Groomsmen attire for beach themed wedding

Ktrudel

I need some help...

I am having a beach themed wedding in July.  The BM already have their dresses.  http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Cotton-Sateen-Strapless-with-Ruching-and-Pockets-83312_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-Short-Bridesmaid-Dresses in the color "pool".

I found linen shirts from a website that the color is almost identical to the BM dresses. http://www.islandimporter.com/product.php?productid=2&cat=3&page=1 in the color "sky"

 My groom is wearing a tan linen suit, which we got from Men's Warehouse.

Would you have the GM wear pool colored linen shirts with natural linen pants or do white/ivory linen shirts?

I can't decide and my FI is having a hard time making a decision too.  Appreciate your thoughts! Thanks ladies.

White/ivory.  The pool-colored shirt might be okay with white linen pants, but I'm not crazy about tan/natural linen plus color on top.

I also think white/ivory shirts. I would do white shirts and maybe have something in the pool color as an accent piece.

We're having a daytime wedding by the water (not beach), and the guys will be wearing tan dress pants, white shirts, and an apple green skinny tie. (The girls are wearing purple dresses with apple green sashes).

HTH!

I'm having a beach wedding and I like the idea of them matching. I'm going with the linen pants and having the guys either wear white or one of our wedding colors

My girls picked that dress too! But in Ruby. i had the same dilemma...should the guys match the girls? but my BM made a good point that in pictures it would look too matchy matchy.-just picture them next to each other in pictures.. It would be better if all the guys wore the same color scheme as the groom and the GM just wear a “pool” accent color. Like for us, all the guys, including FI are wearing blue shirts and cream pants,- our wedding is informal and on the beach. The GM will have a boutonniere the same color as BM dresses and FI will have a white one.

Thanks ladies.  I think after looking at pictures, etc. I may go with either white or ivory shirts, but maybe with an accent color.
