The Tamesis
Summer wedding season is just around the corner, which means your invitations are probably already arriving. As you admire the design, your eyes may instinctively jump to the wedding location and realize you’re getting married by the sea. Immediately, the question arises: What to wear? With more moody climates to consider, some planning is needed to match your beach wedding guest outfits—and that’s where we come in.

The answer starts with the destination itself. The shores of Ibiza, Jamaica and Nantucket each evoke distinct emotions, and with them, different ways of dressing. Just as important are the details that shape the celebration: the dress code, the exact location, even the time of day. Together, these elements set the tone and help define the perfect look for the occasion. After all, a sandy dance floor requires a very different shoe strategy than a reception on a stone patio, if shoes are indeed required.
Good news? The dress code for a beach wedding is one of the most interesting invitations your wardrobe can receive: it’s lighter, brighter, and decidedly more fun than a traditional formal wedding. Whether you’re heading to Rio de Janeiro, the sun-drenched shores of Puglia, or the idyllic coastline of Hydra, we’ve rounded up a collection of inspiring outfit ideas to ensure you’re dressed to the nines for your next seaside celebration.
