The 19 Best Beach Bridesmaid Dresses for a Seaside Ceremony

Best Overall

Jenny Yoo Renee Dress

View On Jennyyoo.com

Bridal stylist Gabrielle Hurwitz loves this streamlined gown and so do we, thanks to its simple spaghetti straps, straight neckline, and flowy chiffon skirt. We think the Bluebell, Sea Glass and Chartreuse shades would look especially beautiful for a beach wedding, but this design comes in an impressive 42 colors total to suit any aesthetic. Jenny Yoo is a wonderfully size-inclusive brand, as well, with sizes starting at 00 and going up to 32.

Best Size-Inclusive

Kennedy Blue Luca Dress

View On Kennedyblue.com

Whether you’re envisioning blues, pinks, or neutrals for your beach bridesmaid dresses, Kennedy Blue has got you covered. Its full chiffon skirt will blow beautifully in the seaside breeze, and its sleeves will help protect your bridesmaids’ shoulders from the bright sun. We’re so impressed with the size range Kennedy Blue offers, which means everyone in your bridal party will be able to find a perfect fit. Your bridesmaids can also order a sample ahead of time to see if they like the fit.

Best Convertible

Birdy Grey August Convertible Dress

View On Birdygrey.com

A convertible dress can make a bride’s life so much easier, meaning your bridesmaids can wear the exact same dress, yet still have some say in their wedding-day outfits. This one can be worn three ways: strapless, with thin straps, or with detachable off-the-shoulder sleeves. The fabric is lightweight enough for the beach, and it comes in a range of seaside-friendly colorways. The leg slit adds a little intrigue, too.

Best With Sleeves

Revelry Cora Chiffon Dress

View On Shoprevelry.com

Revelry is another bridesmaid shop with an inclusive size range, which will always score points in our book—not to mention this dress comes in three lengths, for those who are petite or tall. We’ve fallen for this delicate chiffon style, with its ruffled sleeves, double waistband, and low leg slit. The mesh panel also comes in three different colors to match your skin tone. We’re particularly eyeing up the Desert Rose and Latte shades for a beach wedding.

Best Strapless

Shona Joy La Lune Strapless Knot Maxi Dress

View On Revolve View On Shonajoy.com

Hurwitz recommends this glamorous pick from Shona Joy, which will have your bridesmaids looking like total goddesses. The strapless bodice comes together in a pretty knot, but the rest of the design is quite simple, letting the five metallic shades speak for themselves. This dress would look absolutely stunning for a sunset beach wedding, glimmering at golden hour.

Best Off the Shoulder

Show Me Your Mumu Caitlin Ruffle Dress

View On Showmeyourmumu.com

With its flowy bodice, this dress is made for the beach. Thanks to the thin straps, you don’t have to worry about the strapless design falling down. Every shade is on theme, and the collection even includes three pretty floral prints. 

Price starting at: $78

Size Range: XXS-3X | Colors: 23 | Material: Polyester | Length: Full

Best One-Shoulder

Fame and Partners Lea Dress

View On Fameandpartners.com

With its cutout design, this one-shoulder dress feels right at home in a seaside setting. Constructed from light georgette crêpe fabric, it’s breezy enough for a warm day. We love how you can customize dresses from Fame & Partners by inputting your height and heels to ensure you get the right length on the first pass.

Size Range: 0-22 | Colors: 41 | Material: Polyester  | Length: Full

Best Asymmetrical

Windsor Tiffany Sleeveless High Slit Formal Dress

View On Windsorstore.com

The high slit on this dress allows your bridesmaids to have more freedom of movement, which helps them avoid any sticky (well, sandy) situations. The spaghetti straps and fitted bodice are classically beautiful, and the ruffle turns an otherwise simple dress into something a little more special, but at a really reasonable price. Yes, please.

Price at the time of publish: $46

Size Range: XS-XL | Colors: 7 | Material: Polyester, Spandex | Length: High-Low

Best Halter

Show Me Your Mumu Jasmine Halter Maxi Dress

View On Showmeyourmumu.com

Satin is pretty much always a good idea for bridesmaid dresses, but pair it with a criss-cross halter neck and backless design, and you have a sure winner. Beyond those details, this maxi dress is a no-fuss slip that comes in a range of beach-ready tones—the Champagne and Dusty Purple versions are turning our heads. This one is another of Hurwitz’ faves for beach bridesmaids, and we definitely see why.

Best V-Neck

Lulus Heavenly Hues Maxi Dress

View On Lulus

Lulus proves once again that it’s an amazing destination for more affordable bridesmaid dresses. We’re big fans of the deep V and wide waistband on this georgette number, and we can already picture it floating in the wind. Try it in Magenta, Forest Green, or Marigold Yellow for your oceanside ceremony.

Best Open Back

Reformation Andee Dress

View On Reformation

Romantic brides are a perfect match for this lightweight gown with not one but two bows in the back. We’re obsessed with the Andee Dress’ halter, open back, and leg slit, and we love the curated selection of colorways, too. The viscose used to make this piece is sustainably sourced, and each dress helps save 5 pounds of carbon dioxide and 46 gallons of water.

Size Range: 0-12 | Colors: 7 | Material: Viscose Georgette | Length: Full

Best Wrap

Baltic Born Steffi Tulip Wrap Dress

View On Balticborn.com

Coming in at a great budget-friendly price, this midi wrap is a dance floor dream, thanks to its layered high-low skirt. Between the wrap style and the adjustable straps, the sizing can easily be altered by each bridesmaid for a perfect fit—and it’s even suitable for maternity wear. We’re loving the Emerald shade here, but the florals would also look gorgeous for your beach wedding.

Best Midi

BHLDN Cali Satin Cowl-Neck Midi Slip Dress

View On Anthropologie

Beyond its entrancing shade names (Champagne or Sedona, anyone?), this is such a sleek and elegant satin slip dress. The simple straps and fitted skirt keep it understated, while the cowl neck and double slit lend it a little personality. This is an amazing midi option for bridesmaids who are nervous about getting their dresses sandy.

Best Floral

Sachin & Babi Kayla Gown in Pastel Sunset Hydrangea

View On Sachinandbabi.com

Sachin & Babi’s Pastel Sunset Hydrangea print is one of Hurwitz’ top picks, and it’s calling your name if you’re getting married somewhere in the Pacific. That said, the Kayla gown also comes in a few other floral prints and some solids, too. We love its halter neck, ribbon detail, and the way the skirt moves when you walk.

Best Lace

Lulus Madalyn Lace Maxi Dress

View On Lulus

The lace bodice on this bridesmaid dress makes it a great fit for a spring beach wedding (try it in Blush or Lavendar) or for fall (when it would look gorgeous in Burgundy or Navy). It’s perfect if you love a lace accent but aren’t willing to commit to the full lace look, since the skirt is made from smooth chiffon.

Best with Ruffles

Mac Duggal Ruffle Shoulder Lace Up Gown

View On Nordstrom View On Macduggal.com View On Saks Fifth Avenue

For brides with a penchant for the dramatic, Hurwitz recommends this incredible ruffle-embellished gown, which comes in equally show-stopping tones like Hot Pink, Sunshine and Mint, all of which would look stunning on beach bridesmaids. The sweetheart neckline, side cutouts, and tiered full skirt all ensure your bridal party will make a definite splash on the day.

Best Mermaid-Inspired

Azazie Adaly Dress

View On Azazie.com

Not only does this gown from Azazie feature a mermaid-style skirt, but the sweetheart bodice is also embellished with lace that wouldn’t look out of place on Halle Bailey’s Ariel. Go full mermaid with the Peacock or Royal Blue shades, or keep it classic with a Dusty Rose or Taupe. It’s without a doubt the ultimate beach bridesmaid dress.
