Summer weddings or beach weddings are the perfect opportunity to invest in a pretty summer dress that is not so  formal and stiff. The idea of wearing pretty dresses offers you as the bride or bridesmaid the chance to wear it again if you so wish. Dresses that are light, airy, colorful and unstructured are more suited to this type of weddings, and when it comes to length you can opt for a soft mini dresses to floor swishing maxi dress. I personally would avoid wearing black dress.

The items that I have picked offers the opportunity to show a bit of skin even if it’s just a bare shoulder. Though I have to say that searching the internet for outfits as a tall bride for a less formal dresses wasn’t that easy. I have managed to pick pieces from Long Tall Sally summer range. Let me know your thoughts and any other shopping gems that you have shopping as a tall bride, wedding guest or bridesmaid.

The important outfit in the wedding is that of the bride as all eyes will be on her. The dress featured below is from Long Tall Sally. It’s a long crinkle cream maxi dress with halter neckline and moulded cup. This dress could serve as your main dress or as a second dress for the wedding reception. Priced at £100, it’s a budget friendly wedding dress.
