Creative Ideas for Destination Bridal Gowns

A wedding planned in a location faraway such as a favourtie vacation spot is a destination wedding. Some popular locations include Las Vegas, Hawaii or even Aruba. Couples may choose to have their destination wedding alone or with a few close members of their family and friends. They may then have a bigger ceremony or receiption back home. A destination wedding is a marriage ceremony and honeymoon rolled into one. When choosing a destination bridal gown, you can be more creative and stray away from more traditional designs.

Many destination ceremonies take place on the beach. The last thing you want for beach wedding is an ornate gown with a large hoop skirt. For a beach wedding, think floaty and light fabrics and flowy, simple cuts. You can go with a long skirt, although shorter skirts work well in this instance as well. Sandals makes their own line of destination dresses for this very purpose. For example, their Style 1005 dress is a long strapless gown featuring stretch net over white satin with satin ribbon detailing. Or, check out something like Style 1006 which is a white chiffon gown with a shirred bodice and ruffled v-neck.

To go with the beachy look, consider some fun accessories that you wouldn't normally wear. A tropical flower in your hair is a perfect accompaniment to a beach wedding dress. Or, choose a necklace or earrings made from sea shells. Even a piece of gold or silver jewelry with an ocean theme, such as a sand dollar or starfish pendant, can be the perfect item to pull together your look. When it comes to footwear, go barefoot or try cute sandals. Just be sure to get a pretty pedicure for that finishing touch!

For a destination wedding not being held on the beach, such as a Vegas wedding, the choices are unlimited. You can go with a traditional gown, or be totally untraditional. Some brides go with the fluffy white gown, while others wear a less formal dress in their favorite color. Destination bridal gowns are fun to shop for because there are fewer rules to observe than if you were preparing for a church wedding. You can select something that's beautiful and fun, which is exactly what your wedding day should be as well!
