18 Indie Lace Wedding Dresses Perfect for a Bohemian Beach Wedding

Indie wedding is a perfect place to let your imagination run wild, a place where you can get out of the box, move away from traditions, and put your own stamp to your big day. Everything is possible. And we mean literally everything! From the dog as a ring bearer (is there anything cuter than that?!), donuts instead of wedding cake, to the iPod music playing on the speakers. Still not convinced?! How about if we say that you can wear boots and kicks instead of heels, and that you don’t have to worry over heavy frills on your dress, and you can wear beautiful lightweight and airy dress instead. Changed your mind?

Just because you have a beach wedding, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful long dress. Only thing that matters is that the material is light. Hence, this gorgeous light dress. It is made out of gentle vintage style lace. It has a subtle cleavage, and also subtle beads around the waist. You can choose between three colors: champagne, ivory and white. We would recommend champagne, because it blends beautifully with the sand color, making it a perfect choice for a beach wedding.

This dress looks like it was made for boho Indie princesses, don’t you agree? Although it looks like it’s slim fitted, this dress still looks loose enough for a bohemian beach wedding. It has a deep V neckline and gorgeous long sleeves, which can be removed so the dress can look even more graceful. Shoulders are bare, which follows this year’s trends. The dress is made out of romantic lace. For accessories, we would recommend a big and rich flower crown. Pick the crown in various colors. Being that it’s a beach wedding, there is a big possibility to be bare footed, so pick out trendy foot jewelry.

9. Vintage Lace Gown

In fashion, every style eventually comes back. We can oftenly see how some designs worn in 1920’s can be in style and trendy today. Because of that, it’s no wonder that the same thing can be seen with wedding dresses. It was a trend and a tradition for a long time that brides wear dresses that their mother wore on their wedding, and their mothers before them… Although this tradition hasn’t died out completely, brides of today rather opt to buy dresses inspired by some past times. This dress inspired by the 1950s is just like that. We can see below the knee length, satin covered buttons, and an a-line. It is made out of lace, satin, and accents the body quite nicely.

Being that the dress is inspired by the 1950s, we recommend a 50’s hairstyle, some flat shoes or Chuck Taylors for indie girls. Don’t forget a cool veil and a bouquet out of classic roses. Fun and vintage at the same time.

 

10. Barely-There Wedding Dress

Are you familiar with the barely-there dress trend? It’s a sheer, almost completely transparent bridal style trend, that could be seen literally everywhere. These dresses are so sexy, yet romantic and feminine. If you are brave enough to wear this trend, this Costarellos dress is right up your ally. It features ¾ sleeves, beautiful V-neckline, and lace all-over it, without being completely see-through.

11. Simple And Unique Wedding Dress

Sometimes, the most simple solution is the most beautiful one. This dress is ideal for a beach wedding. It reminds us of 90s designs. This dress will beautifully accent your figure, with it’s simple and minimal design and lightly opened back. It’s a perfect fit for every future bride. Being that the dress is minimal, you can combine it in more than one way. One is minimal, with a light low bun and a bouquet of white calla flowers. The other one is a bit more bohemian with a rich flower crown, a bunch of bracelets and maybe a long necklace. These dresses can withstand practically everything.

Being that the wedding is on the beach, how could we forget about mermaid wedding dresses. This is one of the most loved designs, and brides often opt for them. It is modern and trendy for a couple of years now, and it  perfectly accents the bride’s curves. And this dress has a cut just like that. Upper part is made out of lace and small beads perfectly fitted for every part of the body. Back is open and decorated with beautiful buttons. Dress has a sweetheart neckline, and a lower part has a rich part with layers of tulle material. With this mermaid dress designed by Maggie Sottero, we recommend a lightly braided hair decorated with flowers. For bouquet, pick white roses. Go minimal with jewelry.

 

15. Elegant Wedding Dress

This beautiful dress inspired by 1920s is filled with details. If you watched the movie Great Gatsby, then you are familiar with this design. It is handmade, has a classic below the knee length and is decorated with adorable beads. It is elegant and really oozes with glamour from those times. Now comes the question of how to wear it? You should style your hair in that fashion, if you don’t have short hair, you can go with big waves, and emphasize them by wearing hairbands with feathers and beads. These hairbands were a huge hit back in the 1920s. Shoes with middle height heels will do the trick. White pearls necklace will look great.

This dress can pose a problem when choosing flowers. To make sure the dress will be emphasized in a right way, go with white flower bouquet, and you can add a feather for additional glamour.

 

16. Victorian Inspired Dress

We just had to add this dress to our list. Inspired by the Victorian era, this dress is made out of linen and lace, with big ruffles typical for Victorian times. Neckline has a high neck and delicate closure in the back and has decorative buttons. A very romantic look indeed, don’t you agree? You can wear this dress on your indie bohemian beach wedding, with your hair braided, and with a really big bouquet. We recommend pink peonies, because they will go perfectly with a Victorian dress. They are equally beautiful, timeless and romantic. As for the jewelry, opt for pearl earrings and minimal shoes. Beautiful, right?

 

17. A Line Beach Wedding Dress

This is a favorite cut of brides around the world, perfect for a beach wedding. Why? It has a beautiful open upper part, made out of lace, and lower part out of tulle material. This trendy cut is very easy to combine with. You can often see peonies with this dress, but we would recommend white roses. Why white roses? Lately, white roses have been neglected despite their beauty, simplicity and elegance. They are a perfect choice to go with lace, loose wavy indie hair, light breeze, and the most important part, your groom. We would also recommend high heel sandals, to make the tulle part more prettier. Gentle pink lipstick and minimal make up will look great. The jewelry should also be minimal and subtle.

 

18. Lovely A-Line Short Dress

A lot of brides lately opt for short wedding dresses. They are simpler, more modern and a lot more comfortable. Especially if you’re a queen of the dance floor. And because of that, we’ve picked out this short dress with a very minimalistic design. The dress is made out of lace and light material. If you take a look at the neckline, you’ll see it’s very classic and timeless. There’s also a simple detail, a little bit of lace on the straps. We would recommend a light bun, simple white shoes, and a bouquet of succulents. Been neglected for a long time, succulents have finally found their place under the spotlight. Their green color really fits with the minimal, indie and elegant designs. They go perfectly with these types of dresses. Lace and it’s color complement each other and go perfectly with beaches and cocktails.
