Destination Wedding Dress Inspiration: Bride’s Guide

In Fashion & Beauty by Ande Tongco

Choosing a destination wedding dress can be stressful at the best of times. The usual worries seem to fade away as you realise that you need a dress that will fit not only style of your wedding, but the location, climate and most importantly, you!

You try on four, maybe five, and none of them seem to fit exactly right. You haven’t had “the moment” seen on every rom-com movie and reality TV show and your special day is creeping closer and closer. Not to worry! We have curated a top 10 list of destination wedding dresses for inspiration to suit you no matter your style, location or climate.

So if you’re planning a wedding on the beach, amongst snowy mountains or next to a gigantic waterfall (here’s looking at you, Iceland) here a few of the wedding dresses we love for 2018.

Check out our top 10 designer dresses for more dress inspo!

This outback elopement was styled perfectly with a simple Brides of Sydney dress. With such a breathtaking backdrop less is definitely more in this department. A simple pair of boots ties the whole look together whilst also being the most practical option for outback Australia.
