Our wedding is beach formal — think elegant but comfortable enough for sand and sea breeze. Suggestions: Formal dresses, jumpsuits, slacks, button-downs, suits in light, breathable fabrics. Dressy sandals, wedges, block heels, loafers or dress shoes are ideal (no stilettos, as events are on sand and lawn).
