When the venue is a sandy seashore, take your pick from our edit of floaty, festive beach wedding guest dresses. Fanciful attire for such a tropical celebration can be a little more challenging to shop for than, say, a black-tie wedding, but the right dress can do it all. So how does one put together a celebration-worthy ensemble when getting sand in your shoes is inevitable?

Well, for starters, don’t worry about shoes. In this case, sandals, fancy flats, or going barefoot are both totally OK. Let your outfit do all of the talking. Count on the power of vibrant colors to elevate casual, breathable fabrics—like the lightweight linen on Agua by Agua Bendita’s dress. If you’re looking for even more drama, think ruffled glamour like the hem on Carolina Herrera’s floral rock and Emilio Pucci's bold prints. The breezy silhouettes will take flight and do the work of helping you win best-dressed attendee as gusts of wind whirl in from the sea.
