Thinking about tying the knot? Think outside the box, with a destination wedding.
According to a 2016 report by the Destination Weddings Travel Group, which tracks the wedding industry, tropical locations, including Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas and Costa Rica, top the list.
These exotic locales offer a range of options for the ceremony, from a formal hotel ballroom to a more casual beach setting, allowing you to take liberties with your bridal attire. While more traditional brides might opt for a classic white gown, a sundress may be better suited to a backdrop of shimmery blue sea.
The footwear options are equally varied. While there’s the classic high-heel pump from J.Crew, detailed in ivory satin for a vintage touch, André Assous adds ghillie lacing to a mesh-and-leather style in soft gold metallic.

Resort dressing always calls for sandals, and Cambiami does a convertible thong, featuring a series of uppers that can easily be interchanged to create multiple looks. And for those who want to slip their sandals off for a dip in the ocean as soon as the vows are exchanged, Havaianas does a simple flip-flop, then dresses it up with a rhinestone ornament.

For brides who want to make their own style statement, Yook does a white huarache-inspired bootie, and Charlotte Olympia has some fun with her Incy Kiss Me Sneakers, detailed with cherry-red lips on the toe cap.
