A Gorgeous Beach Wedding Dress To Match The Natural Beauty Of The Location

Since your wedding dress is definitely about you and you have selected a lovely natural spot for your ceremony, it only remains to select the right dress to suit you and the locale. Sounds easy but it's surprisingly difficult and takes a clear head to keep in mind the goal and to remain true to yourself. Replacing the pomp of a traditional wedding, you are free to invite nature to celebrate with you against a natural backdrop. So the dress needs to be in tune with the surroundings and probably simple but elegant is what will work the best for you.

Long dresses are maybe difficult. The bride can eliminate elaborate headdresses, trains and veils. The bride's shoes can be flat sandals as against tower heels.  They can still use some of the stunning materials being employed by the designers. This example is a David Meister Strapless Dress at Nordstrom's.  It has a pleated sweetheart-neck bodice. It is boned for feminine shaping above a fitted sheath. The attached Empire-waist belt adjusts at the rectangular buckle. The additional features are back zip closure, slit pockets and full lines with the approximate length of 31 inches from the top center front to the hem. In white cotton/cupro. Nordstrom's item # 214996 and the price is $406.  Simple, pretty and quite elegant in the short length.

This one, also from Nordstrom is an Allen Schwartz ABS in Silk Chiffon. Ths is a not quite floor length at 54".  I think it could handle a beach wedding as long as the sand is flat and a bit firm. It really does have an elegant wedding look about it. Raw edges trim a pleat-bodice gown, embroidered at the inset waist and embellished with beads and faux pearls. Flowing chiffon creates a flutter-hem skirt. It's Nordstrom's item # 212131 and is also priced at $406. 

One more at the Nordstrom Wedding Shop is this J S Collections Pleated Bead Dress.  This is a great modern look with a beaded inset defining the waist of a flowing, pleated dress. Pistachio and Antique White come with a shawl and the approx. length from shoulder is 42". Polyester/spandex. Nordstrom's item # 116805 and the price ,a super reasonable $198.  (Wish I could have found one like this for mine!).

I hope these selections give you, the Bride, an idea of what can be found outside the formal arena as  plied  by the bridal shops.  These options tend to be informal and different and in my opinion fit my concept of the beach wedding dress.  Add to that the fact that you will save money this way - you will be able to show your comfort with haute couture - you will get a lot of comment as to how much your wedding was exciting and different. In short, I think this route will make you very happy.
