Having a wedding in July or June requires that you look into summer dresses for weddings. After all, both you and your bridesmaids will have to be dressed for the occasion, and you simply cannot wear a long velvet dress to a wedding in the middle of a heat wave and still look glamorous. Whether it is a wedding at a beach filled with strawberry pink sand, or a summery wedding outside your local church, you will need clothes that breathe in hot weather. This guide will help you make sure that you and the rest of the guests will look stylish this coming summer.
Dresses for Summer Weddings
The key thing to look for in dresses for summer weddings is the material. Look for breezy, soft materials like see-through linens, cotton, and certain forms of satin. Tulle can be used to add extra poof to a summer dress for a wedding, but it can be overwhelming and too warm if added incorrectly. With summer dresses for weddings, it’s also important to look for simple, easy cuts.
When looking for an upscale wedding dress for your summer wedding, make the majority of the added glitz and glamor embroidery, sequin, lace, and pearls. Do not rely on a thick, overly warm material like velvet or wool to add accents to your dress. You will end up looking overheated and exhausted in your wedding photos if you aren’t comfy in your dress.
Wedding Dress For Beach Wedding
A beach wedding is beautiful, but always calls for a very simple dress. Even the bride should look into getting a plain white dress for her special day, if her special day is on the beach. A good example of a wedding dress for beach wedding ceremonies is the White Maxi Vintage Summer Halter Beach Party Long Sun Dress on Amazon.com. Though not officially a “wedding dress,” this beautiful white dress will look perfectly at home at a beach wedding ceremony. Accented with a silver or gold necklace, this stunning yet simple dress will catch eyes from everyone who sees it. Best of all the maxi cut of this dress is universally flattering, so you won’t have to worry about looking pudgy in it. At only $50, it’s a bargain priced wedding dress that will leave people saying “Wow!” Why wait for it to sell out? Go and check it out now!
Summer Wedding Dresses For Guests
Winter weddings, as well as autumn weddings, are known for having more dramatic colors for guests to wear. Spring and summer wedding dresses for guests often take on a pastel hue. In the summer, a lighter color can also help deflect heat, which in turn will keep guests from feeling uncomfortable while they watch you exchange vows. Keeping in mind the general rules for summer wedding dresses, we found a couple of great suggestions to consider.
Pink is a classic choice for a bridesmaid dress, and we found the bebe Back Cutout Shine Dress that would make for a sassy-but-classy bridesmaid dress. Its hot coral hue suits almost every skin tone, and it will also add a lively splash of color in what might otherwise be a very drab wedding ceremony. At only $59 per dress on Amazon, how can you really lose? Be careful, these are getting to be low on stock, so you better snap them up before it’s too late.
Lavender has also proven to be a very “in” bridesmaid color this upcoming summer season, and there are several dresses that would make for a perfect summer wedding dress accompaniment. The Lavender Dress Peasant Ethnic Smocked Fits dress on Amazon.com is a good example of a very breezy dress that bridesmaids will feel totally comfortable wearing. Formal yet beach-perfect, this beautiful dress retails for $47 on Amazon. Once again, these are also low on stock, so it’s best to act fast.
Overall, choosing summer dresses for weddings doesn’t have to be too much of a chore. As long as you know what to look for, you are in the clear. Choose wisely, make sure to add your personality into the equation. After all, it is your wedding – what you wear will be up to you.
