We have had many brides come in to Shadows looking for a dress for their wedding on a yacht. What a perfectly romantic and inspiring setting for ones marriage! It is a treat for the Bride and Groom as well as guests to be on San Francisco Bay with the views of the City, Marin mountains and the Golden Gate Bridge! There a few things to keep in mind when searching for a wedding dress for a nautical wedding.
1. It will be much easier to navigate the narrow companionways and decks of a yacht if one’s dress has a slim skirt instead of a ballgown.
2. It is recommended and sometimes required to wear non spiky heels, such as flats or wedges, with light colored soles, so that the decks are not damaged.
3. It is often much cooler on the Bay than on land, so even mid summer, a lovely cover up is a good idea, as you might want to wear it all day!
Here’s a photo of a gorgeous Nicole Miller wedding dress.We have many of her styles, all slim and comfortable.
