Consider this the ultimate cool girl beach wedding dress.The sheath silhouette makes it super easy to move around in, and the side cutouts will help keep you comfortable in warmer temps. Now can we talk about those ruffles? Très beach chic.
Dress by Costarellos
Not all beach wedding dresses have slim silhouettes — you can definitely rock a dress with a fuller skirt if that's your style! This lacy A-line gown is beachy and romantic, thanks to the bustier top and tiered skirt that give us total princess vibes.
Dress by Savannah Miller
Lace not your thing? No problem. Simple beach wedding dresses can be just as gorgeous, as proven by this understated gown by Savannah Miller (sister to Sienna Miller, queen of boho style). We're kind of obsessed with the beaded off-the-shoulder straps and elegant cowl neckline.
Dress by BHLDN
If you're having an early spring or late fall beach wedding when the weather will be a little cooler, consider rocking a style with long lace sleeves. A fitted silhouette and a tousled 'do will keep your overall look from feeling too formal or out of place for a beach venue.

Another option: cap sleeves. This demure sleeve, as seen on the Dean dress by Halfpenny London, looks lovely with flowy chiffon skirts and lace details.

Bring the drama with a beach wedding dress featuring an illusion lace bodice and a mermaid silhouette. The unique vine-inspired lace on this gown is perfect for boho-glam brides who want to stand out from the rest.
Dress by Galvan London
A high neckline has never looked more chic. The Clarendon gown by Galvan London is a stunning choice for the sophisticated beach bride, giving us the perfect balance of relaxed and refined elements.
Dress by Watters
If there was ever a time to strut down the aisle wearing a dress with a thigh-high slit, it's at a beach wedding! Not only does this style show off your legs (and your tan), but it allows you to wear a fun pair of shoes. We love practical lace-up sandals or a colorful pair of wedges.
Dress by Valentini Spose
This stunner is one of the best destination wedding dresses we've seen in a long time — for an oceanfront elopement in Tulum, perhaps? The lightweight lace makes this dress easy to wear (and pack), and the fit-and-flare shape instantly enhances what your mama gave you.
Dress by Alexandra Grecco
Oversized flowers bring an oh-so-pretty botanical vibe to this beach wedding dress. All you need is a loose updo and statement earrings to complete the romantic look!

Dress by Grace Loves Lace
Spaghetti straps, a scalloped lace neckline, and a subtle mermaid skirt...this pretty dress screams laid-back beach wedding! Fun fact: the Hart gown by Grace Loves Lace was created based on worldwide feedback from brides and grooms about the dress they'd want to see their partner walk down the aisle in.
Dress by THEIA
If you think you can't do sequins for a beach wedding, think again. This sparkling gown is a great example of how beach wedding dresses can also be glamorous and luxurious — the trick to pulling off the look is to keep the silhouette streamlined and the fabric relatively lightweight.
Dress by Demetrios
Flaunt your collarbones or your sunkissed skin with off-the-shoulder sleeves. This sexy neckline is a perfect match for a mermaid skirt, which creates an hourglass shape.
