"Hi I am Sherry Ayles, owner of Customary Couture in Cedar Park, Texas, and I am here to give you some tips on purchasing a dress for a beach wedding. The items you will need are soft silhouettes, easily packable fabrics, and low heels or flip flops. My first tips for a beach wedding would be to use a soft fabric like a chiffon or a charmeuse. Both of them are going to be really lightweight, not a lot of stuff underneath them. So if you are hot out on the beach you are going to be comfortable. They also are easily packed in a suitcase, you don't have to worry about checking your luggage, and your dress getting loss. They can come right on the plane with you. My second tip is to go with a short dress that is going to be a lot more comfortable in the hot sun on the beach, and you are not going to have to worry about getting the sand, and water on the bottom of your dress. My third tip is to choose a flip flop for your shoe option. You don't want to wear a high heel, because you will be sinking right into the sand. And you don't want to be barefoot, because the sand is awfully hot. But also don't forget your pedicure. I am Sherry Ayles, owner of Customary Couture, and these are my tips for a beach wedding dress."
