I have a beach wedding to go to right before the season transitions into autumn, and I am thinking of appropriate attire. I actually wore this dress out to an early dinner one evening, but then pondered about possible looks for this upcoming wedding that we have to attend.
I just might add a scarf or jacket in case the cool breezes from the water kicks up the night air. (Think: Satin blazer, crop, or sheer overlay). For now, options are between this dress, a navy ribbon embellished shift dress, and a vintage lace bateau neck midi-length dress.
This year is far different from last year's wedding invites: the timeline of our 2013 weddings have been falling right into ridiculously busy moments workwise and not exactly in easy to fly to hub destinations, if I might add.
Thankfully, the upcoming one is quite like a "second wedding," since the couple secretly got married a few weeks ago. Now, they will have a joyous celebration with friends (and family) in a casual resort and "beach party" style two-day event; at least that's what the invitations said a mere five weeks ago!
Most all attending guests, like myself will be on the next flight to work the following day, a couple of guests will be moving a few days later, and another friend of mine attending will be going on holiday, so we all need to have something travel-friendly, semi-elegant, and with no-fuss styling.
Have you been to a casual wedding or beach wedding?

ReplyDeleteMost of the weddings I have been to have been from the casual side, finns are not generally huge fans of dressing up ;D

This dress is perfect for a low key beachy vibe affair. jealous they did a secret wedding.....what an adventure! Makes the after party just that, takes all the pressure off.
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks perfect for a peach wedding and that gorgeous sherbert-y color is lovely on you. Hope it's a fun wedding too!

ReplyDeletesounds like it will be a fun wedding, and i think that dress is a perfect choice for a beach wedding!
ReplyDeleteI told you on instagram--- but I will say it again here--- this look is so pretty and so are you! LOVELY!
ReplyDeletehey madison! that dress would be perfect. i've never attended one, but my aunt did. you want something lightweight, with beautiful color that flows with the wind. see why that dress is perfect? it fits all three! hahaha sometimes people wear hats (depending on the sun coverage) or a spray of flowers in their hair. it all depends on you. wishing you a wonderful time when you go doll.

Such a pretty dress! I have a beach wedding to go to too, but it's not until November!
ReplyDeleteJa, ich bin wirklich von der Frisur begeistert :) xx Rena
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! You look absolutely stunning in pink! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and romantic look! Never been to a casual wedding celebration, but feel that it would definitely be more enjoyable than a regular full on affair. At least, for me. :)

I love the idea of having a small, intimate wedding & then a bigger '2nd wedding' as a party afterwards. Such a nice idea! I think this dress is perfect for a casual beach wedding, the colour is just beautiful on you & I love the maxi length! Your hair looks really pretty up like this too :)
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks beach wedding perfect and that color is really lovely on you Madison! I'm sure the celebration will be lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend dear!

Never been to a wedding on a beach. In fact I've been to very few weddings full stop. Although a lot of my girlfriends's friends are getting married next year as are a couple of mine, so I know it's going to be busy. I'm thinking of investing in a really great suit. I love the dress and think it'll be perfect on the beach.
ReplyDeletegreat dress!

Interesting! Well, weddings in general can go either way (really good or bad), fortunately I've been to mostly great ones. Having a big party takes all of the pressure off so I'm getting excited about this beach style wedding. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the whole second weddding is a great idea. Thank you! :-) x
ReplyDeleteYou look pretty in pink ;)
ReplyDeleteXX,

Nope. Never been to a beach wedding, but if I did, I'd wear something like your outfit. Love the dress. So pretty.

It's been years since I went to a beach/destination wedding. I can't even remember what I wore which is annoying. I do think what you wore for this post would be an appropriate beach wedding outfit though and your looks perfect too.
