There’ something relaxing and romantic about getting married in a place that offers a view of the ocean, wearing comfortable but stylish beach wedding attire, feeling the gritty feel of sand on your feet, with only you and your beloved and closest family and friends nearby.

Imagine a romantic sunset wedding in Bali or some other idyllic beach setting, followed by a lovely reception in a beachfront restaurant where guests can enjoy special hors d’oeuvres, sip champagne, dance and convey good wishes. What better way for a bride to enjoy every moment than dressed in a fabulous beach wedding attire. Lovely wedding gowns suited for the beach setting may be a strapless designer gown with short train, a flowing silk chiffon dress that can go without shoes for an easy walk in the sand, a form-fitting lace dress, or an ivory Grecian-inspired gown that can make the bride look like a goddess.

There are lots of other head turning wedding looks modern-day couples who have chosen to get married in a romantic destination can choose from.

With the sun, sand and sea as backdrop, most couples exchange “I dos” dressed in simple beach wedding attire like an all-ivory suit or vest and tie for the groom to match the bride’s gown (if she wears white). Grooms may also don khakis, browns or creams in linen fabric for their beach altar dates.

Bridal attire may range from leg-baring and plunging dresses, simple one-shoulder chiffon gowns, to sexy, strapless dresses with beaded embellishment on the bodice. An empire waist gown with strapless tube top style with A-line silhouette can also look arresting.

Brides who are small busted and petite and willing to show off arms and shoulders may opt for a white wedding gown with an empire waist and pared down Grecian style. It’s best to have just basic hair ornament and simple hairdo. Curvy types may go for a simple but gorgeous strapless knee-length taffeta beach wedding dress, or a short, satin white lace dress with spaghetti straps and crystal-beaded embroidery. Strapless wedding dresses with assymetrical hemlines or elegantly draped V-neckline gown with an elegant fit may also look ravishing.

Good quality wedding fabrics like satin, tulle, and chiffon are very popular for brides choosing destination or traditional weddings.  For a tropical wedding, non-white options like a green Hawaiian wedding attire, or a sarong-type blue or orange printed dress, or yellow bikini style wedding outfit may look nice. Complement with a crown of flowers or bead necklace. For your beach wedding attire, note the quality workmanship and make sure the style suits your body type.

Beach wedding dresses can make brides look ravishing on their special day – if the dress and body type are not a mismatch. Some brides turn to beautiful women (like famous celebrities who have tied the knot in a romantic outdoor setting) for inspiration. The painful reality is that what may look good on their TV/movie idols may not suit them.

When fitting beach wedding dresses for your dream altar date, take a look at yourself in the mirror on all angles. If you’re the slim or `ruler’ type like Gwyneth Paltrow or Julia Roberts, avoid wedding dresses that are too clingy. Veer away from very loose wedding gowns, too.

Brides with an hourglass figure have a wide range of wedding gown styles to choose from for their beach altar date. Best options are wedding dresses that accentuate the bust and waist area. A beautiful wedding gown with off-shoulder or A-line style that billows or sways with the cool breeze as the bridal entourage walks down the sand aisle can look stunning.

Pear-shaped brides may opt for A-line strapless wedding dresses instead of body-hugging mermaid style wedding gowns. Beaded sandals (or flipflops embellished with a gem) may complete the look. Most brides simple choose a stylish colored dress complemented by an attractive tan. Beach wedding dresses may be short, tea-length, or long and flowing and with a hint of a train.

As for ladies who are neither bottom-heavy nor top-heavy but just right, and have shapely arms and graceful necks worth flaunting, sleek and sexy informal wedding dresses with halter neckline can look stunning. Colors may range from traditional white to pastels or vibrant colors that can make a bride look like an island seductress. When choosing the wedding dress color, opt for one that harmonizes with your skin tone, and also consider what time of day you will be walking down the aisle and proceeding with the beach wedding reception.

A white strapless chiffon dress with bow accent or with sexy lace-up back, or casual but elegant separates in taffeta, with beaded trim on the bodice, can add to a heavenly vision of bridal beauty. Brides just need to make sure they have adequate beauty rest and eat well before the wedding ceremony to look naturally radiant.

While lots of informal wedding dresses are presented by wedding apparel designers, many are just too poofy or frilly, and not suited for the laidback natural setting of the beach. Brides with keen fashion taste may find lovely and appropriate beach wedding dresses by reading bridal magazines and catalogs and searching online for fuss-free, comfortable and stylish options.

So your beach wedding’s set, your sexy bridesmaids have fitted their shimmering colored strapless short dresses, and you’re ready to say “I do” in a breezy organza halter-style wedding gown, and the groom and groomsmen are ready to don their light colored men’s beach wedding shirts in linen.

You cast admiring glances at the guys who will be participating in your wedding. Khaki, white or natural color shirts with front embroidery design sure look great on them. Picking out beach wedding attire for the groom and groomsmen can be a breeze, if people know where to look. A quick browse of online stores offering quality men’s beach wedding shirts may be a good start. It presents many great possibilities.

Modern couples opt for easy-to-wear style, elegance and practicality all rolled into one when selecting wedding outfits for key participants. For destination or beach weddings, there’s a wide range of fabric blends, colors, and styles of menswear to choose from.

Just like bridal outfits, men’s wedding attire may be customized. Terrific options for men include sexy and sleek Italian designs with tailored sleeves and body. Dashing grooms with well-built bodies will look handsome in safari style linen shirt with mandarin collar flap. What’s great men’s beach wedding shirts in linen is they’re not only appropriate for the beach setting but can feel bouncy, ultra soft and comfortable for the groom.

Elegantly tailored long-sleeved shirts that are casual yet classy at the same time, in bamboo and cotton material, are also great options. Designer men’s shirts in lightweight cotton are the safest bets. The style and color will just have to be carefully selected so as not to clash with the bride’s beach wedding attire. Brides, for their part, may choose a certain theme not just for their attire but the overall wedding scene. She may look to the wilderness for inspiration, or sea animals (and use seashells, starfish, sea turtles for the wedding reception table and other wedding ornaments). Or she may opt for an exotic nature or romantic gypsy theme.

Most 21^st century grooms want to look fashionable and dashing on their wedding day, and designers and apparel distributors realize this. They’ve come out with quality menswear and accessories that match varying personalities and style requirements.  A groom may opt for a simple white shirt with a detail like a beautiful embroidered palm tree in a lower corner of the apparel, or a long-sleeved shirt that’ll be untucked and comes with a relaxing, crease-free fit. Let your guy stand out on the big day by checking out quality men’s beach wedding shirts.

Although it is not required for the bride to change her last name, most people choose to take their husband’s last name after they are married as a significant way to show that they are united in marriage. Some brides choose to keep their maiden name as a family tradition, if they are the last in their family line, or their name has a strong reputation as a public figure. Some other popular options if you want to preserve your maiden name are to hyphenate it or to take your maiden name as your new middle name. Whatever you decide to do, changing your name can seem very overwhelming and one more task to add to your wedding planning to-do list.

The last thing to prepare for this change is to get organized and make sure you have any important documents you may need such as your social security card and passport.

Once you return from your honeymoon, your marriage license should be processed and ready for you to pick up. Be sure to get multiple copies since some institutions require and original certified copy of your marriage license as proof of your identity and name change.

The process may vary by country or state so be sure to look up what requirements you need to follow for yourself.

Changing your name can be a long process so take it one step at a time in order to not get frustrated. Don’t let it stress you out thinking about it before your wedding or on your honeymoon. Enjoy being a newlywed and relax. Here is one fun and very useful thing you can do while enjoying your honeymoon –practice your new signature because you will use it a lot when you come back.
