Being Australian designed, we are surrounded by beaches, so a beach wedding is a popular choice that we consider in our designs. Wedding dresses by Madi Lane are often influenced by nature and the outdoor elements in an Australian setting, so this is where we truly shine with our approach to wearability and comfort, without losing any elegance or style.
Beyond the stunning photos and the calm, relaxed ambience, a beach setting opens up exciting possibilities for the choice of wedding dress. Think lightweight and sheer fabrics like our Jaya wedding dress, or soft draping with detachables like our Libbi wedding dress, or an effortless silhouette like our Nash wedding dress.
I fell head over heels in love with Palmer. I wanted a dress that was timeless and classic, but had a little extra something to make it special and Palmer nailed the vibe I was looking for.
Choosing the right fabric is essential for a beach wedding dress. Go for lightweight, breathable materials that can withstand the beach environment and keep you comfortable. We recommend organza, chiffon, tulle, crepe, lightweight lace, and satin. Avoid heavy, voluminous skirts that may be impractical on the sand. Check out our Saint wedding dress in lightweight tulle, or our Jordan wedding dress with 3D chiffon lace.
A mini dress can prevent your wedding gown from dragging in the sand like our Kaylin wedding dress, but you may have your heart set on a full skirt like our Lavonne wedding dress or mermaid style like our Tamra wedding dress. Both options are still possible for the beach, but remember that long dragging hems may get dirty, or be less comfortable. Opt for a hemline that isn’t too long without a long train. Ask your retailer to add a bustle loop, so you can collect the extra fabric neatly which makes moving around much easier.
Strapless, spaghetti straps, short sleeves, or halter necklines are great for keeping cool and achieving a more relaxed beach vibe. Check out our Samson wedding dress with thin spaghetti straps, or our strapless Palmer wedding dress with light detachable sleeves, or Tris wedding dress with a simple chic halter neckline. If you prefer more coverage or are concerned about cooler or windy weather, consider off-the-shoulder designs, or removable sleeves that still maintain a soft breezy look. Avoid heavy draping and excessive beading which could become cumbersome and look too formal for the beach setting.
For a more relaxed beach wedding, your wedding gown should allow you to move freely so opt for less restrictive designs. You will want to choose a dress that provides comfort as you walk down your sandy aisle (likely in barefoot!), so consider a more simply, flowy silhouette like A-line or sheath styles. Check out our Lancaster wedding dress for chic simplicity, or our Lanette wedding dress in soft crepe or our Taylin wedding dress also in light crepe. Empire waist gowns offer ease of movement and a relaxed feeling.
Research the climate of your wedding destination and prepare for sun exposure by choosing a dress with appropriate coverage. Our Jaya wedding dress would be a good choice, or our Kirra wedding dress with some light shoulder coverage. A modern trend we’re seeing, is to have a parasol or umbrella to shield against the environment, so this could be an option also.
We believe wearability of a wedding dress is as important as the style, which is why we offer much lighter options compared to many other designers. Plus, we also include linings which are breathable and sit soft against the skin to support brides in times of stress or hot weather. Most our linings are stretch jersey or stretch Charmeuse.
We have many options for a more relaxed style of wedding dress which would suit a beach setting. Explore the choices above, as well as our Jovi wedding dress, Lavonne wedding dress, and Tennison wedding dress.
