Post Groom and GM attire

[Hopelesslyblissful]

Ok so to update we figured out what FI will be wearing. We went to Winnipeg this weekend and he took me to about 5 different stores to show me pants that he found. Well he hadn't tried ANY of them on...finally tired them on and didn't like ANY of them. Then I showed him a pair of shorts I had found, very nice shorts with a subtle pin stripe in them. He fell in love. So we are going with shorts and loosing the ties.

 

Here's a picture of Kyle..

Hi, guys! I see that a lot of you have gone with linen suits or pants for the boys. Can anyone tell me how these hold up? My fi and I just started shopping for what he's going to wear and one of the salesmen we spoke to told us to avoid linen because it will wrinkle terribly. That's what I had originally envisioned him wearing but I definitely don't want him to look disheveled in the pictures so I'm a little nervous about going with linen now :-/

I've seen many brides order from Studiosuits.com, Custom Suits | Designer Suits for custom made suits and linen suits for $99.

He doesn't have any groomsman. Just wondering if anyone else did the shorts thing for the groom and how did they feel about it? We are getting married in Aruba and I also need to look into whether the officiants would have a problem shorts on the beach. Thanks ladies!

I'm trying to convince my FI to wear a nice pair of tan short and a white linen shirt, but he's not really into it. For some reason he wants to wear pants We're getting married in Mexico and i just think he will be more comfortable. We're having a pretty casual wedding, my dress is not really a destination dress, but everyone else will be casual. I'm definitely not letting him wear a suit! He will melt!!

My whole wedding party (males) wore shorts. We wanted casual and cool but we were only able to do this because we were dining in the buffet. Most a la carte restaurants want men in pants. The way to get around this is to change in between, but I would think that would waste valuable time.

As for linen, I have never been a fan...it wrinkles way to easily and then it doesn't look very good.

We went with the linen suit. It did have wrinkles - but we just took it to the dry cleaners and it cost $16 to get it steamed. It took like 3 minutes. (this was in Maui) And he ended up loving it on the wedding day - he said it wasn't really hot at all (and he's ALWAYS hot). But if you don't want to steam the suit, don't go with linen - it does wrinkle easily

http://www.perfectsuits.co.uk/viart/product_details.php?item_id=451 I have ordered  a white suit from this site. We did want a cream one but they are end of line stock and they do not have my FI's size. I will let you know how it looks when it arrives. Its hard work trying to find a UK site with light coloured suits. Could not order from an overseas site because we only have 3 weeks left to go and it wouldnt be delivered in time...yes my fiance has left it too late, typical man lol

Here it is, what do you think?
