Gorgeous Beach Wedding Dress Ideas 

Have you always imagined yourself saying your vows during a romantic beach ceremony by the sea? Enjoying your reception dinner with your guests by an ocean sunset? Whether your dream beach wedding is on a tropical island, ocean resort, or rugged coastline, finding the picture perfect bridal gown will help make your big day unforgettable. 

Beach brides often share a few similarities in what they’re looking for in a bridal dress design. They’re frequently looking for gowns that are light, airy, laidback and flowy. 

Our Simply Val Stefani collection of bridal gowns embrace that carefree, effortless spirit. From modern styles that are exquisitely detailed with many embellishments to unique Boho designs with a minimalist vibe, we offer a variety of gowns that’ll fit your personal style. Let’s look at four beach wedding dress ideas that work beautifully for seaside ceremonies and destination weddings. 

SWEETHEART BEACH WEDDING DRESSES

A sweetheart neckline is flattering for most any bride, which is probably why it’s one of the most popular bodice styles. It can create, or accentuate, the curves of a bride’s bust. At the same time, the “v” in the center of the neckline creates an overall slimming effect. This oh-so-feminine look is a natural choice for the beach.

This dress style is popular among beach brides and one of our favorites is Val Stefani FAIRY. This A-line lace dress features a sweetheart neckline with romantic cottagecore details--including an illusion inset and delicate floral lace appliques layered with tulle ruching. Our FAIRY gown comes with a natural waist that leads into a tulle skirt, poet style long sleeves that hang delicately off the shoulders, and a sweep train that will have you gliding over the sand. 

BOHO STYLE GOWNS

Boho wedding dresses and the beach pair perfectly together. Flowing designs, lace fabrics, and vintage charm are typically associated with a Bohemian lifestyle. With our WAVERLY gown, you can play up the rustic or chic elements.

This sexy lace fit and flare wedding dress features an unlined bodice with beautiful embroidered lace fabric and appliques. Like many of our gowns, there are several color options to match your skin tone or your nature-inspired wedding colors. WAVERLY is available in ivory/ivory, ivory/gold or white/white. Delicate spaghetti straps lead to a dreamy open back. The dress flares at the hips and flows to a chapel train to give this gown chic appeal. Use bridal accessories and a unique hairstyle to play up either your hippie Bohemian side, or your Boho-chic style.

LACE BRIDAL GOWNS

If you’re a bride who loves lace, you’ll love Simply Val Stefani style ATLAS. A lace gown inspired by greek geometric designs, the lines of the dress swirl from the front to the back to accentuate all of the bride's natural curves. The lace details on this mermaid bridal gown blend beautifully to enhance both the bust and waist. This design features a daring V-neck, sequin detailing, spaghetti straps, and a low back. Be sure to take photos from different angles in this unique mermaid gown.

Another option for a show stopping lace wedding dress with a mermaid silhouette, Style JET. Notice the linear vine and floral pattern in the lace. This is not your typical lace. This beachy gown gives you the sexy curves of a mermaid silhouette with room to glide over the sand and dance (the loose fishtail becomes a romantic sweep train). You’ll turn heads with JET’s seed bead embellished spaghetti straps that feature a sexy low back. 

Find Your Perfect Beach Wedding Gown

There are so many options when it comes to wedding dresses for a beach wedding that can fit any desired bridal look! An A-line sweetheart gown is a popular cut for a coastal setting, but there’s no reason to rule out a relaxed mermaid or loose fit and flare for your beachside ceremony. As long as the fabrics are light, and the cut allows for easy movement, you can look like a gorgeous sea goddess and feel effortlessly carefree.
