Zakynthos Wedding Attire Do’s and Dont’s
- Beat the heat in Zante, don’t forget that it gets very hot under the sun in Zante in the summer months.This is ofcourse a great incentive for a destination beach wedding, but make sure you and your wedding party are dressed comfortably, not to overheat
- For the bride, we suggest a off-the-shoulder gown style, and definitely fewer layers than a traditional English wedding dress
- Many brides in Zakynthos opt for a hoop on the bottom of their gown which allows for a nice refreshing breeze and to make walking on beaches and gardens as easy as possible
- For the men, try to avoid heavy fabrics and dark colours which will attract the heat on a hot summers day in Zante – kilts for the scottish, linen trousers, chino shorts, and thin suits are definitely the most suitable selections to keep the groom and his groomsmen cool
- Choose a ‘concealing glow’ fabrics – this means dressing your wedding party in colors and fabrics that won’t show perspiration – this is a consideration worth bearing in mind when you select your colors for your wedding in Zakynthos
- A Zante beach wedding is the perfect place for stylish, sun-smart fashion accessories: parasols, fans and flowers for the girls, and stylish hats and sunglasses for the guys
- Footwear is really important for destination weddings in Zante, particulary beach locations. Consider bringing two types of bridal footwear – a high heel for your ceremony if in a church or on a steady platform, and a second flat shoe, wedge or toe-thong for the beach photoshoot and reception
- Island flowers really add to your wedding day in Zakynthos with spectacular bouquets, and even a fresh-cut island flower as a great hair accessory. Remember to place your hair flower so it can be seen during your ceremony on the side that will be facing your guests and photographer when you turn to exchange vows. The guys look great with floral buttonholes too
