Hi girls!

I bought this White by Vera Wang Organza dress for my wedding. However, now that we are going to have our wedding on the beach instead of having it indoor, i am not sure if this dress would be too much for the beach. Especially, we are going to be having a destination wedding in Thailand. Have any of you girls wore this dress for your beach wedding or plan to wear it to your beach wedding? Would you suggest that i should go for it or should i exchange for a simpler/thinner gown? Any opinion would be appreciated.

Below are pics of myself in the dress if that help. Thanks girls!

Me tried on my wedding dress at DB and at home:

@mwitter80: That's true and that's what i am worried about. 

@MissHighHeel: Thanks. I am debating because i do think it's a pretty dress, what i am worried about is it being too thick/heavy for the beach and the hot weather. But my ceremony would be at 5:30pm so during that time it might not be as hot because it's close to sunset. 

@CrispyRN: Thanks so much. The reception will be indoor but i would be changing to a simpler dress. It's this dress below:

yea i am worried about the sand getting stuck in my dress too...but i guess if the sand is dried then it should be hard to shake it out of the dress afterward. I am more worried about the thickness of the dress. It's a pretty dress and i am not sure if i wanna let it go. :(

@JerseyGirlLaur: Thank you so much. I do feel more bridal in this dress than the thinner/simpler dress though. The thinner dress makes me feel like i am wearing a nice dress but it doesn't make me feel like i am wearing a Wedding Gown. i am confused... 

@shushu1208: Thanks. True, the organza is lighter. I really hope that after i get the dress hemmed it will look smaller on the bottom.

@MademoiselleL:  I am worried about being hot and sweaty that's why i am still not sure about what to do.

@SapphireSun: Thanks. I am also worried about being too hot.    

@squeak35: I do feel more bridal in this dress than other flowy dresses. I do have another dress to change into for the reception as seen above.  So maybe it's ok to wear the gown for an hour or 2 and deal with the heat.

 @FutureMrsMoore: Do you remember where you've seen someone with this dress on the beach?

 @Eleanor: i do agree...but i don't see any of those flowy dresses that make me feel like a bride, i feel like i am wearing a nice dress when i have them on. I feel more bridal in this gown.

Sadly...i would have to let this dress go and look for something lighter/thinner. This dress is brand new with tags and unaltered. If you or anyone you know are interested in this dress please few free to contact me. 

I also purchased the Champagne color sash to go with the dress. It can be purchased with the dress or by itself. It's brand new with tag as well.  thanks.

Forgot to mention that this dress is a Size 4 and the style number is VW351011. I am also including the Gown Preservation kit from David's Bridal (Retail $ 189.00). The sash and kit can be purchased together or separately with the dress. Everything is ready for shipment immediately. It will be a FINAL sale. Feel free to contact me for more info if you need. Thanks girls!

I actually think the Vera Wang would be nice for your reception. It's pretty and unique, and you will be taking lots of pics and mingling, dancing, socializing. I think it will pop in pics and really make you stand out as the bride.

I think you should wear the simpler dress for your beach wedding. It's light, pretty and chic.

I am doing a beach wedding too and bought a simple dress that will be great w/ sandals and in the sand/wind/water. I am having an indoor reception and will be wearing something a little more formal. Both dresses are beautiful and I can't wait!!!

Whatever you choose to do, it will work for you! Good luck with your decision!!!

@Miss Root: i agree with you, the dress is gorgeous. i want to change to a simpler dress b/c we are having a buffet style reception and i just thought it would be easier to move around with a simpler dress plus i am afraid to have spill on my dress. 

@jumpthegun:  Thanks. That's a good suuggestion but i would prob love to wear my this dress for the ceremony b/c we will be taking formal photos between then and the reception. 

@sre411:  Thanks for the idea and congrats on your upcoming wedding. 

@LilyTom:  i thought about a chiffon dress too but i do feel nothing i seen lately can compare to how i feel for this dress. Thanks for your input. 

@beeliever: thank you for the nice comment. I am actually keeping the dress, especially after seeing mrsrowe with the dress on the beach. I am not worrying about it as much. :)

I am thinking of wearing this dress to my Jamaican wedding in 2012!! I love it...I've seen some pictures of girls in the dress and it is very puffy and big but I have also seen pictures of the dress on girls and it wasn't poofy. I would wear mine without a lot of poof but each is its own. I can't wait to go try it on!
