Attending a beach wedding calls for attire that is both stylish and suitable for the casual, outdoor setting but also practical! 

Here are some suggestions on what to wear to a beach wedding in 2024. 

For Women:

Maxi Dresses

Flowy maxi dresses in light and breathable fabrics are an excellent choice for a beach wedding. Choose tropical prints or soft pastel colors for a beachy vibe.

Sundresses

Opt for a sundress in lightweight fabric, such as cotton or linen. Bright colors or floral patterns can complement the beach setting.

Jumpsuits or Rompers:

Stylish jumpsuits or rompers in breathable materials are a trendy and comfortable option. They provide a chic, modern look suitable for a beach celebration.

Flowy Skirts with Tops

Pair a flowy skirt, perhaps in a high-low style, with a stylish top. This combination allows for movement and comfort in the beach breeze.

Flat or Low-Heeled Sandals

Choose comfortable sandals, espadrilles, or flat shoes. Heels can sink into the sand, making them impractical for a beach ceremony.

Wide-Brimmed Hats

A wide-brimmed hat not only adds a touch of elegance but also provides sun protection. Choose a hat that complements your outfit and the beach setting.

Lightweights Shawl or Cover-up

In case the evening gets cooler or if there’s a breeze, bring a lightweight shawl or cover-up that complements your dress.

For Men:

Linen or Cotton Shirts

Opt for a linen or cotton button-down shirt in light colors. Roll up the sleeves for a relaxed look.

Khaki or Linen Pants:

Pair your shirt with khaki or linen pants for a beach-appropriate ensemble. These fabrics are breathable and perfect for a casual beach setting.

Shorts and Short-Sleeved Shirts

If the wedding is particularly casual, consider stylish shorts paired with a short-sleeved button-down shirt. This works well for a more laid-back beach vibe.

Loafers or Boat Shoes

Choose comfortable loafers or boat shoes that are suitable for walking on sand. Avoid formal dress shoes, as they may be impractical for the beach.

Light-Colored or Printed Blazer

For a more polished look, consider adding a light-colored or printed blazer to your outfit. This is especially suitable for evening beach weddings.

Sunglasses and a Hat

Complete your look with stylish sunglasses and, if appropriate, a hat for sun protection.

General Tips:

Consider the Dress Code: Check if there’s a specific dress code mentioned in the wedding invitation. Some beach weddings may have a more formal or casual dress code.

Avoid Heavy Fabrics: Given the beach setting, steer clear of heavy fabrics that may be uncomfortable in warm weather.

Mind Your Accessories: Keep accessories minimal, and choose those that are beach-appropriate, such as shell or beaded jewelry.

Sunscreen: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen, especially if the wedding is during the day. Sun protection is key for a beach celebration.

By keeping the setting in mind and opting for breathable, comfortable fabrics, you can create a stylish and appropriate outfit for a beach wedding in 2024.
