Planning for the wedding, bachelorette party, and even bridal shower can be a thrilling experience for any bride-to-be. However, after all the hustle and bustle of the wedding festivities, nothing compares to the much-needed relaxing downtime that comes with the honeymoon. It's the perfect opportunity to unwind and spend quality time with your partner in a stunning location.
But whether you're headed to a tropical island or a beachside paradise, you'll undoubtedly want to look and feel your best. You'll need the perfect bridal bikini as you capture photos of unforgettable and romantic moments on your getaway. That's why we've rounded up five stylish, comfortable, and sexy bikinis you must have for your honeymoon.
#1 A Classic White Bathing Suit
White bikinis hold the number one spot for the perfect bridal swimwear. They are a classic choice for any bride on her honeymoon and are versatile, so they can easily be dressed up or down no matter what your honeymoon entails. Whether you're hitting the beach, lounging pool or seaside, or exploring the city, a white bride bikini is always a great option.
When choosing the style of a white bikini, your possibilities are endless, and Gooseberry's Seaside collection's got you covered. A triangle bikini is flattering and versatile, while a bandeau offers a more modern and sophisticated look. You also can't go wrong with a one-piece. Whether a square neck one-piece tank or a plunging neckline, this style adds a playful vibe to your beachside ensemble and can double as a bodysuit.
#2 A Strapless Bandeau Bikini
For a bathing suit that is both comfortable and stylish, a bandeau bikini is a great choice. This bridal bikini is perfect for a more minimalist yet chic look that will accentuate your shoulders and collarbone without having to worry about any tan lines. The So Chic Bandeau top from the Gooseberry Seaside collection features a strapless top that wraps around your bust with a metal ring detail to provide the perfect amount of coverage and support while making you look and feel sexy at the same time. Bandeau tops are also great to wear with different bikini bottom styles. Heading to lunch or for drinks after soaking up the sun? Pair with shorts or slip on a skirt to create two looks in one.
With its timeless design and flattering fit, a bandeau bikini is a must-have for any bride-to-be looking to make a statement on her honeymoon, whether you're laying out on the sand or out for a romantic dinner.
#3 Versatile Triangle and Halterneck Bikinis
When it comes to getaway essentials, a triangle bikini is always a must-have. The beauty of this simple design is its versatility, providing many ways to wear a triangle bikini, whether it’s the upside down bikini trend or the classic look. A triangle bikini’s versatility makes it the ultimate ensemble for the beach, pool, or even a stroll along the shore. The So Chic Triangle is perfect for any bust size and is flattering with minimal design while providing support so you can move freely and soak up the sun. Similarly, for a more relaxed look, the So Chic Top offers a scoop neck and wireless design to style wherever your honeymoon takes you.
A halterneck triangle bikini style is another must-have design that’s sexy and minimal – this swim top ties at the neck and back for the perfect fit and adjustable coverage.
#4 The Classic One piece
The timeless one-piece swimsuit is a must-have for every honeymoon wardrobe. This bridal swimsuit is an excellent alternative for adding a different design and style to your collection. If you're looking for more coverage, the one-piece is a perfect option while still flatteringly hugging your shape to make you look and feel sexy. From a square-neck tank style to a plunging neckline, plenty of one-piece swimsuit options exist. The So Chic One Piece in seafoam is the ultimate statement-maker that sculpts your figure with a high cheeky cut. The One Piece Tank in pastel colors of Baby Pink or Fairy Tale gives seaside getaway vibes and provides the same sexy and chic design with perfect coverage.
Why is the classic one-piece a must for your honeymoon? It doubles as a bodysuit, so you can easily wear it for more than just the beach! Whether you're headed out for a day of exploring or soaking up the sun and lounging around, a one-piece swimsuit paired with a skirt or shorts can make for an effortless outfit. Your one-piece swimsuit can also be paired with a sheer top and trousers or worn under a blazer or denim jacket.
#5 Colorful Bikinis
While white bikinis may be the classic choice for bridal swimwear, colorful bikinis are perfect for the bride who wants to add a pop of color to the romantic getaway as well as stand out and make a statement. From pastels like the sculpted top in baby pink to bold colors like a bandeau style in coral, the options are endless. A colorful bikini is the ultimate blend of flirty and playful vibes for soaking up the sun on your honeymoon.
A colorful swimsuit can always be paired with other neutral pieces to keep the rest of your look simple so your swimwear can stand out. A white sarong or flowy cover-up can add the perfect final touch to your outfit, along with minimal jewelry or a hat.
Bikini Accessories
When it comes to the perfect honeymoon look, remember the accessories. Bridal bikinis are the ideal base, and stylish accessories–from cover-ups and hats to jewelry and sandals– help complete your honeymoon looks and take them to the next level.
- Cover-ups: Cover-ups are some of the best beach accessories for your seaside getaway. Whether going out to breakfast or for a sunset stroll, cover-ups complement your bridal bikini look while dressing it up.
- Hats: A wide-brimmed hat is a great finishing touch to your bikini whether you're laid back seaside or out to lunch. It provides more style to your look and protects against the sun.
- Sunglasses: Sunglasses are another must-have accessory for your honeymoon getaway, from classic aviators to trendy cat-eye frames. Not only do they protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, but they also help complete your fashion look and compliment your bikini.
- Jewelry: Just because you're lying seaside doesn't mean you can't add statement jewelry pieces to your fashion look. A statement necklace or earrings can add a touch of glamor to your look, while simple and delicate pieces can provide an understated chic style. Note that you'll likely want to choose jewelry pieces that can withstand water and sand and avoid pieces that are too heavy for the beach or pool.
- Shoes: Remember footwear, whether you opt for simple flip-flops, strappy sandals, or something a bit more stylish, like wedges and espadrilles. Your shoes are another way to complete any outfit and take you from lounging beachside to a romantic dinner.
With the right accessories, you can elevate any honeymoon look.
