What to Pack for a Beach Wedding
Aside from your wedding dress, of course, there are several beach wedding occasions you know you’ll need dresses for. And if you want to stick with the white theme, then packing a multitude of LWDs (little white dresses) is a good idea in case you don’t feel like wearing one, or worse, you have a wardrobe malfunction. Casual beachy coverups and shorter white dresses work for greeting guests, happy hour and brunch, while dressier white dresses can be reserved for your welcome party, rehearsal dinner, after-party outfit and dinners in between. If you plan on squeezing your bachelorette into this weekend (or week) of festivities, then you’ll need 2-3 more options for whatever you have planned. As far as length and style go, that’s really up to whatever your bride vibe is. If you’re an effortlessly chic kind of bride, then white flowy maxis and flats are a good idea—and also pack well. If you’re having a beach wedding that’s not actually on the beach, but in a tropical destination, then take the liberty you want to go all out in the fashion department. Lacy white midi dresses and silk or satin white dresses read sophisticated and special. Obviously, weather comes into play here, so if your location is in an 80-90s+ climate, then you may want to veer towards strapless, sleeveless or short sleeve dresses. A cap sleeve also works great for hot places. And if you absolutely love a long-sleeve dress for a certain bridal moment, then at least try to opt for a lightweight fabric that’s breathable, so you’re not sweating halfway through cocktails.
