Beach wedding dresses

Beach wedding dresses are the lightest part of the DAMA Couture collection: chiffon, fine lace and fluid satin instead of heavy silk. The silhouettes run from a soft A-line through straight boho cuts to narrow mermaid shapes.

Bodices work with open backs, off-the-shoulder and V necklines or thin straps, and for cooler evenings there are detachable sleeves, tulle capes and boleros. Alongside floor-length gowns there are short models that also suit a registry office and the party afterwards.

These dresses are bought at a partner boutique in your area.

Choose a dress for your celebration by the sea

Picture the way you want to arrive, the place where you will stand and the celebration afterwards. Beach wedding dresses can be short or long, close-fitting or full through the skirt. Start with the shape you like and consider how it will work with your plans.

Fabric, lining and how the dress feels

A fabric name does not tell you the weight or feel of the whole gown. Touch the fabric, look at the lining and walk in the dress. Compare how it falls and how it feels to wear. Our boho wedding dresses offer another starting point if you are drawn to a relaxed look.

Think about the ground and the hem

Will you walk across sand, along a jetty or onto a terrace? Discuss those details at your fitting, with the shoes you plan to wear. If you are considering a shorter hem, explore our short wedding dresses. For a gown with a train, ask how it can be handled through the day.

A veil or an extra layer by the sea

If you would like a veil, think about the breeze as well as the length. Try it with the dress and ask how it is secured and removed. A jacket, bolero or cape may give you another look for the evening; your boutique can advise on suitable combinations.

Plan your fitting and your journey

Contact a DAMA partner boutique with your favourite models and check which samples are available. Discuss your wedding date, travel plans, size and any alterations there. The boutique places your order with DAMA and can advise on carrying your chosen dress.
