Guest Post: David’s Bridal on Destination Wedding Gowns!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life, and you deserve to have it be everything that you always dreamed. Many couples now head to far-flung locations for their wedding, which experts refer to as destination weddings. The most common destination weddings take place on the beautiful beaches of exotic locations in places like Hawaii.

One of the biggest advantages to a destination wedding is that you can combine your honeymoon and wedding into one package. Instead of getting married at home and then rushing to get ready for your honeymoon, you can relax and take it easy. Imagine exchanging vows on a sunny beach in Hawaii and heading back to that beach with your new spouse for some fun in the sun. You can also slash your wedding budget because not all of your guests can afford the trip. Instead of having hundreds of people watch you get married, you can limit your guest list to your close friends and family.

There are a lot of great beach wedding dresses at David’s Bridal perfect for whatever style you’re going for. This dress from the White by Vera Wang collection would look perfectly at home at a beach wedding because it’s almost a mini-dress. The strapless sweetheart top mimics the look of a bathing suit, while the bottom has the glitz and glamour that you want in your wedding dress. The tulle skirt of the dress gives it a flirty look, and you don’t have to worry about dragging your skirt through the sand since it ends above the knee.

You might decide that your wedding deserves a dress that looks more like a traditional wedding dress. This Grecian style dress has beautiful draping and long flowing lines, a look that would be perfect for the beach. The one shoulder and empire waist highlight your upper body, while the floor-length skirt gives you a touch of modesty. The crinkle chiffon fabric is also light and airy, an important factor for any outdoor wedding.

There are many other current trends you could also consider for your wedding look. Colored dresses in shades such as blush, cream, and blue, and even red have been incorporated into many collections this year.  Also, fascinators are no longer a thing of the past, think about wearing one to achieve a classic look.

No matter where you decide to get married, the most important thing is to pick a dress that suits your personality.  It’s your big day, wear the dress, don’t let the dress wear you!
