Cruise Wardrobe for a Bride?

[JonandJess]

Hi Ladies!

 

I am kinda new to Cruise Critic, but I am a Sept 2012 bride, getting married aboard the NCL Sky. We will be having our ceremony in Nassau, Bahamas on the beach.

 

My question is - have any of you started planning your "cruise wardrobe" for your wedding, and would any of you like to share? I'm a bit of an over-planner, and have already started buying outfits for our cruise. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites or clothing stores that are especially good for cruise-ware or beach lounging. I've looked at the usual - Victoria's Secret, Target, Old Navy, Forever21, JCrew, etc.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

A nice post in fact.........

I bought a couple of new swimsuits and am waiting on a pair of (what I hope will be) cute wedge sandals to arrive in the mail. I did buy a new sort of formal dress earlier this year which I took on my cruise in March, and while I was on that trip I bought a cute new sundress/swimsuit coverup in St Thomas. With the possible exception of the formal dress these are all things I'll use at home as well. Otherwise I'm packing regular summer clothes that I would take on any other trip.

Newport News sometimes has some nice stuff.

Where did you find the wedge sandals? I have purchased a few things so far - my dress for the white hot party, a beach cover-up and looked at a few bathing suits. Here's what I found so far:

Any more website suggestions?

Congrats Jess,

 

Best of luck with your upcoming wedding. A couple of my favorite sites to get me ready for a cruise are Venus and Boston Proper.

Thank you, Heidi! I've never heard of either of those sites - great suggestions! Can't wait to check them out.

I found them at zappos.com. I ordered these (in bronze), but there are tons of them on there in every size/color/heel height. There were others I also wanted, but were a bit pricey and I didn't know what I'd wear them with!

I am afraid I was a bit of an overplanner/packer as well. I actually brought a white dress to wear each night to dinner. Sundresses for casual nights, a fun fancy dress for one of the formal nights and, of course, my wedding gown for the first formal night, which was the day of our ceremony. I even bought a white swimsuit, but only ended up wearing that once.

 

Love the idea of those bronze sandals, which would go with almost anything. So cute.
