Thoughts on dress for beach wedding

Hi knotties,
I wanted your thoughts on the following dresses for a destination wedding (Hawaii in June)... Do you think any of them would be too warm to wear for 5/6 hours? Any insight, thoughts, and recommendations are appreciated!

Re: Thoughts on dress for beach wedding

  • I also am having a beach wedding - and I love your dress choices!  When I went dress shopping, the consultant let me try on the dresses I wanted, but some of them turned out to be super heavy!  That is definitely something to take into consideration!  Have you tried them on? I initially wanted a lace dress, but went with something completely different after trying them on!

  • Thanks! I tried on the Oleg Cassini and I loved it! I haven't tried on the Allure dress yet but plan to in the next few weeks...  I'm in love with lace :) What type of fabric/dress did you end up getting? I'm just overwhelmed with all the choices for a beach wedding!!!
  • Will you be on the beach the entire time? If so, I would personally go with something more flowly. I have an all lace gown and it is definitely hot.

  • The dress you referred to is gorgeous. However, for beach wedding, I suggest you choose chiffon wedding dresses. Wearing a flowing wedding dress on the beach adds a special flavour. If you prefer lace wedding dress, I recommend this style to you.





  • Yeah, I can not agree more! For beach wedding, chiffon wedding gown is definitely perfect!
  • @HappyLisa - those are beautiful dresses! do you know who the designer is?

    Whoops, I forgot to add that the wedding is actually on a private venue that faces the beach, so no sand :) Just wondering if the lace will be too warm in June... I've tried on chiffon dresses and while they were comfortable, I'm not sure if it's the look I wanted... going to keep looking. Thank you knotties for your input!
  • Hi there, the designer of the left chiffon wedding dress is Maggie Sottero, while the lace wedding dress comes from Alfred Angelo. I checked their websites again just now and didn't find them, or I would have given you the links directly. Generally speaking, there are 3 layers about one dress. The outer layer is lace, the second layer is satin, and the inner layer is a kind of smooth fabric to make you feel comfortable when wearing. So I think the lace wedding dress would be quite heavy, probably too warm to wear. For the chiffon wedding dress, it is a bit lighter than that one ! I attached others pictures of the lace dress, you can consult some professionals for more info. Have a nice day!
