Having your wedding at the beach this summer? There are a few things to consider since a beach wedding dress is a bit different from the traditional wedding gowns. A summer wedding dress should be light and fresh.  The fabrics that work best are light chiffons, crepes and cotton organzas. A great idea is to mix up these fabrics and make something that will be elegant and beautiful yet comfortable in the hot scorching sun . You don’t have to sacrifice style to find the perfect summer wedding dress. Here are a few inspirational summer wedding gowns.

Reese Witherspoon chose a light chiffon Monique Lhullier gown at her Santa Barbara wedding in early summer 2011.

Simple accents such as beach footwear or a simple flower in your hair can help finish off your beach wedding look. If you want to wear your hair down, a semi updo will keep the hair from constantly blowing into your face. Final tip, the one element you should pay extra attention to is your skin! You want your skin to be luminous and flattered by the direct natural light. Hopefully you have prepared a nice golden base in time for your wedding. If not, consider brushing on some mineral-based All-Over Face Color that is light enough for beach weather while providing a natural glow.

The key to the beach wedding dress is feeling as comfortable as you look beautiful. Opting for simplicity and high quality materials make this combination feasible. Any good tips and ideas for soon-to-be brides getting hitched on white sands and turquoise waters?
