You have to keep in mind - length. If the wedding is formal you probably will be looking for a gown, but if you will be walking down a sandy aisle or a garden path at the ceremony, find a hem that just barely skims the ground so that you do not end up with dirt or grass stains on your dress. If the wedding is more casual, you can opt for tea or knee length dress.

It is a good idea to avoid pumps and heels at an outdoor wedding. If you feel like you need some height, choose a practical wedge or espadrille. Play around with embellishment, glitter, and beading on your shoes. You will be happier if you opt for stylish, comfortable footwear, so you can celebrate and dance the night away.
