So, for a beach wedding- dress question

[Bernadine]

Am I better off just going with a short dress?  I'm completely undecided.  I think I'd prefer a long dress, but I worry that it's going to get filthy at the bottom.

I would go with knee length.

Go full length, it will be fine. I would just go easy on any sort of train. I got married on the beach in a full length dress, barefoot and it didn't get any dirtier than if I was in a church. One thing to be conscious of is how heavy/hot the dress will be. I tried on a bunch of dresses that I knew would make me miserable because they would make me very hot.

Long and flowing looks stunning in pictures.
I had a long dress with a mini train and it really stayed pretty darn clean.

[wannabe]

I vote go all out. Your pictures will be amazing!

I had a long dress with a moderate train on the beach and it got a little dirty but wasn't any worse than my sister's dress from her church/reception hall wedding. Actually, I think mine was cleaner than hers was at the end of the night.

I vote long dress too. I think they look amazing in pictures of beach weddings and it probably won't get any dirtier than it would if you got married elsewhere.

I wore a long flowy dress and it was fine.

I'd also do long and say "fuckit." If it gets dirty, who cares?

so what?! it's a wedding dress! you wear it once. i wore mine pretty much exclusively indoors and it was/is a MESS.

i like the long, flowy beach look.

Whatever you want.  Who cares if it gets dirty, just do photos before

White bikini.

[underwaterrhymes]

Wear something that makes you feel beautiful. If it gets dirty and you have fun getting dirty in it that means it was an incredible wedding.

[snickers]

Knee length or short IMO, because it will probably get pretty dirty.

[ElizabethBennet]

We got married on the beach and I wore a long, flow-y dress. I loved it and I don't remember it getting particularly dirty.

[melindafelinda]

Both of my dresses got filthy at the bottom. I wanted a short dress so badly for my first wedding and I couldn't find one at the time.

So basically wear what you want and don't worry about the dirt.
