Wedding Guest Dresses for a Formal Beach Wedding

A formal beach wedding calls for sophisticated yet breezy dresses that balance elegance with comfort. Light fabrics, refined silhouettes, and a touch of vibrant color or unique detailing create a polished seaside vibe. Think flowing gowns, luxe textiles, and a nod to beachy charm, all while remaining suitable for a formal setting. If you have preferences for colors, sleeve length, or a favorite silhouette, let me know for more tailored suggestions!
