The Best Casablanca Bridal Gowns for Beach and Destination Weddings!
We all know Joe Jonas is a fan of Cake By The Ocean. However, it looks like these days, more and more brides are wanting to eat their wedding cake by the ocean, too. Just how many weddings are destination weddings? A recent survey from the experts at The Knot cites that 20% of couples are choosing to fly the coop for their nuptials. If this sounds like you, browse through twelve of our favorite wedding dresses for beach weddings. These casual, comfortable and relaxed styles make great options to pack with you for an elopement or full on destination wedding.
Style 2281 Forsythia
If you are all about lace wedding dresses, Style 2281 Forsythia makes a great lacy option for beach brides, with its breezy comfort created by a combination of light perfecting satin and cotton lace appliques. Beautiful without being fussy, Style 2281 is available in a Caramel/Nude/Ivory color combination that is reminsicent of sandy hues, making it a perfect beach gown.
Style 2252 Hyacinth
If Forsythia is a little too delicate for your taste, give Hyacinth a try. Similar in color combination and the strapless, sweetheart, fit and flare silhouette to 2281, Style 2252 contains a heavier textured, larger scale lace pattern, along with an illusion back. As the Hyacinth bride strolls through the sand and surf, the beaded belt will catch the sun and sparkle magnificently.
Style 1979
It only makes sense that our Exotic Escape collection would containt plenty of getaway wedding gowns, and Style 1979 is no exception. With the low, open back, exposed shoulders and halter neck silhouette, this dress is ready for a wedding by the ocean.
Style 2241 Heather
Speaking of halter neck wedding dresses that are perfect for a summer wedding, Style 2241 Heather is another great option. A two piece silhouette is the perfect bridal style for the beach, but if exposing a touch of midriff is not your thing, you can always take a leaf out of Casablanca Bride Carol's book, and customize your Style 2241 to be a one piece gown instead.
Style 2169S
A round up of our best destination wedding dresses would not be compete without a short style. Casablanca Bridal 2169S ends above the knee, but the short hemline is balanced out by a long lace sleeve. As it relates, this gown is available in a long version for winter beach brides, or other types of weddings and seasons.
Style 2153
The patterns of the floral Gossamer lace of our low back wedding dress Style 2153 are almost tropical in their shape and silhouette, and the beautiful plunging V-neck would be right at home in the surf and sand. Casablanca Bride Allison can attest to this being a great option for a destination wedding, as she wore her customized version for her Mexico resort ceremony.
Style 2172
Style 2172 is the gown for brides looking for a spaghetti strap, empire waist beach wedding gown. The lightly beaded bodice will sparkle in the sun, but the soft tulle and silky charmeuse keep it perfectly lightweight enough. Casablanca Bride Stacey had such a romantic destination wedding in her customized 2172!
Style 2205
This babydoll silhouette floats lightly along with the bride who wears it, and the simple yet sophisticated nature of the gown makes it a great choice for weddings all around the world. To really get an idea of how this gown works in a waterfront environment, take a look at Elizabeth and Anthony's Tybee Island beach wedding, for which she wore a 2205 with a custom corset back, which you can see more of here.
Style 1989
Seeking the perfect low back wedding gown for a beach wedding? Style 1989, another Exotic Escape option, offers the perfect shape. If the front silhouette is not exactly what you had in mind for your dream dress, do not forget that you can always customize it to look like any of our other gowns!
Style 2210
This silky sheath gown is definitely a seductive and stunning bridal dress to wear for a wedding in a tropical destination. The floral lace appliques over luxe silky charmeuse create a fabric combination that is highly easy to move in, so that you can dance into the sunset with your lover in whatever fabulous wedding venue that you find! Let Jenny and Rob be your inspiration.
Style 2157
The stately silhouette of Style 2157 is a wonder of asymmetrical ruching. The slim A-line silhouette is comprised of a lightweight silky charmeuse. The simple shape and unassuming detailing makes the perfect canvas to accessorize with lots of tropical florals and sparkling jewels for a stunning look to wear at a wedding by the seaside.
Style 1975
Some gowns never go out of style, and Style 1975 is definitely one of them. We've seen our Style 1975 travel all around the world, but one of our favorite destination wedding examples was Priscilla and Chris' intimate Italian destination wedding, which you can find more of here.
