What to Wear for a Destination Wedding
Product Information
The Bride
When choosing your gown, always keep your location and the climate in mind. A tropical locale or beach wedding calls for lighterweight fabrics that pack well and won’t easily wrinkle. Avoid excessive beading and heavyweight fabrics like silk satin or taffeta and opt for breezy wrinkle-resisters such as silk tulle, organza, chiffon, charmeuse, georgette or light laces. You’ll also want to forego a too-long train (not ideal for sandy locales) or a veil length that may blow around in ocean breezes (a longer veil actually has more weight and will be less affected by wind). Ultimately, whatever dress style you select should be comfortable and flatter your figure.
