Summer Wedding Styles for Sunshine Coast, BC Wedding

Sunshine Coast is a little paradise in itself that is known for its stunning scenery, relaxed vibes, and beautiful weather in summer. But with warm summer days and coastal breezes, choosing the right outfit is key, whether you’re the one saying I do or celebrating as a guest. As a venue that has hosted many weddings during the peak of summer, here’s what we recommend to an effortless, on-trend summer wedding style.

2025 and 2026 trends are all about natural beauty, perfect for the Sunshine Coast’s laid-back yet breathtaking setting. Brides will be loving lightweight fabrics like silk, cotton-linen blends, and soft tulle. Think breezy silhouettes: slip dresses, minimal A-lines, and gowns with subtle floral embroidery that nods to the season without overwhelming the look.

Grooms can expect more linen suits, tailored yet relaxed. Colours for this season are soft sand, cream, or sage green. We would suggest you to ditch the tie. And don’t be surprised if we tell you that more couples opt for barefoot moments during beach ceremonies!

When you’re attending a summer wedding on the Sunshine Coast, comfort meets style. For 2025 and 2026, midi dresses in vibrant hues (coral, citrus yellow, ocean blue) and natural fabrics are trending. Flowy jumpsuits are also making a comeback as they are chic and easy to dance in.

Men can’t go wrong with light chinos and a crisp shirt in pastel or earth tones. Pair with loafers or dress sandals. Ensure that you check if the event is on grass or sand before deciding!

Summer weddings here often mean walking on grass, sand, or garden paths — so choose shoes that suit. Wedges, block heels, and stylish flats are top picks for 2025/2026 brides and guests alike. Grooms and male guests will gravitate toward suede loafers or leather sandals.

Accessories are getting a subtle refresh: wide-brim hats for sun protection (and style points), simple gold or pearl jewelry, and natural-fiber clutches or bags round out the look. Most important, don’t forget your stylish summer hat.

Expect to see soft coastal tones dominate wedding parties like sandy beige, blush, muted greens, and sky blues. But couples are also adding a pop of vibrant color to reflect the joy of summer: think bold floral accents or statement pieces in orange, magenta, or turquoise.

Choose breathable fabrics, natural tones with a splash of color, and footwear that lets you move comfortably so you can focus on what really matters: celebrating love in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
