Here’s one more reason to love - even more - the Greek summer! Your friends are getting married and choosing their favorite island as the location for such a special moment. 

Sea, sun, white alleys, and the dress code for such a delightful occasion is pure joy and by no means a headache.

Beautiful colors, simple and airy lines, comfortable sandals, sparkling jewelry, sun-kissed skin, and effortless hair and makeup are the key ingredients that perfectly accompany summer weddings far from the city.

Let’s take a look together at suggestions for wedding dresses worth looking for and wearing to such a beautiful invitation. Are you ready?

With cut-outs

Cut-out dresses are in the spotlight this summer as well, since although they may seem “difficult,” if the openings — which reveal small areas of skin — are in the right places, they can be worn by many different silhouettes and look equally beautiful and impressive. In this case, the length depends on you, as you will find them from the most mini version to the longest and airiest.

Coral with ruffles

Especially for island weddings, the dress in coral shades is something of a must. Long or short, fitted or airy, it pairs perfectly with summer weddings, tanned skin, and the gold jewelry that takes center stage in summer, as well as with sandals in earthy or metallic shades.

The Ancient Greek

A dress in ancient Greek style is what we call "timeless" for summer weddings. Just be careful not to experiment with lengths! It's worth being from mid-calf and below, and definitely not in white shade so as not to be mistaken for a bride. Choose one in light pastel shades or in the color of sand with metallic details and get ready to adopt the ultimate wedding look.

Silky in shades of the sea

From light turquoise to dark blue, any shade of the sea pairs beautifully with summer weddings. There are plenty of options and you will surely have no trouble finding the perfect one for you. However, it is worth insisting a bit on the fabric and looking for something in a silky version or fabrics that resemble this texture. Thin straps or one-shoulder styles in these dresses look extremely elegant and perfect for the occasion.

The mini dress

For you who rock the short length, it goes without saying that you should insist on such a choice. There are no limitations and you can show up at the wedding with a tight mini dress that elegantly embraces your curves, a mini dress in A-line and puffy sleeves for a more unique style, or a mini dress with floral patterns and airy ruffles. Set the mood and let the tiny dress follow you in this.

The floral

Okay, if you don’t wear a floral dress to a summer wedding, when will you wear it? From the most airy version to the more structured ones with an off-shoulder aesthetic, it is a very impressive choice. A dress with printed patterns in cool pastel shades will definitely win impressions, and you will feel extremely comfortable in it!

The strapless

Let’s talk now about a dress that literally belongs to summer. A dress that leaves the shoulders uncovered and the upper part of the neckline exposed, creating a very feminine and irresistible style. This year, it is widely available in citrus shades, from light lemon to deep orange, and makes a bold statement in strapless dresses. Of course, you will look for it in the shade that suits you... but before you decide, give the above shades a chance because they suit it very well.

With an open back

Now that all of us, more or less, have gotten our first bit of color from the sun, isn’t it a shame to hide it in a dress? And what could be more elegant than choosing a dress that leaves the back area uncovered. Very feminine and seductive, and very much on trend. This style appears in both mini dresses and longer ones. Especially for weddings on the islands, it is lovely for this detail to be paired with more airy dresses that also have some length in the sleeves, as they make the final result feel more carefree and distinctive.

With pleated details

Pleated details are very popular in summer. Think how beautiful a long, flowing pleated dress in bold shades - such as yellow, turquoise, violet, fuchsia, neon green - would look, paired with minimal jewelry and lace-up sandals. Or a dress with a pleated lower part and a sparkling bustier on top, or a more subtle and understated one. Need to say more?

One-Shoulder

From the most Grecian and minimal version to the most floral and sparkling option, dresses with one shoulder are a trump card for every guest at an island wedding. They have something very elegant, feminine, and at the same time something that is hard to resist. Ideally, they call for a longer length to stand out even more and very few pieces of jewelry around the neckline. Stick to a pair of earrings or a statement bracelet.
