21 beach wedding guest dresses perfect for destination ceremonies

Destination weddings don't always call for the best beach wedding guest dresses, in fact if you're wondering what to wear to a summer wedding abroad then there's a whole host of options, but if you are in fact headed to a sandy resort, you've landed in the right place.

As well as booking your flights (and a hotel or Airbnb), finding the right wedding guest dress is up there with one of the most important to-dos. And it isn’t as simple as you might first think.

Beach weddings are generally more laid-back affairs than their church or registry office counterparts, so the dress code will naturally sway that way too. Instead of structured silhouettes and thicker fabrics like satin twill, jacquard or taffeta, focus on loose, floaty styles that will reflect the overall vibe of the occasion (and, hopefully, the weather).

You can also play with tropical prints or go for bolder colours than usual – rather than pastels think primary hues, and don't be afraid of sequins or metallic details. Imagine how they'll sparkle in those golden-hour pics.
