LATE SUMMER BEACH CHIC



We're on the last lap of summer out here in California where Beach Wedding season can go from early March and as late as November if its a good year. Whether you re planning a destination wedding in the tropics or coast wedding in California, Mexico or somewhere else exotic, check out these beach-worthy gowns and accessories. Chanel on the beach? Who'da thought?



In one of my very favorite fabrics, point d'esprit
this halter gown by Amsale has the halter neckline so synonymous with beach wear and summer chic.
