There is no Right or Wrong clothing attire for a destination beach wedding. It’s just that because of the tropical or beach location the ambiance tends to be more relaxed.
If the location has been decided and it’s a beach or tropical destination wedding, then this type of wedding calls for a more casual informal wedding attire. Because the weather will be hotter and the ceremonies will be held outside by the ocean, then the clothing is lighter and cooler. No need for tuxedos, suits or long ornamented gowns. The Bride can wear a long or short simple dress made of fresh and cooler fabrics like: Chiffon, Silk Organza or Linen. Strapless, Halter or Gowns with low-open backs and very little beaded ornamentation is recommended because the less ornamentation the lighter and cooler the dress will feel against the hot weather tropical climate.
For the Groom, a Linen Suit if you want it to have a more formal feel, but the Guayaberas or Mexican Wedding shirts are very very popular for destination and beach weddings. They’re more comfortable, cooler and elegant at the same time. Sometimes Capri shorts and a V-neck loose fit linen shirt is great for a beach ceremony. No shoes, just barefooted. Simple, comfortable and very relaxed for that special memorable day. More common are the linen drawstring pants with a linen long or short sleeve Guayabera or
Mexican Wedding shirt.
