Beach Wedding Sarongs - Brides, Bridesmaids, and Guests

A sarong is a natural fit for a beach or destination wedding. It is light, it packs small, and one wrap can be a skirt, a shawl, or a full dress. Brides, bridesmaids, and guests can all wear the same idea in a way that suits them, and everybody can wear a sarong.

For the bride

White leads the way. The sheer white full size sarong is the classic bridal choice, soft and light over a swimsuit or a simple dress. The embroidered solid white adds a little texture for photos. Wear it as a long wrap skirt for the ceremony, then as a shawl or a dress style for the evening. See the Wedding collection for the white styles.

For bridesmaids

Pick one color, or one design in a few colors, so the party matches without looking identical. Embroidered solids in turquoise and purple, solid pink and canary yellow, and Hawaiian leaf prints in pink, purple, and blue all photograph well against sand and sea. The dress guide shows five ways to wear a sarong as a dress, step by step, with diagrams. Grecian is a good pick for a wedding, and Halter and One-Shoulder work well too.

For guests

Guests can pick any soft solid or print that fits the day, or a white style if the couple asks for it. A sarong works as a wrap skirt over swimwear, a shawl over a dress, or a light cover-up for dinner after the beach. The tie guide shows eight ways to tie one.

Matching a whole wedding party

Matching a party is easy with sarongs. Pick one design in different colors, or one color across Regular and Plus sizes, and everybody wears the same look in their own fit. Regular is 66 x 44 inches and Plus is 84 x 44 inches, so the same design can fit different members of a party. See the size guide for the full details. For larger orders, see the Wholesale page for up to 50% off.

Colors that photograph well

White, soft pink, turquoise, purple, and canary yellow are the strongest picks from the Wedding collection. Solid colors keep the focus on the people, while batik and leaf prints add pattern without a heavy fabric. AllSarongs sarongs are mostly rayon, with some sheer polyester styles, and each product page lists the fabric for that sarong. See the Material page for how the fabrics compare.

For a destination wedding

Sarongs pack light, which helps when the wedding is a flight away. The packing list and the travel guide cover what to bring and how to pack it. Bring a spare for the evening, and keep the white one in its own bag so it stays clean on the trip.

Keeping a white sarong looking its best

Hand wash cold with mild detergent, do not bleach, do not wring or twist, and line dry in the shade. Keep the sarong out of the tumble dryer. See the care page for the full details.

Can a sarong be made to match a wedding exactly?

For a large party, two routes already exist. Wholesale covers the existing designs in bulk, up to 50% off. Custom covers a full printed design of your own, with a minimum of 200 per design and a production time of 8 to 12 weeks. Custom is a full design, not single-name embroidery, so plan it well ahead of the day. See the Custom page for the details, or the gift guide if a sarong is on the wedding gift list.
