Men's Beach Attire - Help!

bemistobe

We are having a beach wedding next August, and I'm stumped on what I should have the guys wear. I thought maybe tan pants w/white shirts (long sleeved?) with different colored ties. BUT....how would I make FI's attire different? Add a vest? Have him wear a colored shirt w/a white tie? I went to the beach yesterday to scope it out and it was HOT. The sun was shining directly on us...so I'd like to have the guys in something cool. Maybe even flip flops?

If anyone has any ideas or photos -- please let me know! Thanks!

I personally love khaki pants, maybe rolled up and barefoot, or with flipflops, white cotton or inen shirt.  Maybe have the GM in a linen colored shirt, and fi in a white or off-white

Here are a few pics I found

This is sort of what I'm imagining for your fi-

And here's an example of the GM in a different color, but in your case maybe not black because of the heat

He doesn't need to be dressed "differently"  everyone will know he is the groom.

Seriously, it's fine.

Or you could do something like all of the groomsmen in different blue ties, and the groom in a pink one.  (Or whatever colors you like)

The groomsmen could be in tan pants and the groom could be in "stone".

THe groomsmen could wear very pale blue shirts and your groom could wear white.

If you are having any type of tropical theme, your groom could wear one of those leaf lei shawl things (don't know what they are called...)

We're having the guys wear light khaki colored linen pants and white shirts (both probably rolled/cuffed a bit) with a tie and bout. and hubby will be wearing vest and coat... i think everyone will be barefoot.

There's a lot of options.  I've seen a lot of people use coordinating colors - the pic above with the darker shirts vs lighter was cute!  You could also use different colored flower bouts?

Good luck!

Thanks for all your input ladies. It's very much appreciated!

Groom could wear the blazer as well, while the rest of the guys stay without.  Or maybe he can wear suspenders to stand out a bit.??

Hi- I am getting married on the beach and my guy thinks wearing a linen shirt with khaki pants will be to causal with my dress, I looked at your look book, and the dress you have on there is my dress!! (I'm getting the back shortened so it doesnt trail as much) I see your dress is very "formal" and gorgeous, too- are you concerned that your guy will look to casual next to you? (Thats our debate!!)

I think we've made our decision to do tan suits. FI wants to wear a suit and I really can't complain to that.
