If you are unsure of what to wear to a Caribbean wedding, you're not alone. The problem with tropical weddings is the fashions can range to anything from comfort and simplicity to lavish elegance. Generally, you want to feel comfortable though, lighter dresses, sandals, even flowers in your hair will help you fit right into the tropical atmosphere.

Caribbean wedding dresses
There is a wide range of dresses to choose from for your caribbean wedding. They can range anywhere from barely there pieces of clothing paired with a sarong or pareo, and fresh island flowers neatly tucked into your hair, to beautiful gowns with tiaras and veils. You can even combine the two, wear a nice ceremonial dress, but keep that barely there bikini hidden underneath for you to reveal when the time is right. Remember, this is a tropical climate, so while you want to look nice, you also want to dress comfortable, and enjoy the warm tropical sun.

Feel free to experiment with colors, coming up with the perfect look to compliment your bride and groom.
