding Dresses

Ideal looks for the beach bound bride.

With unobstructed oceanic views as a backdrop and a salty breeze to minimize the heat, the beach is a perfect outdoor wedding venue! Sun, sand, and your love…what more could you ask for? When it comes to getting wed along the coast, consider these beach wedding dresses for your day-of attire!

Casual

With beach weddings taking place in the warmer months, lightweight and breathable fabric (like chiffon) will be a key feature of the dress you choose. Bonus details like an ultra-low back or slim straps offer style-appeal without compromising comfort. Shop the Galina or Melissa Sweet collection for effortlessly beautiful looks. Pro tip: ditch shoes completely and opt for foot jewelry instead.

Short

A cropped hem is a flirty and practical choice for I do’s at the shore. No dragging sand or wet fabric in sight! Two-piece dresses or bridal rompers are alternative options for a not-so-traditional look or as a “second dress” option. DB Studio or our casual collections offer short looks you will love. Pro tip: add a lightweight shawl as the day turns to night to combat chills.

Unexpected

Go a different route and opt for a dress that is a little unexpected. Think an airy tulle ball gown or a sultry mermaid silhouette. The elevated choice typically seen in a formal or glam setting is a refreshing take on the conventional beach bride look. The David’s Bridal and Galina Signature collections feature gowns for any venue. Pro tip: ditch the heels for a wedge or flat.
