Seaside Nuptials

When you get invited to a beach wedding, you might find yourself excited to attend the outdoor celebration, with your toes in the sand and your nose inhaling the salty ocean breeze. But as you begin to plan for the wedding and pick out an outfit, you might begin to wonder what attire works best for a wedding in that setting.

Looking for the perfect outfits to wear to all your 2022 beach weddings? Check out these breezy options.

Go with Florals

Want to go with a look that fits the beach theme? Pick an outfit that incorporates a floral print, has a tropical pattern, or matches the different shades of the ocean. If you ever wanted to break away from wearing a traditional color to a wedding, heading to a beach wedding gives you the chance to wear something different and eye-catching.

SHOP THE LOOK: Target, $36.99

Consider a 3-Piece Linen Suit

Heading to a beach celebration could mean unpredictable and cooler weather than you imagined. If you want to wear something other than a dress, consider a 3-piece suit (a top, blazer, and either pants or a skirt). Pick a linen fabric so that it’s light and breathable. You can keep the blazer on if you get chilly or take it off when you make your way to the dance floor.

SHOP THE LOOK: Mango, $59.99

Pair a Skirt with a Matching Top

For a more flowy look, pair a skirt with a matching top. You can go with a bodysuit top for more of a pulled together look or an off-the-shoulder crop top, if you’re looking for more of a bohemian vibe.

SHOP THE LOOK: Amazon, $35.99-$38.99

Go with a Knee-Length Look

If you’re attending a summer beach wedding, pick a dress that not only won’t drag in the sand but will also be more versatile with the warm weather. Look for knee length dresses, with a ruffled or a-line hem.

SHOP THE LOOK: Pretty Little Thing, $30.00

Pick a Convertible Look

Going to a handful of beach weddings this year? One cost-effective look you might want to invest in is a convertible dress. You can switch up how you tie the straps of this dress so it creates multiple different styles (from a halter top dress to a one-shoulder look). Find a convertible dress with a breathable fabric and neutral color so it can really suit any season and be worn multiple times, whenever you need it.

SHOP THE LOOK: Amazon, $13.26-$41.96

Have Fun with a Wrap Dress

For more casual beach weddings, have fun with a wrap dress in a colorful pattern or bright color. These dresses are not only flattering, but they work well in windy conditions, since they tie around the waist.

SHOP THE LOOK: Old Navy, $34.00

Opt for a Jumpsuit

If you’ve been eager to wear a jumpsuit to a wedding, a beach celebration could be the perfect opportunity. Go with a sweetheart neckline jumpsuit and pair it with a funky necklace or pair of your favorite earrings.

SHOP THE LOOK: Pretty Little Thing, $24.00

Try a Breezy Maxi Dress

When it comes to a beach wedding, you can’t go wrong with a breezy maxi dress. Shop for one that’s colorful, comfortable, and comes in a light-weight fabric so it won’t feel too heavy as you walk around on the sand.

SHOP THE LOOK: Cider, $26.00

Find a Dress with Pockets

At a beach wedding, you might find yourself wanting to pack a variety of extra items with you, from sunglasses to sunscreen. That’s why having a dress with pockets could come in handy for this type of outdoor celebration.

SHOP THE LOOK: Light in the Box, $22.31

Look for a Quality Romper

Attending a super casual wedding? Look for a high quality and good fitting romper as your outfit for a beach wedding. The shorts will not only feel comfortable to wear as you walk in the sand but the shorter length of this outfit will keep you cool on a hot summer day.

SHOP THE LOOK: Amazon, $27.99
