If you’re planning a breezy Florida wedding, one thing’s for sure - you need a wedding dress that suits the climate! Whether you’re getting married on the beach itself or just in a local venue, your bridal style should be just right. Today we’re going to talk about how to style the perfect wedding dress for your coastal nuptials.
The Dress
For a coastal wedding, you should prioritize airy, lightweight fabrics like tulle, chiffon, lace, or cotton to stay cool in the heat. This is especially important if you’re getting married outside; if you’re having an indoors wedding, you have a little more leeway. But you can never go wrong with a gown that’s breezy and easy to move in!

For silhouettes, an a-line wedding dress would be a great choice, as well as any dress with a shorter hemline. Of course, there are no strict rules, so you can always go for a little train if you’re obsessed with the idea. Can’t decide? Go with a dress with a detachable train or detachable overskirt! That will offer you a two in one look to give you options on the big day.

The Finishing Touches
For your veil, you might want to skip the long, heavy option and consider adding decorative elements to your hairstyle like floral vines or pearl studded clips to secure your look. And as for jewelry, keep it subtle with pearl, shell, or gold accents to complement the coast environment.
Lastly, you’ve got to pick the perfect hair and makeup look for your coastal wedding. For your hair, embrace an effortless and natural look with loose waves or a relaxed updo. This will perfectly enhance any wedding dress! As for makeup, opt for a fresh and dewy look that will withstand the heat and moisture.
