I am having a beach theme wedding in St. Louis. MO since we can’t have a real beach wedding with all of our family there. I bought a dress that I think is more formal than I had originally wanted, but its THE dress! It has alot of bead work on the top but is still real flowy, the style is a mori lee 2105. I found dresses for my girls before I found my dress and they are sun dresses that are white with blue and green shades of floweres that has a criss cross top with blue ribbon accent. Will they go ok together? the white in their dress is not as white as the white in my dress. I have thought about the guys just wearing a nice dress shirt and khaki’s and the groom wear a coat over his. and the ceremony is at a place called the Piper Palm House, so its still exotic and beautiful. I’m not a fancy person, I am not a dress person, I am a casual down to earth person. what should I do about the dresses???? honestly is what I need now! Thank you
i think it will look beautiful…you can always change into a less formal dress for the reception

Maybe you could buy some fancier accents to go with them. Like sparkly pins for the waistline, jewelry or hairpieces that would dress them up a little to make them more formal.

its fine for you to have a formal dress and then not. its YOUR special day, you deserve to stand out (in a good way) and like the girl above me said: you can always change out of it for the party

You can make all this work. No need to chanfge dresses now. You can glam them up just a bit with hair and jewelry. You are the one who will shine that day. Thats no problem. Best wishes

I would keep the formal dress, but change into something more causal latter. Formal attire for the ceremony shows respect for the groom, the guests, and the person performing the ceremony for you.

I am getting married on a beach, and I am a down to earth gal. The wedding will be pretty laid back, and not Cinderella-ish at all, but my gown is pretty fancy, and sooo lovely. I got the dress I wanted, because in the end, I will only marry once, and this is the dress that made me go nuts, and so what? Nobody’s going to be hurt by me wearing this dress…get the dress you love.

That’s totally fine. I had a very formal, traditional gown – all embellished, beaded, etc – like you, not what I planned – but what I fell in LOVE with and looked and felt amazing in, and my attendants wore beautiful summery printed tealength dresses – and it was a church wedding.
Stick with the gorgeous dress you love! Shine and sparkle!
