A Tropical Wedding Dress That Sizzles

A tropical wedding dress is the perfect fit for a wedding on the beach or any tropical location. As with any type of bridal gown, you will have to spend some time researching and figuring out why style best fits your style, body type and budget.

In general most brides choose a dress that is a little more relaxed and casual for a tropicalor beach wedding. White is a popular color choice, and the dresses are of varying lengths but usually without a long train.

There are a few other things to consider in addition to your dress. Shoes are an important part of your wedding attire, and high heels are not the best choice if you are getting married on the beach.

Look for sandals, flip flops or flats that are comfortable and match the style of your dress. You can also go barefoot or add foot jewelry for a nice touch.

Instead of a veil or tiara, have tropical flowers added to your hair. Another option is to wear a haku wreath (flower wreath worn around the head) or a lei .

Also, watch out for tan lines that you may have gotten over the summer that will show when you wear your dress. Consider going to a tanning salon and getting a real or spray-on tan prior to the wedding if you are concerned about not looking tan in your dress.

There are several different types of dresses for you to choose from. Below we have listed the most popular choices for a tropical wedding dress.

Halter
Casual yet elegant, a halter tropical wedding dress is typically ankle length or has a cascading skirt. Typically found in white they are perfect for an evening wedding.

Spagetti Straps
An elegant choice that isn't too formal yet can be dressed up a bit if you want. White or ivory are popular color choices accented with a design or color. A unique variation isa cross-neck strap.

Strapless
The perfect option to show off your tanned shoulders. It is also a great option for a more formal beach wedding.

Sarongs

They come in many different colors other than white, such as lavender and green, and floral patterns. Sarong styles include 2 or 3 piece sets, halter, one shouldered, strapless and strapless bra.
