What To Wear To A Beach Wedding

So you're invited to a beach wedding and wondering what you should wear?

Ideally, the invitation will specify 'beach casual' or 'beach formal' and the wedding website will give more specific recommendations. Otherwise, an elegant sundress below the knee will be a safe choice.

Here are some other guidelines to dressing for a beach wedding.

Avoid mini hems and dresses and skirts that can blow up easily, as it tends to be windy on the beach.

'Beach casual' wedding dress code still doesn't mean you're allowed to wear shorts and rubber flip-flops.

When going to a beach wedding, choose your footwear accordingly. Avoid stilettos. Ballerina shoes or leather flat sandals on the fancier side will be a good choice instead.
