Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio got engaged this week in the most cinematic way possible: a beachside proposal from fiancé Buck Palmer at NIHI Sumba in Indonesia, complete with a heart made of red flowers. If a dreamy proposal has you picturing a destination “I do,” here's how to dress for one.
Fabric: Lightweight crepe or chiffon breathes in humidity and travels well, no steamer required.
Silhouette: A slip or column gown moves easily through sand, stone, or grass, no bustle, no drama.
Packing: Look for a gown that folds or rolls into a garment bag instead of a rigid box, and ask your stylist before you book flights.
Coverage: A removable cover-up or light jacket handles the ceremony-to-reception temperature swing without adding bulk.
Wherever you say “I do,” the best gown is the one that lets you actually enjoy the view.
