Sorry for two wedding-related posts today, but I'm bored.I'm thinking of an orange/coral and light blue color scheme. The girls would either be in orange or coral, and the guys in light blue dress shirts. What would you pair the shirts with?A. a khaki colored suit w/ tieB. a gray suit w/ tieC. khaki pants, no jacket or tieD. gray pants, no jacket or tie

E. khaki pants and blazer w/o tie.

A sounds nice to me

A, unless you're getting married on the beach. If you are, I'd go with C with tie.

Laur, we're doing a DW in Mexico, guess I should've mentioned that

For a beach wedding I would go with A without the tie or C.  It depends on how warm they are willing to be but no tie either way.

I LOVE the idea of having gray.Have you considered navy suits?I think the khaki might seem a bit washed out with those delicate colors.

oooh beach? I vote white linen shirts with navy blazers

C. It's hot at the beach Where are you getting married? And which month?

Expat, June at the Dreams Resort in Puerto Vallarta. I want them to look put together, but don't want to cause heat stroke :)C or D are probably better choices

I like the Khaki idea better than the gray idea. Whether you want coat and tie depends on how formal you want it to be. Remember, even if they wear the coat and tie, they can still take them off for the reception, so you can have more formal pictures for the ceremony and more casual pictures for the reception. Either way, I think it's going to be beautiful

Sounds great! But here's the deal. I just went to a beach wedding in Acapulco on the 10th. The ceremony was at 7PM and we were BOILING. I can't begin to imagine putting the poor guys in suits. FYI: The wedding I went to was a Mexican wedding... When we have beach weddings down here, the dress code is "playa formal," meaning "beach formal." For the ladies it means a short or long gown and for the gentlemen it means a guayabera shirt and dress pants, usually linen. This makes sense because guayaberas are airey and light. It might be hard to get your guys to wear that, since they're probably not familiar with the custom But it is technically the "correct attire" for a Mexican beach wedding... I'll find a pic and post it so you can see what I mean

Here's a picture of us. If you look at LyndaUSVI's signature pic, I believe her husband is wearing a guayabera as well. Perfect for the beach. I think your photos would look amazing if you can get the guys to wear these with linen pants [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/4060816377_0f545135b3.jpg[/img]

Expat, I actually really like that! And FI is pretty open to whatever I decide. I wonder if I could find blue linen shirts...
