If I Were a Bride, These Are the Only Swimsuits I'd Pack for a Bachelorette or Honeymoon
Swimsuits you can wear way past your bridal era.
Gone are the days when planning your wedding wardrobe was just about the dress for the big day. Lately, chic brides build out an entire capsule for their bridal era. The main dress, the after-party dress, the honeymoon pieces… and, of course, the swimwear is the final touch. The bachelorette and honeymoon are going to require building out a beachy look that is more than denim shorts and a white bikini. I'm not a bride, but if I were, I might plan my swimwear a bit more meticulously than the average person. Here's why.
For me, styling swim from the outward layer to the interior is the way to go about it. Especially on a bachelorette, you may be headed out for a boat day or cabana and will spend more time in your cover-up than just the swimsuit. Choosing the right cover-up is key, no matter if your swimwear choice leans minimalist or statement. Whether you're in your bridal era or just fancy white swimsuits, the options are plentiful below.
How to Style It
Let your bridal era be the excuse to wear anything but your usual go-to pieces. A new cover-up, cool hat, statement jewelry, and anything else you can think of should make a play here.
Don't think you're only allowed to wear white swimsuits on your special day. A print that is truly you or feels special will never fail. And who doesn't like something blue?
Without a bridal era in sight, I wore this white swimsuit in Miami. The cutouts were the highlight, and I wouldn't mind pulling something like this out again when I'm planning my big day.
Sometimes you have to let the accessories do the talking. A larger-than-life hat is worth the suitcase space it takes up—highly recommend.
Let the cover-ups be as glamorous as you'd like. I'd save my big moment for a dress like this with just the right amount of sparkle.
