Please help me find a dress for a beach wedding

39 replies

MeanwhileTime · 18/06/2019 14:40

It's literally going to be on the beach. It will be pretty informal (the bride will be wearing flip flops). And it will be hot & sticky. Ideally I would like something floaty, midi or maxi length, with short sleeves or straps (not strapless). And I would really like something in a lightweight material that won't make me all sweaty. Oh, and something that won't crease too easily either. The list is never ending Blush.

Can anyone please help me find something suitable? The wedding isn't actually until October but I don't want to leave it till then to look as all the summer clothes will be long gone. Thank you to anyone that can help.

Lovely - limited sizes as in the sale but might be available elsewhere.

....ah but not if you are not the bride , sorry misread your post..

I love this but it’s off white and depends whether the bride minds?

Oh thanks everyone. I definitely think the white dress is a no go for obvious reasons. The bride is relaxed but not that relaxed! The others are along the right sort of lines but still not quite what I had in mind. Sadly orange is not a good colour on me (nor red or salmon pink). I can wear greens, blues, purples, berry shades and most neutrals (although want to avoid black on this occasion). Budget-wise I would go up to around £150 for the right dress.

I just really want something beautiful and floaty. It's so frustrating when you know exactly the kind of thing you like but just can't find it anywhere!

I do quite like this in the white print, but am wondering if it's too white for a wedding guest? www.aspiga.com/products/lenu-maxi-cotton-dress-white

I like like this Cotton liberty slip here although very pricey for what it is. They have it in two prints.

Sorry just seen budget and the Liberty dress is over.
