Beach Wedding Season Is Here & These Maternity Dresses Are Perfect For Attending

From blue flowing gowns to short, bump-hugging purple, there’s a dress here for everyone.

by Abi Berwager Schreier

I think it’s the law — or it should be — that if you’re pregnant, you get a free pass for what you want to wear to a wedding. Especially for outdoor weddings in the spring and summer months — it’s already hot enough, y’all. However, the best thing about beach weddings for pregnant folks, in my opinion, is the fact that you can go barefoot and nobody would bat an eye, right? And an even bigger plus? Bare feet would go with any beautiful maternity guest dresses for a beach wedding, because they’re either long and flowy or tea length and flowy, and they’re just whimsy enough to be comfy while still being absolutely stylish.

Whether you’re going for a boho chic vibe, a preppy sunny beach vibe, or even a comfortable, yet put-together vibe, there’s a dress for every pregnant mom’s style in this list. Many of the dresses can be used after pregnancy and offer the ability to breastfeed, which is a huge plus in my book if you’re spending some dough on a dress, you don’t want to wear it just once. And some of these dresses will even make you look like a beautiful mermaid, so that’s just an added benefit.

9Boho Maternity Dress

I think I’d wear this dress to the beach in general, even if I wasn’t pregnant. It has that perfect boho vibe with the flowers and the material. Don’t worry, the color is beige, not white, so you won’t pull a Kelly Kapoor on the bride’s big day.

Another flirty ruffle maxi dress, but this time it’s off-the-shoulder, adding a bit more flare and sexy to your ensemble. Obsessed with this blue-green color, too. It’s perfect for the beach.
