How to choose Beach Maternity Wedding Dresses for a Wedding On The Beach Itself
Do you fancy a very relaxed, casual look for your maternity beach wedding? Or are you hoping to find something a little more traditionally 'weddingy'. If the weather is going to be very warm... or hot... it's best to stick to lightweight, natural fabrics for your comfort. Less is definitely more with a beach wedding... and white is THE most flattering colour for your touch-of-sun look!
Sand and heels just don't work! Luckily there are so many pretty sandals and flip flops to choose from, you will be spoiled for choice. And if your feet have swollen up with your pregnancy, flat wedding shoes or sandals will be so comfortable... you can even get them in wide-width today and no one will be any the wiser! Going bare foot is terribly romantic, but do check how hot the sand will be... and that it's safe and pleasant to walk on too!
Trains and veils are much better suited to formal ceremonies as are extravagant, heavily decorated dresses which are likely to be too hot to cope with. If you really want a veil, you might be wise to go for something short and ethereal. Fresh pretty white cotton or jersey maternity dresses, are gorgeous and perfect for your maternity wedding. And you can wear them again and again after your big day! If you're looking for a super-casual but stylish look and you have great legs, why not team a classy maternity swimsuit with a pretty sarong? It's a very cute look.
