That being said, all beach weddings aren’t one in the same. Some are decidedly more formal, while others are completely casual, and you should dress accordingly. Here, three perfect outfit ideas for three different types of beach weddings.
Formal Beach Wedding

For a formal beachside wedding, opt for a long dress, preferably something in a pattern, and sturdy wedge sandals (yes, it’s a formal affair, but you’ll still likely have to walk on sand). Complete the look with minimal jewelry and a fun clutch.

Cocktail Beach Wedding
If the beach wedding calls for cocktail attire, opt for a cocktail dress (can’t go wrong with an LBD) and bold accoessories. If you’re so inclined, a beach setting is the time to ditch the sky-high shoes you’d normally wear for flat or low-heeled sandals.

Casual Beach Wedding
