How to Choose Beach Wedding Bridesmaid Dresses


Beach wedding bridesmaid dresses should be rather more casual than those worn in traditional wedding rites. Long white gowns are replaced by short-length dresses, and colors tend to go with a beach-themed palette including shades of blue, green, and peach. The best thing about beach wedding bridesmaid dresses is that they are readily available in most department stores and don't have to be purchased through bridal boutiques, saving you enormous time and money.

When looking for beach wedding bridesmaid dresses, search for styles that do not touch the sand. Bridesmaids can still look chic in short-length dresses that let them simply walk on the beach. Look for light-weight fabrics such as silk, organza, crepe, linen or chiffon. The bridesmaids' dresses should complement regardless of the bride is wearing.

Most beach wedding bridesmaid dresses have spaghetti straps or halter tops. If the dresses are strapless, the bride should order matching wraps to guard them from the scorching heat or occasional drizzle.

Heels are a no-no in beach weddings. They're hard to walk on and they get stuck in the sand. Beach wedding bridesmaid dresses are best complemented with strappy sandals. If you are wearing a more casual design, select classy flip flops or go barefoot.
