While the much-hyped underwater weddings haven’t taken off since bridegroom Alfonse Garcia drowned in Mexico in late 2017, beach weddings continue to grow in popularity, especially among Argentinians and Brazilians since 2020 as it’s much easier to social distance than in a church. Nevertheless for many brides, choosing wedding wear is a critical issue ahead of the wedding. A flamboyant beach wedding bikini, just the same as a wedding dress, sets the tone of the event and reflects your personality and style. It is not easy as there are certainly many options on your mind, not to mention that there is also a critical investment at stake to consider. On the other hand, just when you thought you found the perfect wedding bikini, a family member or friend gets you questioning what you just found minutes ago.
Many brides intending to hold a beach wedding often find themselves between a rock and a sandy place when choosing a wedding bikini or a more traditional wedding gown. Many choose a mermaid outfit, but how to get around? If you plan to have your wedding in a sunny destination upon a beach, then a wedding bikini is the only sensible thing. You can choose to wear a wedding dress during the ceremony and transition into the wedding bikini during the reception party. Here are some ideas to help you come to the right decision.
Surfers Don’t Know Best: Ask For Pro Help
Bridal consultants and designers have a natural eye for style and experience to help brides choose the perfect wedding bikini. Definitely consult a bridal shop or wedding gown designer on what style best suits you for your big day. Getting the opinion of an expert outside of your family or friend circle helps you get an unbiased view. A traditional wedding gown designer has worked with many brides before and can help you find out what design suits you best.
Your Curves May Be a Factor
It’s easy to fall in love with a particular style you saw on Pinterest or in a wedding magazine, but you need to ask yourself one question. Will that style or shape suit your body type? Or are there any of your outfits with that kind of style, and how does it make you look? Use what already exists in your wardrobe to help you identify the best style or design that flatters your body shape.
How Will Your Bridal Party Cope?
If you choose to wear a wedding bikini at your wedding, it means that your bridesmaids get to wear bikinis as well. It is wise to consider their opinions too. Ideally, wedding dresses are preferable, considering that flower girls should be dressed harmoniously, but also to bring out their playful side. Here, you need to consider the consequences of the event. For instance what if one of the flower girls, or children in attendance, require a sudden Bondi rescue? Church weddings require a lot less supervision and superstition, while sexy and chic wedding wear is perfect for beach weddings. Assess the pros and cons of every style, reflect on how each makes you feel, and make a decision based on that.
Picture your Holistic Wedding Appearance
Revisit each style and try it on with all the necessary accessories, including the heels, which of course should be replaced by thongs, or flip-flops to those in British colonies. Compare every look, pick your favourites, then narrow down your options. With a list of the features you prefer, it will be easy to decide.
Trust your Instinct
If you would like to bring on something new, go for it. It is about revealing how you feel about your wedding day. You can also go for a custom outfit or have two options to surprise your wedding guests. Also make sure you google “best beaches for weddings” because you don’t want to book it for 3pm when every day a howling sea breeze comes in. That can really ruin the social media management aspects of your big day.
You Do, or You Don’t
If you are unsure of what style works best for you, rely on expert advice. Also, go for what you love as it is your day.
