A v-neck dress is flattering on anyone, and draws attention to the décolletage without being too revealing, which is key for a wedding ceremony. Shop this H&M dress for your next beach wedding.

A classic green dress is great for any wedding, but just make sure you choose the correct shade. A darker green is more suited to autumn and winter weddings, while a lighter green (such as this one from M&S) is better for spring and summer.

A wedding guest dress isn't hard to find when it comes to River Island. The brand is known for illustrious maxi and midi dresses without the expensive price tag, and this halter neck is no exception.
What colours should I wear for a beach wedding?
Embrace the seaside vibes with soft pastels like blush pink and sky blue, or opt for earthy tones such as sand and sage green - especially if it's a spring wedding guest dress you're after. You could, however, opt for slightly bolder dress colours such as orange and red if the wedding is taking place during the height of summer.
What shoes do I wear to a beach wedding?
Pair chic sandals or elegant wedges with midi and maxi wedding guest dresses, especially when it comes to sandy terrain. We'd suggest that you avoid stilettos or anything with a thin heel that might sink into the sand.
What should I wear to a beach wedding that is not a dress?
Looking for an alternative to a dress for a beach wedding? Consider a stylish jumpsuit or a breezy maxi skirt paired with a sophisticated top, if a free flowing dress just isn't your cup of tea.
