What White Lotus Taught Us About the Perfect Resort Wedding (Minus the Drama)
If you’ve found yourself watching White Lotus and wondering, “Should I plan a wedding somewhere warm, dreamy, and wildly photogenic—but with far less drama?”—you’re not alone.
.
There’s something undeniably captivating about those luxurious beachside backdrops, the chic outfits, and the air of escape that White Lotus brings to the screen (even if the White Lotus ending always includes at least one jaw-dropping twist). But instead of betrayal and chaos, we’re here for the sunshine, Aperol spritzes, and the ultimate in laid-back elegance. And that’s exactly where our Resort Wedding Lookbook comes in.
.
Whether you're saying “I do” during a beachside elopement, hosting an intimate destination celebration, or just dreaming of tropical breezes while planning from home, we’ve curated a collection of effortlessly chic looks to inspire your resort wedding dress style.
.
Here are three warm-weather bridal outfits styled to perfection with some of our favorite purses from woman-founded, LA-based designer Clare V. —because nothing says “resort-ready” like stylish accessories with a coastal twist.

Bridal Look 1: Modern Island Muse
Bold. Confident. Effortless. Our Tristan bridal jumpsuit is the ultimate power move for the modern beach bride looking for a fresh take on the resort wedding dress. Crafted with luxe crepe fabric, dotted trim, and a wide-leg silhouette, it delivers on minimalist sophistication with a touch of whimsy. The deep V-neckline and mid-open back add a bit of edge while still keeping things breezy and comfortable in warmer climates.
.
We styled this look with the Clare V. Petit Moyen bag—a handwoven rattan mini messenger that pairs perfectly with the jumpsuit’s structure. It’s lightweight, unlined, and ideal for stashing sunscreen, your vows, and a touch-up lipstick for that post-ceremony glow.

Bridal Look 2: Soft, Sweet & Something Blue
If you're dreaming of dancing under the stars on the beach, this look is for you. The Hailee dress is a strapless stunner that features a floral beaded bodice, an empire waist, and a floaty 100% silk skirt. The removable neck scarf is the kind of romantic detail we live for. It’s everything we imagine wearing on white sands and beneath swaying palm trees.
.
We styled it with the Fleurine Bag from Clare V.—a soft leather mini with gold studs, an adjustable strap, and just enough edge to balance out Hailee’s softness (those studs are the perfect touch of structure and hardware). It's your sunset ceremony plus after-party bag, all in one.

Bridal Look 3: Floral & Free-Spirited
Romantic getaway goddess energy, activated. The Suni dress is a dreamy short lace number with a flouncy skirt and detachable sheer sleeves—so you get two looks in one. The floral lace brings that carefree beach vibe, while the playful silhouette keeps it perfect for an oceanside aisle or barefoot sandy dinner.
.
For accessories, we love the Pot de Miel bag in powder blue from Clare V. Inspired by a honeypot shape, this handwoven straw basket bag is a great finishing touch. The bamboo handle balances structure with the softness of the straw texture, and the blue adds a "something blue" pop of color to your bridal look (although this bag also comes in neutrals, like black and tan!)
