Getting married on the beach this Summer? The beach makes for a stunning backdrop at a wedding, but what kind of wedding dress will be comfortable to wear on the sand and under the sun while still making you look stunning on your big day?

 

When looking at beach wedding dresses as inspiration for your gown, the first thing to consider is fabrics. Look for wedding dress inspo that uses lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, lace, or silk. You want to avoid falling in-love with wedding dresses that have lots of layers to them. Although they might look gorgeous blowing in the wind on the beach, they’re not going to be practical… especially when sand is involved!

 

The best types of beach wedding dresses are ones that are flowy, not too heavy, and let air through the material.

 

Here’s a compilation of beach wedding dress inspo images that will help you narrow down the type of dress you want for your coastal ceremony.

How amazing is the lace detailing on this dress? The length of this dress is just perfect for a wedding on the beach. The lining of this dress is shorter than the lace, making it more airy and lightweight. So elegant!
