For a certain Summer bride, dressing for the beach isn't about a go-to bikini. It's all about finding the right dress to celebrate her big day in the sand and surf. While there's just something so breezy and romantic about saying "I do" over the soft lull of crashing waves, finding an outfit that will survive the day can prove to be a headache. High heels won't survive a walk through the sand, and a structured dress can feel too stiff for the relaxed atmosphere. Which is why a soft, floaty boho style is a simple solution to any seaside wedding dress woes.

Before you get overwhelmed, stop, breathe, and imagine the photos of your dreamy gown blowing in the salty breeze. Once your toes touch the sand, all the work will be forgotten, and you can truly focus on saying "I do." Read on for stunning style inspiration for your beachside big day plus pin-worthy dresses perfect for the occasion.
