I think the length is a little too much for a beach wedding, the design actually not so bad. I would just take it up drastically so the train wouldnt get ruined
the dress is beautiful and stunning but is not what i imagine for a beach wedding... it feels so elegant and when i think about a beach wedding is lay back and pretty and this dress is beautiful but is not beach!!! at the end is your decision
I would say, try it on before you make any decisions. Thru my experiences dress shopping I've realized that what you love in a picture are COMPLETELY different from what look great on you.
With the wedding being in Cancun (Which, by the way, I'm invited, right!? LOL!) the only thing I would be worried about is the train getting ruined.
But like I said, I'd go try it on with some other styles and then figure the rest out.
Good luck!
If you love it, I say go for it!! I don't think any dress can be too much, it's YOUR WEDDING! I'm wearing a huge ball gown with a chapel length veil & I'm reading every where that you should only wear them for a big wedding in an expansive cathedral. My wedding is in my church (which is Protestant, not too big or formal like some catholic cathedrals), but who cares?! It's my wedding, I'll wear what makes me happy 
Well We havent decided if its going to be on the beach.. or in one of the gazebos at the resort.

I think that dress is gorgeous and you can make it work if you love it!!
beatuiful design but it is too much for a beach so i suggest altering the style so less of a train and maybe different fabric (if its heavy fabric, as someone that did get married on a tropical beach let me tell you that it can get HOT) but it IS a beautiful dress
If it is in the gazebo that would make a difference. Although that dress looks like it will be heavy and hot. You may want to go with something more "breezy" and flowy =) The location is gorgeous!!!! Honestly, if you love the dress, you should try it on and see what you think...it is YOUR day!! ;-)
i love the dress but agree with the other girls! I love the look, but I think it would be really hot and heavy for the beach. It is your BIG day though, try it on and if you love it-it will be perfect!!
Maggie has a beautiful destination collection of dresses and this is similar in design: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?line=d&pageSize=100&style=JD1328
I think you should do whatever you want! If you love the dress, who cares?
Beautiful but personally i dont think it is right for a beach wedding.. Mainly because it is so big and heavy. When i think beach I think soft flowly fabric simply beautiful
ahh.. I love you ladies.. Once the dress trying on has commenced.. I will be posting pics!! Thank you so much!
I imagine that champagne skirt not there and a sleeker trumpet skirt in place... then I think it would be much more appropriate for your needs! Then again... that material looks like you'd be hot hot hot in Cancun!
i don't think it's too much. i've seen my friend tried on this dress (but all white) and it looked fabulous!
I have to put my two cents in because I went through the same situation with almost the same dress, (maggie sottero.) And my conclusion, (as well as fiance's,) was, it is only going to happen once. If we want the wedding on the beach, fine. If I want that big poofy dress, fine. I'm not going to change my style, just because of our venue! Although, I love the Gazebo, that would be perfect. Go for it if that is the dress!!
I agree with waterprincess! I'm having a beach wedding and my dress is formal - I say do what you want. If you try it on and fall completely in love with it, nothing should hold you back! You know when you know, right??
Here's mine and yes this baby might get trashed from the sand, but to me, it's just too pretty not to wear it and I love how I feel in it :)
I say do what you want BUT if your dress is heavy and you're getting married in sunny, hot Cancun...you might be uncomfortable. But the dress is beautiful!
That'S a really pretty dress and I actually think that dress would look perfect on the beach. The two tone makes me think of sand and driftwood and candlelight - beach chic! I am of the wear what you want regardless of the venue thought process.
@ ilikekennedy, I love your dress too, especially the ruffle on the bottom!
I agree with some of the other posters in that you could pull that off for a beach wedding, but shortening the train might be a good idea. It's definitely on the dressy side for a beach wedding, but I still think it looks appropriate.
Just bc your wedding is outside or on the beach does not mean you have to get a light, airy, breezy, less formal dress. Get what you want and what you feel beautiful in. If you don't care about it getting a little dirty around the bottom w/ the train dragging- shorten it a smidge or bustle it for the walk down the aisle- but honestly even dresses dragging dow the aisle in a church are not going to remain pristine white! THe dress is meant to be worn, in my opinion. Have fun w/ it!
I say go for it!
The dress is sooooo GORGEOUS!
The dress is grogeous!!! You should wear the one you love. Plus, the gazebo would work perfect!
If you went with the gazebo instead of the beach, you could pull it off...but you may sweat to DEATH..that would be my only worry... If you have the ceremony ON the beach, I think it's a bit much, just because it would get all dirty etc...
I LOVE IT! Although I'd get rid of the train for a beach or beachside wedding.
How much better could it be for a beach wedding with a SAND color at the bottom?! I think it's great to get something unexpected. Why get light and breezy if this dress is more you? If you love it,what difference does it make?
I think (especially if you do the ceremony in a gazebo) it would be awesome!
I'm in a similar quandry with the dresses I heart too thus far. My idea is to get one helluva bustle going on that looks great for your beachy reception too..maybe marry in the gazebo?
I'm marrying in a church, but after that, we're going by boat to our reception site and I have to run down a fairly nice sized pier and then across a hundred feet or so of white sand to get inside the venue for the reception.
Call me crazy, but I don't think any wedding dress is ever too much for the venue! I've seen pictures of beautiful gowns worn skydiving, underwater, near a waterfall ... and all make for really beautiful pictures! The only thing that matters is if you feel comfortable wearing all that fabric in the sand. I personally think that a formal gown on the beach or in the middle of a forest, is breathtakingly beautiful! Something about it just looks magical because it doesn't completely fit in.

I say GO FOR THAT DRESS. It's beautiful and I think it could bustle well.

I love the two toned colors which I think would go for a beach wedding, plus if you love it, who cares? I think the dress is gorgeous.
I am also having a beach wedding. Figure out where you are going to have the ceremony before you go shop for dresses. We were going back and forth between an "on the beach" ceremony and at the country club overlooking the beach. We ended up choosing the country club view. I went looking at dresses before we had made our decision on exact ceremony local and I was totally confused as to what I wanted. Find a dress that you are not sweating in the store. Believe me some of them will having you sweating in 2seconds in an air conditioned store. Imagine what it would be like outside.
If it is on the beach/sand I wanted a more flowy/light fabric.
If it is overlooking the beach I could get away with a more elaborate dress.
The 1st dress is the one I ordered (excuse the fact that it is signifcantly too small for me) and the 2nd dress is the one I liked if I was in the sand.
