Beach Elopement Wedding Dress

Megan, on February 10, 2022 at 3:47 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21
We are eloping on a tropical beach in June and I am wrestling between these two wedding dresses. The ivory dress I would pair with a pink veil, the blue tulle dress would actually be pink. We’re casual and laid back and it’s just us but I still want to wear a beautiful dress 😂 opinions are APPRECIATED

    These are both beautiful but the first one gives me more beachy vibes!

    Me too!!! Do you have a large bust though? The spaghetti straps might dig into your shoulders if the top of that dress carries a lot of weight.

    Thank you everyone! With the first one, I would likely alter it to have the off the shoulder sleeves like the second- I love that romantic look Smiley love (and as another mentioned, I'm busty... I want to be comfy not dug into lol!)

    Oh, they're both super cute, and I love the pink element! I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either!

    Love the first one! If you need a backup that's large-bust friendly, I got a similar dress from Lulu's for our civil ceremony - not on a beach but it definitely felt beachy and would've worked for that setting as it's very lightweight and flowy. It's a little more casual than the one you have your eye on and I did need to add a "modesty panel" between the cups using some of the sheer fabric they trimmed off when altering for my height, but after that it worked perfectly. It was called the "Ocean of Elegance" dress - not on Lulu's anymore but I still see it on Poshmark a lot. I don't have many photos back from that ceremony yet, but here's the dress from Lulu's website and little example of how I altered it.

    I vote the pink tulle dress. It looks more soft and romantic.

    I almost got the first dress! I love it, but funny enough kept thinking how much I wish I was getting married at a beach setting vs mountains so i could wear this dress. It screams beachy and easy, flowy, gorgeous!

    This is the only reason I wish we were having a wedding ceremony and reception, I’d buy both I suck at decision making 😂😂🤣


    I’m trying on the first one at DB next Saturday and talking to the designer of the 2nd to see the deadline to order to have it in time- then… I guess square one of deciding 😂

    They're both lovely, but for these circumstances, you have to go blue! I think it would make the whole "eloping at the beach" all the more fitting. Smiley smile

    Update: the dress I custom ordered was canceled due to it being a custom ordered dress and the seamstress lives on the Ukraine/Russia border. Obviously, their safety is 100% more important than the dress so I’m not too upset.


    Someone mentioned a Lulu’s dress on here and by sheer luck I found one in my size on Poshmark (the day my order was canceled!) which I snagged. Photo is not me, but this is the dress. Beach Elopement Wedding Dress 5
