Tying the knot on the sand, near the sea, calls for a bridal style that's unique to its own. Stuffy, traditional gowns need to be nixed right off the bat, but how's a girl to choose what's just right for her sunny walk down the aisle? We're loving the newest trend in the wedding dress market, making comfort one of the biggest focuses. Designers are combining more relaxed silhouettes with thoughtful details and high-end textiles. The perfect approach to a serene beach wedding, where shoes may be optional, but style is still key. Breezy chiffon, airy lace, and whispers of subtle color make these twenty frocks tops for your seaside nuptials. And we promise you'll not only be comfy, but look mega-amazing as you say your I Dos. Let's start with our #1 pick for a beach wedding - that stunning Anna Campbell beaded number above!
