Bridesmaid Dresses For Beach Weddings

After you have found your dream wedding gown, it is time to start shopping for the perfect dresses for your bridesmaids. Keep in mind the season, the location, and your wedding colors as you are perusing through the shops in search of that one style that will please all concerned. These are some suggestions on beautiful bridesmaid dresses for beach weddings.

For any outdoor wedding, light fabrics will be most appropriate. Among the best beach fabrics are chiffon, organza, and cotton. If you like texture in your bridesmaid dresses, you may also enjoy seersucker, linen, and eyelet. Keep color in mind, as well. The best hues for a wedding on the sand are light or bright. In other words, no long black satin bridesmaid dresses for your beach wedding, no matter how much your attendants beg for a dress they can wear again!

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Angela Proffitt and Whitney Lowery are two wedding planners from Nashville, Tenn., who are anxious to bring some brides and grooms to Indian River County.

The two are part of the tourism trip this week for 40 wedding consultants to show what the area has to offer for couples planning their upcoming nuptials.

The trip was co-sponsored by the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, along with Costa d’Este Beach Resort, Vero Beach Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. All of the planners were at Costa d’Este for lunch on Thursday and will conclude their trip with brunch at Disney on Friday morning.

“We wanted to visit the three resorts and bring our findings back to our clients,” said Proffitt, who is the owner of Elegant Weddings By Angela in Nashville.

Proffitt said she handles between 50 and 80 weddings each year, and that her typical destination wedding client spends upwards of $50,000 for their big day.

“We’ve had a great experience seeing everything that this area has to offer,” said Proffitt. “Although there was a lot of stuff packed into a short amount of time, I think it was very smart for the hotels to work together as a team on this type of trip.”
