Where to Find Pretty Dresses That Belong at a Beach Wedding
When it comes to finding the prettiest dress suitable for a beach wedding, you can always count on a few Australian and international labels to deliver the goods. Living in the beautiful, sunny country that we do, weddings that are held on the beach or within viewing distance of the ocean are hugely popular, meaning finding a dress suitable for a coastal locale will be an investment.
Whether your personal style is minimalist and monochrome, ultra-feminine, or if you just prefer to opt for flattering neutral basics, we've got our go-to bookmarks that we'd like to share with you to help your wedding season search. These labels and designers are not just plucked out randomly, these are the trusted brands our editors shop time and time again for the special pieces that we want to be photographed in (time and time again).
For ease of comfort, go for lighter fabrics, and don't be afraid to pair your dress with beautiful flats despite the formal occasion. Let your dress and accessories do the talking, and less is definitely more.
Keep scrolling to find out the best places to find pretty dresses suitable for a beach wedding.
The UNDONE
If you're ready to splurge on a beautiful minimal staple, The UNDONE is your best bet. You also can trust that Sara Donaldson has personally curated the selection on the online store, stocking a range of quality brands and designers, such as Dion Lee, Christopher Esber, KitX, and Ellery.

This Australian icon doesn't need much of an introduction. You can guarantee everyone will be complimenting you on your Zimmermann dress for years to come, and you'll find any excuse to re-wear it for any upcoming event. This is your go-to designer if you like romantic and absolutely stand-out pieces.
Christy Dawn
For a more casual take and your go-to for affordable pieces, Christy Dawn stocks basic and femimine dresses that are flattering for a range of body types. You'll find printed wrap dresses and cotton summer dresses in a range of neutral colours. Although they are simple, they are easily dressed up with beautiful accessories.
