Beach Wedding Dress
If wanting to avoid the problems of sunburn, heat, and too many strangers nearby, but you're adamant that you want a wedding on a sandy shoreline, at the seaside, consider having your wedding ceremony at night. Of course, you're going to want to have the perfect beach wedding dress too. Once you've got what you're going to wear out of the way, you can fully concentrate on making sure the ceremony will be just as enjoyable for your guests as it will be for you.
When it comes to money, you're lucky if you've decided to exchange your vows down at the sea. Bridal gowns suitable for being in close proximity to sand, sea, and salt, are usually less expensive than the more formal kind. Even if having one made, or designing your own, a beach wedding dress that is obviously not too long, will need less material than other bridal dresses. If you have great legs, especially if they're tanned and make you look like you were born on the beach, wearing even a mini may be an option.
 To decide on what best suits you and the special occasion, white summer dresses may be all that you need to browse through at your favorite clothing store. A halter neck dress, that bares your beautifully sun-bronzed back and shoulders, is an excellent choice, or a dress that reminds you of Hawaii. If you find a dress you love, but feel it's not quite bridal, don't despair. Have it altered at a dressmaker. Discuss alterations with the dressmaker, and perhaps decide to add a little lace, or embroidery, or a little silk here and there, but keep it fairly simple. An elaborate bridal gown does not belong on a beach. If you've chosen to get married on the coast, standing on possibly damp or very soft and uneven sand, a formal, traditional gown will look ridiculous. Stick with the theme.
If struggling to decide what else to wear with your beach wedding dress, at least be sensible about what to wear on your feet and legs. Stockings simply won't do, and if you're prepared to mess up stunning shoes you bought just for the ceremony, then go ahead, but why not rather be a little daring and try doing something a little unusual like going barefoot? You could have beautifully painted toenails, and dainty jewellery around your ankles, or even delicate little flowers encircling your ankles.
Once you know what you're going to wear to get married in, you can concentrate on the rest of the wedding arrangements. Or you can take a break from all of the preparations, sit back, relax and picture it all: The guests suddenly grow quiet, and all you can hear is the sound of crashing waves competing with the sound of the loud beat of your heart. Your bare toes dig into the sand, as innocent as a child playing with a bucket and spade at the ocean's edge. You are ready to leave the little girl in you behind, but taking the first steps away from that is so much easier when you're barefoot and on the beach. The crackling bonfire warms your golden back, and you are radiant in the firelight as you approach your groom.
