For a warm, tropical wedding, choose your undergarments for your gown carefully, opting to stick with natural cotton or silk for best results and comfortability. Smooth, seamless lines are preferable to accommodate the softer, natural fabrics of a destination style gown. Heavily boned and corseted styles might be uncomfortable in a warmer climate, consider using a gentle underwired style instead if you need extra support

Apply suitable sunscreen and antiperspirant and allow drying before putting on your gown. Remember to keep all lotions and applications light, heavy or too greasy is not friendly for your gown particularly in a hot climate. If you desire to use a fake tan, apply it early before your wedding to allow plenty of time for it to dry.

Prepare for your dress. Think carefully about what you will be wearing the day of your wedding before you dress for the occasion, this goes for underwear as well as outer wear. Chances are that you might be considering a fine strappy or bare shouldered style due to your tropical destination wedding; remember that strap and sleeve marks from everyday clothes and underwear can take up to an hour or more to totally disappear, so loose, unrestricted styles are more friendly to the skin in this instance for preparation, or select pre-wedding clothes with broader, softer shoulder lines design, to minimise future strap marks.

When choosing your bridal preparation room make sure that it is cool with adequate ventilation, so that you may refresh first then successfully prepare for your day. Hang your gown as soon as possible in your brides room, to allow it to drop any creases caused by travel, as unfortunately natural fabrics do tend to crease more easily in humid conditions.
