A beach or destination wedding dress takes cues from its locale. Movement is generally a key component so fabric and construction take center stage. Chiffons, frothy tulles, featherweight lace and layers with drape are standouts of this style. Many gowns are labeled as ‘Grecian’ or Coastal’ which refers to the layered draping, column styling and/or the loose fitting cap sleeved fabric that can cover or simple swoop across the shoulders and decoletage. Thin pieces of fabric or a short but airy train can add a dramatic touch to the generally airy and light aesthetic of this wedding style. As with all styles, accessories and other styling elements like hair, earrings, flowers, bridesmaids dresses all help construct the full style of the wedding. A bold earring or other accessory can also nod and dram from a far flung destinations culture if you are indeed having a Grecian, Moroccan, South of Italy, or other cultural destination in which you want to weave light elements of throughout your attire.
