DW - Groom and mens attire

I am planning a DW in Jamaica and need to start loking for the grooms (and mens) attire. I envision linen khaki colored pants and white shirts. Any ideas where to look for this? Any help is appreciated!

    You can look through wedding magazines and websites, but I found that googling it was the best way to get ideas.  Also, have a look at Etsy.com for the details.
  • Try Tommy Bahama - they have a "wedding collection."  Department stores also have some options - like Nordstrom or Macy's.

    At our DW we had exactly the same for the guys, groom included - khaki pants, white short sleeve button down shirts and they all wore black skinny ties (a bit hipster, yes!) We actually went around affordable 'normal' shops that were easily accessible to them - H&M, Top Shop, Zara, etc. And then sent them the links to the items so they could order online if they wanted. A bunch of the guys even made a day of it and went shopping together and rewarded themselves with a bonding trip to the pub for their shopping efforts. (Let's be honest a lot of guys would rather have a root canal than spend an afternoon at the mall) but it all worked out and they were all really happy that it all was not only affordable but were items that they genuinely would wear again.

    Also, I don't know if you're getting married on the beach but we originally had the guys in black flip flops but soon found that it's tough to walk in the sand so everyone went barefoot. They all looked great and were very comfortable!

    Best of luck to you and yours!!xx
  • Fiance and I are still trying to decide what he will wear for our destination wedding in May. I have read that linen is one of the most light weight fabrics. I am thinking a gray or dark-gray  linen suit for the ceremony. He really wants to wear nice shoes, but I am worried about the heat. We are not getting married until 4 pm, and I know it will be really hot and humid.

  • We are also still trying to decide. I am not a fan of khaki or linen pants so it's hard because I see that style a lot. My FI wore khaki linen pants to a friends wedding and it worked but I am not sure if he wants to wear that for his own. We are thinking gray as well. Maybe dark grays pants and a white linen shirt. No ties or suits though. I want the guys to be cool and comfortable! and they are either going barefoot or just wearing sandals
