What should you wear to a beach wedding as a guest?
Wear a midi to maxi length dress in a natural fabric and a clear colour, with flat shoes and a wrap for the evening breeze.
Linen, cotton and light chiffon are the right fabrics for heat. Pale blue, citrus, rose and printed dresses suit beach light and photograph well against sand and sea. Leave white and ivory to the bride. A long dress needs a slit and a light skirt that will not drag in wet sand, and a hat is welcome at a daytime ceremony in full sun.
Which Aje dresses suit a daytime beach wedding?
Linen midis: the Lenix, the Tova and the Canvas are the coolest Aje shapes for heat.
The Lenix Midi Dress is 55% linen and 45% rayon in a pale ice blue, with a handkerchief hem that moves in the wind. The Tova Midi Dress in Rose Gold, a solid dusty pink, has a soft square neckline and a button front with gold sculptural buttons, in the same linen blend. The Canvas Midi Dress in Citrus, a pale lemon in linen and viscose, has a belted waist with gold buckle hardware. All three work with the Chesca Wide Brim Raffia Hat.
Which Aje dresses suit a sunset beach wedding?
Go long and floaty: the Celestine Maxi in Artic Blue and the Vionette Gown in the blue watercolour Etherea print.
The Celestine Maxi Dress falls in soft tiers of ruffles from thin straps. The Vionette Gown has a voluminous tiered skirt and sculpted ruffles at the bust, and its short sister, the Vionette Mini Dress, suits a younger guest list. The Elara Mini Dress in Multi Heirloom is the printed option, from our guide to the Aje Heirloom print.
Which Aje gowns suit an evening beach reception?
For a formal evening, choose the Sorela, the Soloist and the Canyon gowns, all full length and all new for Resort 2027.
| Gown | Shape | Colour | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sorela Gown | Halter neck, tiered ruffles, tie back | Slate (navy blue) | $1,130 |
| Soloist Gown | High neck, pintucked bodice | Etherea print | $1,130 |
| Canyon Gown | Strapless, boned bodice, front split | Green Petrol | $1,130 |
| Canyon Gown | Strapless, boned bodice, front split | Artic Blue | $1,130 |
| Vionette Gown | Tiered skirt, sculpted bust | Etherea print | $1,280 |
The Sorela’s sculptural hardware at the neck means it needs no necklace. For more long styles, read our guides to Aje formal dresses and Aje green dresses.
What shoes should you wear to a beach wedding?
Wedges and flat thongs, because heels sink into sand.
- Wedge: the Ivana Suede Wedge Thong in camel, a sculpted wedge that gives height without sinking
- Flat: the Maxine Flat Thong in tan and the Maxine Buckle Thong in ivory
- Chunky sandal: the Inda Chunky Sandal, with a velcro back strap so it stays on when you dance
Our guides to Aje sandals and slides and Aje heels cover the full range.
What bag goes with a beach wedding dress?
A small clutch for the evening and a woven crossbody for the day.
The Luna Long Clutch in ivory croc has a detachable chain strap and works with every dress above. By day, the Polish Raffia Crossbody keeps your hands free; see our guide to Aje raffia and basket bags.
For every other kind of wedding, read our full guide to Aje wedding guest dresses and our edit of Aje Resort 2027, and shop the whole label on the Aje brand page.
