Beach Wedding Dresses

Pretty Pleats on a Boho Beach Wedding Dress

My garments are of Hight quality, you will get it nicely packaged in the box and ready to wear, we promise you will not get the sloppy items by any means.

Let’s begin with a gorgeous wedding style that works for every bride and beach destination.

This pretty pleated boho-chic gown is made from lightweight but sturdy chiffon, renowned as an ideal material for an outdoor wedding, especially a beach ceremony with an unpredictable ocean breeze!

We particularly like the minimalist accents on the sexy but close-fitted bodice with spaghetti straps.

Silky Ruffled Dress for Your Beach Wedding Close to Home

100% Silk Wedding Dress

Our signature stunner features 3D silk collaging throughout the skirt, shaping flat collaging and satin roping throughout the torso, and a dramatic closed lace up back.

Your beach wedding deserves an extraordinary dress, and this style is a standout in many ways!

We adore the “3D silk collaging” effect on the skirt and the fitted silk chiffon torso with romantic satin rope detailing⁠—you can dance in this dress on the shore!

The one thing to note with silk is that it’s prone to wrinkling, so if you’re traveling to your wedding, have time to get this gown back into tip-top shape before you walk down the sand on your big day.

Beautiful Fit and Flare Beach Bridal Gown

The dress gives an effortless illusion, but very cleverly tailored.

The bodice is deep-cut but has ivory cups and a lycra lining, and imagine how beautifully those lacy sleeves will flutter like angel wings in a breeze!

Embroidered Maxi Dress Is Sheer Elegance

If you’re getting married locally by the shore, this lacy maxi dress is elegant but not too resort-style or over the top.

Love Your Lining on This Beach Dress

White Maxi Dress Bohemian Style for Women

Elegant dress Floral short sleeve Boho style For ladies.

This wedding dress features a stunningly beautiful backless look, with sexy lace on the front and the option to choose a lining color underneath.

We think the champagne lining, in particular, would suit a golden-sand beach perfectly.

Destination Dresses

If you’re a traveling bride planning a beachfront resort wedding on cool Caribbean sands, you can look for lighter dresses that are easier to pack and keep fresh on arrival.

Let’s check out some eye-catching bridal styles for your destination ceremony!

This lacy dress stays cool with a cotton lining, and you’ll feel stunning and sensual without a lick of self-consciousness.

Beach-Chic Chiffon Wedding Dress

This chic dress features sexy details, especially the bra-like cutout bodice and the very open back. But it’s equally as flowing and romantic with the billowy sleeves that gather at the wrist and the long, lightweight train.

Chiffon can wrinkle during travel depending on the material. Still, happy brides mention that these handmade dresses arrive neatly packaged and worry-free, so we’d recommend this beach wedding gown selection for your destination wedding!

Sipping Champagne on the Sand Wedding Dress

Simply Minimalist Beach Wedding Dress

Jolene Ribbed Strapless Leg Split Classy Bridal Gown

This bodice corset dress offers both comfort and style, making it the perfect choice for any destination wedding or elopement. 

Easy to pack and stunning to wear, this simple slip gown features a front-to-back corset-style bodice with an adjustable fit, perfect for sinking your bare feet into cool sands. 

Tulle Wedding Gowns

Okay, it’s time to talk about a beach wedding dress rumor: specifically, tulle is not a good fabric for the beach because the soft mesh in tulle is thought to trap sand and make you look messy.

Sure, any fabric can capture sand, including lace, and when any fabric gets wet, there’s a better chance that dirt stains will be harder to clean up afterward. That’s why we think many dressmakers caution brides-to-be that big ballgowns with tulle or heavy appliques and long, cathedral trains are too hard to walk on in the sand.

So what do you do if you want to wear tulle? Check out these gowns to see!

A Princess Dress Can Be Perfect

Light Champagne off Shoulder Wedding Dress

Materials: Tulle, Lace, Applique, Beading, Sequins, Lining.

There are so many details to love on this champagne-colored princess gown with its sweeping train. This dress is proof that contrary to the rumors, you can wear tulle as a beach bride!

The most important thing to discuss with a dressmaker is how heavy the gown and train are to wear on a beach.

If you do choose tulle, try to stroll nice and tall on the sand and periodically lift and shake out the hemline. This little detail will help your dress stay fresh and beautiful all day and night.

Sweet Bell Sleeves on Billowy Beach Wedding Gown

Bohemian Wedding Dresses

Custom dress sizing is available upon custom order request.

Here’s more proof that tulle gowns belong on the beach!

This sexy style provides a good structure with the cupped bodice over a mini-length underskirt. The tulle train looks light enough for the sand, and we’re picturing how sweetly those bell sleeves will flutter in the breeze.

Long-Sleeved Wedding Dress for a Long Summer Night

Champagne Wrap Lace Gown with Train

The Beautiful Champagne color will flatter you and make you to the center of the occasion!

Often, a southeast wind will bring higher surface temperatures and a light ocean breeze, but if the wind changes direction to the north, that breeze will feel considerably cooler. That’s why we love this dress!

The sheer lacy details on this fitted torso and the long sleeves look perfect for the beach, but it also provides coverage for your skin if the wind changes direction on the shore.

Chic Wedding Dress for Stretches of Sand

Boho Hippie Wedding Dress

All our dresses can be customized, so please contact us and we will make the dress of your dreams.

Here’s another gorgeous tulle dress worth mentioning with long billowy sleeves and a gently flowing tulle skirt.

This dress is ideal for a beach wedding on the hard-packed sands of the coast.

Float to Your Fairytale Wedding in This Beach Dress

Champagne Tulle Lace Deep V Neck Bridal Dress

This wedding dress is very suitable for summer.

This lightweight lace and tulle wedding dress features a flattering high waist design and a low sensual back. 

The detail that we adore the most is the winged veil effect at the back of each arm. It gives you the romantic illusion of wearing a veil, and that’s a great thing because wearing a long headpiece veil at a wedding can be challenging!

Alternative Bridal Looks

Beach wedding attire doesn’t have to be the traditional white dress! Take a look at some alternative looks…

A Beach Wedding Jumper Is Suitably Sexy

The nude sequined effect against the minimalist satin gown is jaw-dropping and unforgettable.

This look travels easily in a garment bag to your destination resort wedding, and it will go from the beach to a banquet setting effortlessly.

Short and Super-Sweet Beach Wedding Dress

Short White Dress

This off-the-shoulder rendition is cut crafted from fancy fabric and adorned with long, light see-through sleeves.

Generally, we wouldn’t recommend a super-short wedding dress on a breezy beach because of the “flashing risk,” but this adorable, off-the-shoulder number fits close to the body and features a short pencil skirt that’s sexy as heck but should stay still!

Barefoot Bling

If you’re dreaming of sinking your tootsies into warm soft sand at your beach wedding then why not bling them up with some bridal accessories?

This set has a gold-plated golden finish, and the quality is outstanding.

Beach Wedding Shoes

It’s so much fun to stroll barefoot on a beach, and the idea of getting married barefoot by the water is undeniably romantic. Not to get too scientific, but the more quartz there is in the sand, the softer and cooler the beach will feel to your skin.

Many beaches have darker or more golden sand made up of quartz deposits, coral sedimentation, and other minerals washed up onshore. This combo makes the sand hard-packed and hotter under sunshine; in some cases, the temperature of sand can reach between 130 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon heat.

That’s why it’s a great idea to be prepared with a pair of shoes! So let’s check out some chic bridal footwear to glide down that hot or hard-packed sand!

Something Blue Wedding Shoes

his will be a dream wedding day for you and we will do our best to make the perfect bridal shoes for you, focused on each detail.

These strappy, rhinestone-studded sandals are the perfect choice for your “something blue!”

Lacy Sandals for the Beach

Lace Sandals

Ivory Satin Sandal for Your Beach Wedding Dress

You can choose these pretty satin sandals with a fun ivory bow (or without!) for simple bridal footwear that’s perfect protection from the hot sand.

Beach Hair Accessories

One thing we’ve touched on a lot about getting married on the beach is that you’re at the mercy of the winds. A shifting breeze can change the temperature and make that long, romantic veil you’re wearing on your head blow right into your face and get stuck!

No worries, because we have some stunning solutions!

Beach Wedding Hair Comb

Beach Wedding Hair Comb

The listing is for a beautiful Pearl and Silver Crystal hair comb that will adorn a Bride's hair as a perfect hair piece.

You’d also look beautiful with a hair comb minus the veil, especially if you’re wearing a backless dress that you want to show off.

That’s where this extra-long, silver-toned hair comb with pearls and crystals comes in, and we should mention that the flexible wires on the comb are bendable to suit your wedding day hairstyle.

Golden Leafy Tiara
