Tux or casual digs for the guys?

[Diva]

I have seen the khaki/white shirt look a few times and it looks nice, but for the most part it looks a little to casual to me next to a formal wedding gown.

 

I want my FI and the guys to wear traditional tuxes, but is that super uncomfortable and unfair? I like the classic look of a tux at a wedding.

 

We plan to do TTD photos too so maybe we should just save the khakis look for that...

 

I am so torn. What are your thoughts?

We did the khakis and a short sleeve dress shirt for the guys and my husband wore the same pants and then a long sleeve white shirt.

 

 

We were at a wedding last year where the groom wore a suit and he was soaked from sweating! If you do go that route I would make sure each guy has an extra shirt to change into.

 

I do think a lighter suit would have looked sharp but I know my husband and our groomsmen would have been uncomfortable and with getting married away, I was pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Good luck with your decision.

I also have looked at a lot of pictures of casual dress for guys and I think having them all wear the same shoes helped a bit.

I don't think khakis look weird next to a bridal gown. In fact, I think it looks quite good. To me, a destination wedding is more relax by definition.

I think a paler suit or khakis is more suited for the beach!

I am trying to figure out the samething and I need to hurry up cause we only have about five months left.

We plan for FI to wear a nice khaki linen suit (plus or minus tie). The groomsmen will probably skip the jacket but have nice long sleeve shirts. I think this look looks great on the beach, even next to a wedding gown.

My husband and the guys wore khaki linen pants and linen shirts and I thought it was perfect. And still looked amazing next to me in my dress!

Khakis are too casual for me, so we are thinking about a light colored linen suit instead of a traditional tux

We did a khaki colored linen suit for DH. He would have killed me if I made him wear a tux on the beach, but really I didn't care as long as he was comfy in the 90% humidity. Tuxes seem a little formal when there are some really nice gray summer wool suits or beige/white linen suits or even black linen suits out there.

 

In all honesty though it is your day and it needs to look like you picture in your head!
