The statement maxi

Long, sweeping gowns made from silk chiffon, crepe, or satin are ideal for seaside ceremonies. Look for open backs, thigh-high slits, or asymmetrical hems to balance grace with ease. With designers such as Zimmermann, Peter Do, Johanna Oritz and more. Opt for metallic flat sandals or barefoot accessories for the sand, and a sleek bun to manage the breeze.

Colour theory

Pastels, sea-glass tones, and sun-washed hues always photograph beautifully. Soft pistachio, blush, lavender, or sand beige feel dreamy and sophisticated.

Ocean-friendly accessories

Make your accessories count—elevate your look with pieces that catch the light without feeling overdone. Shell-inspired gold hoops or baroque pearl drops can make an easy statement. Additionally raffia clutch add that easy-going flair.

When dressing for a beachside wedding, let the natural beauty of the setting inform your style. Think refined, not resort wear. With the right fabrics, flattering cuts, and a dash of coastal sparkle, you’ll look right at home as the waves witness a love story—and a style moment.
