Vogue has put together 28 gowns for brides who plan to marry on the shore, along with practical guidance on choosing one. Any bride planning a ceremony on the sand, whether in Naples, Palm Beach or the Hamptons, has to find a dress that suits both the sea breeze and the vows. The edit doesn't stop at the dresses themselves. It also explains how to judge whether a design is right for an aisle that ends at the tide line.

With reporting from Vogue.
