Dress Accordingly
Skip the big dress. Let's face it: A ballgown belongs in, well, a ballroom. "You may be able to get down the aisle in a full dress and long train," notes Paulette Davis of Bahamas Wedding Planner, "but walking on the beach and taking photos won't be easy. If a large dress is a must, make sure it can bustle easily."
Think light. "Dresses with lace trim can be difficult because they pick up debris from the beach," says Kate Bentley of Happily Ever After Wedding Planning & Design in Key West, Florida. "Instead, choose a lightweight fabric like chiffon or charmeuse so your gown flows in the ocean breeze."

Ditch the heels. Sand and high heels just don't mix. "Wear flat-sole sandals, espadrilles or wedges -- shoes that won't sink into the sand," says Banting. Have your gown hemmed with or without shoes, depending on which option you choose. "Remember, sand can get pretty hot. Have an aisle runner made of fabric or thick flower petals to help keep your tootsies cool."
