DESTINATION WEDDING F ASHION By Emma Yardley

When you go abroad to get married, make sure the celebration goes smoothly by matching up your wedding-day outfi t with your new environment. Here’s what to look out for when thinking about where you’re going and what to wear.

1Tropical Beach Bash

You’re on a tropical beach straight off of a postcard – the sun is low, the surf is gentle – and you’re ready to say “I do.” To make sure there are no hitches while getting hitched, think through your wedding wardrobe before stepping out onto the warm sand with a bouquet in hand. Look for a dress with a tulle skirt so light it will skim over the beach, and low-heeled sandals that will stand their ground.

2Sophisticated Vineyard Soiree

Whether it’s in Napa Valley or Bordeaux, your vineyard wedding is guaranteed to have vines, wines and unparalleled views.

The lushness of the surroundings, the smell of pure nature and the sweet sounds of birds all call for an escape in an eco-friendly resort in the Caribbean. Finding a luxe eco-resort on the edge of the world to hold your nuptials has a certain down-to-earth appeal (as does fi nding a dress to match the outdoorsy mood). Toronto-based Mikaella Bridal has designed an off -the-shoulder gown that is simple yet stunning – especially when paired with a natural-makeup look and Birks aquamarine stud earrings.
