The best part about beach wedding guest attire?
you might definitely have fun!
Before shopping, ask yourself the following questions:
How formal is it?
If youre wondering how dressy you gotta get, be sure to check out the invite.
What shoes do I wear?
Since youll likely be outdoors, avoid shoes that will sink into the sand.
Opt for strappy flats, colorful flats.
Leave the stilettos at home and opt for chunky heels or sandals, Becker says.
it’s possible for you to even go barefoot if the occasion calls for it.

Is the dress practical?
Even if the wedding is more formal, you might loosen up a little.
Flowy, breezy, lightweight dresses are idealand, bonus, they pack much easier in a suitcase!
Think fabrics like chiffon, organza, linen, and silk.
Steer clear of heavy fabrics, such as velvet, wool, and brocade, Barron recommends.
That being said, you might certainly have fun with your dress choice.
Bold colors, vibrant prints, tropical flowers, cutouts, and one-shoulder dresses are all appropriate.
We tend to see a lot more pattern at beach weddings, Becker says.
