Destination Wedding Dress Code: What to Wear in St. Barths

Molle Ruprecht and her bridesmaids at her wedding in St. Barth’s.

There are beach weddings and then there are beach weddings in St. Barths. This French Caribbean island is not only a major magnet for honeymooners, it’s also one of the chicest islands you’ll ever visit, so you can forget about throwing on a floral sun dress and calling it a day. There, it’s all about pared down French style updated for the beachy surroundings. Opt for something simple and pared down, like Jacquemus’s pastel summer dresses, or a silk slip dress in elegant midnight blue. Raffia bags, seashells, and woven hats all fit in perfectly, too, so don’t forget to pack those as well. Even beach cover-ups can double as cocktail hour looks, it all depends on how you accessorize them. Below, a few ideas of what to pack in your suitcase to a destination wedding in St. Barths.
