A well-tied sarong works for a beach wedding.

Yes — if you choose the right fabric and know the knot. A cotton jersey sarong screams “pool cover-up.” Silk, linen, or a lightweight rayon crepe reads as intentional and elegant.

The trick is tying it like a dress, not a wrap skirt. High on the waist, secure, with clean lines. A halter-style tie or a one-shoulder knot works. Pair with strappy sandals and simple jewelry.

Skip the fringes, prints that look like tourist souvenirs, and anything that needs constant adjusting. If you’re fussing with it all ceremony, it’s not worth it.

Just don’t look like you’re heading to the pool. You’re a guest, not a beachgoer.
