1. Tips to consider when buying a Bali Wedding Dress
The climate and environment is always just as important as the bride's personality and
wedding aesthetic. It is mostly always warm/ humid; so selecting/ designing a gown
with light weight fabrics and comfort is ideal. We design all of our gowns with beautiful
silks and cottons. When we think of a destination wedding in Bali, the first aesthetic
and style that comes to mind is effortless femininity and relaxed sophistication - clean
lines, fluid fabrics, and design statements like sheer panels, keyholes and fashion-like
sleeves.
2. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress
Heavy corseted gowns and beading. While the bridal gown should always reflect the
brides personality, you don't want to look like you're dressed for a different venue.

1. What to think about when choosing a Bali Wedding Dress?
I think fabric and style are big factors when considering a wedding dress for a Bali
wedding. Due to the humid climate, you want to make sure the fabrics are natural and
breathable so it is comfortable on your big day. Style is also important, we think a sleek
or romantic style is much more complementary to the beautiful Bali surroundings. And
think about travelling, it is much easier with a simpler gown
2. Tips on bridesmaid dresses for Bali weddings
Bridesmaid dresses should be comfortable and work with your bridal party's individual
shapes. We love the idea of giving your party a colour and let them choose their gown!
3. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress
Consider the size of your gown. And by this, we mean how many layers, does it travel
well? If your gown is too big, you may need to consider ringing your airline in advance
to see if they can store it on board, and you may have to pay for an extra fee. Also
never ever check in your gown. Always hand carry on board.
4. 2021 wedding dress styles for a tropical wedding.
We are definitely biased on this as our gowns are sleeker. But in the last couple of
years, we are seeing more brides embrace a simpler and elegant style. We love that
brides are getting more creative with their wedding day look, by adding coloured
shoes, bold accessories etc... and a simpler gown will open up opportunities for you to
style your look however you like.

1. What to think about when choosing a Bali Wedding Dress?
Something light and flowy is always a good choice for Bali as the weather is always
quite warm. You don’t want the stress of having to wear a heavy gown. But I always
believe you should wear what you want - anything that makes you feel the best you
have ever felt.
2. Tips on bridesmaid dresses for Bali weddings
For bridesmaids I always suggest to dress them in what they feel comfortable in. So
maybe they wear all the same colour but different styles that compliment their shape
best. You don’t want to have unhappy bridesmaids on your wedding day - Don’t forget
they are your support so you want them to be at their best on your special day.
3. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress
When choosing a dress for a destination wedding things to avoid would be -
Choosing a heavy skirt - It will be difficult to transport, frustrating to wear and may
stress you out - especially if it’s hot weather. Choose fabrics and embellishments that
are likely not to get damaged in transit.
If travelling on a plane with your destination wedding dress - NEVER pack it in your
luggage. You will run the risk of it getting permanently damaged or even lost and you
don’t want that just before your wedding.
4. 2021 wedding dress styles for a tropical wedding
I feel with tropical weddings there isn’t much you can go wrong with. I love high neck
gowns with cut away backs, or long sheath dresses with small straps. I think for 2021
the bridal trends will change given the global pandemic we have faced. I feel women
will go with simple timeless shapes that aren’t too busy or heavy.

1. What to think about when choosing a Bali Wedding Dress?
There are so many factors to consider when selecting your perfect gown. One of the
most important factors to consider in our opinion is the temperature and climate of the
wedding location. Bali is typically a humid, warm climate and so lightweight and
breathable fabric is a must.
2. Tips on bridesmaid dresses for Bali weddings:
Your bridesmaids are an important part of the wedding vision and so colours and
materials complimentary to your theme and vision is a must! Consider colours and
designs complimentary to the backdrop of Bali.
3. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress:
In our minds, destination weddings are all about spontaneity and freedom! Your
destination wedding dress should allow you to move freely and have the most fun on
the day.

1. What to think about when choosing a Bali Wedding Dress?
A wedding on a clifftop location in Bali is a dream come true. Imagine yourself overlooking the vastness of the ocean below your feet, white clouds melting into a cotton candy coloured sunset, the heat of the day subsiding to a gentle evening breeze that is so typical for Uluwatu - this is the drama of nature at its best. The location and the gathering of all your family and friends is something that will create lasting memories. You would want the dress to reflect this by choosing a light, tropical wedding dress in a luxurious fabric with an attention to tailoring where perfection is in the detail. A dress that floats in the wind as you walk down the open-air aisle, adorned with gently swaying ostrich plumes and subtly hand-embroidered with fine crystals that sparkle in the evening sun. It's the most understated dresses that require perfection and exquisite craftsmanship.
2. Tips on bridesmaid dresses for Bali weddings:
This is a day that you spend with your closest friends - those you have known since you were a little girl and who have travelled from far to celebrate your special day. It's fun dressing up, providing support, wiping away a happy tear or two, reminiscing about the times you played dress-up together as kids. You would want to show your appreciation to your friends by giving them bridesmaids’ dresses that match their unique style and complement your dress. Again, it's about simple cuts and luxurious fabrics and you may want to splurge a bit on colour and some subtle embellishments.
3. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress:
Think about practicality. You would want to avoid dresses that are too big to be carried as hand luggage. Avoid checking in your wedding dress or sending it by courier. Your dress should be perfect before it leaves for its destination. Last minute on-site alterations are extremely stressful for the bride and can go wrong due to time pressure. As tempting as it may be, do not take pre-wedding pictures in your wedding dress. It should be in pristine condition when you walk down the aisle and keep in mind of the surfaces you will be walking on. Rough and stoney surfaces may easily damage the train of a delicate dress.
4. 2021 wedding dress styles for a tropical wedding:
As the whole world emerges from the dramatic events that shaped 2020, the global focus shifts away from fast consumption to more sustainable choices. Ultimately this trend is also reflected in wedding dresses. We feel that a higher value will be placed on craftsmanship and workmanship – the appreciation of skills that have been handed down generations to create pieces of lasting value. A wedding dress is something that you would want to look at in decades to come and relive those beautiful memories - and it should still sparkle the way it did on your wedding day. For Bali’s tropical setting,“less is more” is the way to go. You would want to keep the silhouette relatively simple and relaxed, and focus on the details such as fabric choice and details in the embellishment.

Tips and styles of wedding dress for wedding in Bali:
Having a wedding in a tropical island of Bali especially along the beautiful coastline, you will need a wedding dress that you will feel comfortable in and one that will fit the laidback holiday vibe of a wedding by the sea.
A few styles that definitely won't go wrong, from romantic, floating trains to glamorous Grecian draping and bohemian vibes, which will move beautifully in the sea breeze. Try to choose a dress that could show off your beautiful skin, be it a low back, plunging neck or translucent bodice and combine it with a statement lace or embellishment to achieve that light and airy look yet stunning and effortless at the same time.
The type of embellishments on your gown could also be an important factor to achieve that vibe, we believe that it has to have beautiful textures but not necessarily to be full of sparkles. The key is subtle yet intricate, organic and classy. If you're someone who loves minimalism, then go for a gorgeous plain white gown and focus on finding one that has unique cutting details on the gown that could flatter your figure beautifully and show a little bit of skin.
Another important note to consider is that due to the humid weather in Bali and high chance that you'll be transporting the gown to Bali from your hometown. You might want to find a wedding dress that is lightweight and materials that could dry easily. You will definitely be sweating and you don't want your dress to have watermark stain all over the dress.
When it comes to your bridesmaids dress, the world really is your oyster. But overall, try to always find a matching style and vibe with your wedding gown so that it looks cohesive. They will be moving around a lot, working behind the scene to make your wedding day perfect so make sure that their fabric doesn't crease and have watermark stain easily.

Alerisa creates unconventional bridal apparel for modern and fashion-forward brides. We want our brides to be able to be chic and fashionable, yet enjoy the freedom to dance and move around comfortably on their wedding day.
What to think about when choosing a Bali Wedding dress?
a. Comfort is key. The humid and warm weather in Bali means you’ll need to choose lighter fabrics and go minimal. Excessive details like a train will just weigh you down. A lightweight and flowy dress will help you stay cool. Plus, that will make for great photos.
2. Tips on bridesmaid dresses for Bali weddings
a. I suggest they commit to the same hue but explore alternative styles and designs. Not every dress is flattering for the same person! Most importantly, they go for laid-back ease in humid Bali.
3. Things to avoid for a destination wedding dress
a. Avoid a dress with a heavy skirt. Trust me when I say it’s no fun moving around with a chunky dress. A breathable and minimal dress will help you look fresh and clean all day.
Try choosing from collections made specially for destination weddings so that your dress can be packed easily and transported to your dreamy destination.
4. 2021 wedding dress styles for a tropical wedding
a. Clean, simple, minimalist. I expect to see more unembellished styles trending in 2021, and simplistic styles are perfect for a tropical wedding. This is why at Alerisa, we create simple yet elegant dresses for our brides.
