Elegant Gowns for a Luxurious Seaside Wedding

Modern Wedding Posted: November 30, 2017

M A K I N G   W A V E S

Fall in love with an opulent take on oceanic style. Inspired by the laid-back luxury of the European seaside, we set sail to discover the most intricate and illustrious new designs. Taste the wild salty air, feel the sun on your back and drink in the sound of the rolling waves. Anchors away!

Gown, neckpiece & gloves: Goddess by Nature / Jewellery: Pandora / Groom’s attire: Sweethearts Bridal Boutique

The type of wedding dress you choose will influence a number of elements for your wedding. For example, if you chose a full-length ballgown, you are setting the tone for a more formal affair, whereas bridal separates can create a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

So the big question is, how do you choose a dress that will suit a seaside wedding? Too often, brides are hesitant to pick a beach theme because they feel it’s been done too many times or it’s not possible to be elegant while there’s a chance of guests dipping their feet in the water. We’ve found the solution: find inspiration in the breathtaking European vistas at places like Lake Como, Nice and Monaco and channel timeless elegance from stars of the silver screen.

We’ve created this fresh bridal fashion shoot inspired by the European seaside with a stunning array of diverse wedding gowns that will suit a timeless wedding with ocean views. These wedding dresses are refined yet relaxed. It’s classy bridal fashion that’s suited to setting sail on a luxury motor yacht.
