A beach wedding is a magical and romantic affair. But, the beautiful location does require some special planning, especially when it comes to your dress. Of course, you want it to be beautiful, but it also needs to be suitable for the sand, sun and sea breeze. That means you’ll need to forget those heavy black evening dresses and excessive trains and opt for something a little lighter and more whimsical instead.

You may not want to wear white, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a classical aesthetic. For a look that’s both traditional and modern, consider opting for a long sleeve islamic wedding dress. While the metallic hue will add an on-trend element to your wedding look, the long cut will keep things sophisticated and elegant.

Proof that a desire for a more informal approach to contemporary ceremonies is growing, global fashion search platform recently revealed that 23 per cent of brides now opt for red wedding dresses with 61 per cent of the dress choices being short.

The One will make you feel beautiful the second you pull it on and will bring out the best in you without even trying. Over the years, we have seen brides start to glow with happiness when they found The One and it’s because they feel beautiful. So if you pull on a dress and feel a million dollars, you’re onto a winner.
