    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.
