3 Bridal Outfits for a Destination Wedding
Still obsessing over Sofia Richie’s French Riviera wedding? With the promise of warm weather, photogenic views and a convivial out-of-office mood among your guests, destination weddings are a tempting option for any couple – made more alluring, still, by the myriad bridal outfit-change opportunities they present. If you’re opting to wed abroad, you’ll likely be inviting your guests to multiple days’ worth of celebrations, which means you’ll need the wardrobe to match.
The Welcome-Party Look
Whether you call it a welcome reception or a rehearsal dinner, it’s customary to greet your guests on the wedding eve – but don’t get ahead of yourself! You’ll want to save some wow-factor for the main event, so if you’re wearing white, stick to dresses that feel glamorous yet casual and comfortable on a warm day. If you’re planning to wear heels the next day, you may want to opt for flats and sandals here – your feet will thank you in the morning.

Getting cold feet? Far from it. Elegant footwear – from classic Manolo Blahnik to something-blue Amina Muaddi – will stand you in good stead on your big day and beyond.
The Ceremony Look
Typically, destination wedding dresses tend to fall in the realms of ‘boho’ or beachy – but you needn’t let that dictate your style. Silk-chiffon goddess gowns by Huishan Zhang and Zuhair Murad offer once-in-a-lifetime beauty, while The Row’s floor-sweeping slip oozes understated elegance and Blumarine’s cut-out dress is a glamorous option for the modern bride.
