Top designers are offering large choices of tropical wedding dresses, as destination weddings on sunny islands or beach resorts are getting increasingly popular.
A new line of wedding gowns are emerging called destination wedding dresses.
They're simple and modern, made of soft, airy, and sheer fabrics to suit the sunny weather and to show off a sexy expanse of skin.
Most destination weddings take place on a beach, be it in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico or in any number of gorgeous island getaways around the world.
However, tropical wedding dresses are not just for the beach. If you are planning a combo wedding and honeymoon on a cruise ship visiting several island destinations, a casually elegant destination wedding gown is an appropriate choice.
As you are shopping for your wedding dress, focus on those styles that are chic, stylish, and fresh.
Choose a material that packs and travels easily. The material should be cool and comfortable, wrinkle-free and washable in order to get rid of marks from the sand or stains from the sea water. The style of the wedding gown should be fluid and in a fabric that moves with the body.
The best color for a destination wedding gown is either sheer white or ivory and as the bride, you should pick the shade that works best on your skin.
There are other considerations when you are making a selection from a variety of tropical wedding gowns:
o Footwear – the preferred footwear is a strappy sandal, a low heeled slip-on, and for the total beach look, flip-flops, either plain or decorated. Some brides are opting for barefeet with pretty, sparkly anklets made of seed pearls, shells or beads as their accessory.
o Hairstyle – A loose chignon held with a few flowers or pretty hair clips on short or loosely curled long hair are some of the hairstyles best for a destination wedding.
o Bouquet – use tropical flowers such as phalaenopsis orchids, pikake or jasmine, frangipanis or tuberose. In keeping with casual, tropical ease, keep the bouquets simple; tying them with raffia or leaves from local plans enhance the casual chic.
o Jewelry – Tropical wedding dresses work best with a minimum of jewelry. A pair of pearl earrings is more suitable than heavy chandelier earrings and delicate crystal earrings will sparkle as they catch the light from the sun. Rhinestone barrettes or headbands are just as effective. Whatever you decide on, less is more when planning for a tropical wedding.
Are you thinking of adding little touches of color?
Pick the colors that echo your surroundings – such as sapphire or azure blue to reflect the ocean, delicate peaches or gold for the colors of the sky at sunset or silver to mirror the color of the surf or the stars in a tropical sky.
You do not have to sacrifice on romance, glamor or style when you are picking tropical wedding dresses.
Destination wedding gowns are a breakthrough trend and are here to stay.
