Beach weddings are romantic, formal affairs that manage to maintain a casual, relaxed atmosphere in a way that few other events can. Every member of the bridal party has important decisions to make when it comes to what can and should be worn at a beach wedding. While there aren’t any hard and fast rules for what groomsmen should wear to a beach wedding, there are a number of acceptable options that the bride and groom can tailor to their style and preferences.Related Searches: Informal Attire
Hawaiian shirts and shorts are sporty, casual and festive outfits appropriate for an informal beach wedding. A couple with a low-key, dressed-down ceremony with only a few friends and guests may favor this type of attire for their groomsmen. It may also be a good option for groomsmen who may not be at a stage in life where they have enough disposable income to afford a tuxedo rental or to purchase a linen suit. Choose to dress the groomsmen in matching Hawaiian shirts that complement your wedding colors and theme or allow them to each select their own Hawaiian shirts. If you have a school or professional sports team that you strongly support, show your spirit by dressing your groomsmen in Hawaiian shirts that incorporate your team or university name or mascot.
Casual AttireBeach weddings are by their very nature more casual than wedding ceremonies held in churches, houses of worship, country clubs, hotels or even in gardens. For that reason, beach weddings lend themselves well to relaxed, casual attire for groomsmen. Clothe groomsmen in white linen button down shirts and either khaki or dark-colored trousers. Ditch the tie and leave the outer linen shirt open. Wear a plain white T-shirt underneath. Your groomsmen may choose to surprise the couple with a personal message scrawled across the backs of their shirts, which they reveal at the end of the ceremony. Add a little energy and creativity to the relaxed, casual look by having groomsmen dress in bright-colored sneakers with their fresh linen outfits. This look works especially well with an all-white linen outfit.
Semi-Formal AttireBeach weddings held in the evening or which feature a more elaborate set up including a white satin cloth aisle and chairs on the sand call for more formal attire than khakis and white linen shirts. For a more formal look, groomsmen may wear tan or khaki colored suits paired with white dress shirts and white satin ties. Colorful or tropical flowers can be worn in the lapel of the suit coats to add a tropical touch to the suits. Alternatively, navy blue, charcoal or black wool or linen suits paired with white dress shirts and dark ties also work as semi-formal attire options for a more formal beach wedding.
Unique Attire OptionsConsider a sailor costume for your groomsmen if you want something unique and fun. Or, put the men in grass skirts and either leis or shark bone necklaces for a tropical look. Wet suits and snorkels complete with fins and snorkel masks are hilarious and out-of-the-ordinary wedding attire that may fit a few couples’ personality and style. Swim trunks and flip flops may suit the most casual of couples who enjoy surfing and beach culture and feel their wedding wouldn’t be right without conducting it in the casual clothes they wear everyday.
