| I want a fairly casual dress, something out of the "destination" sections that isn't puffy and is more sleek and simple. We have been thinking that groom and groomsmen won't wear suits... just nice shirts and khakis...Has anyone done this instead of tuxes, did it look ok? Got any pics of guys dressed informal? Thanks! |

| My Husband and I got married on the beach...send me your email and I can show you pictures. I wore a knee length halter dress, my bm's wore sun dresses; the groom wore a white embroidered shirt (looked Cuban or Tommy Bahama style) with khakis and the gm's wore light blue Bahama style shirts with khaki shorts. It looked very cool with the sun and sand. We even wore flip-flops that read "Just Married" in the sand as we walked down the beach...very cute! |

| Several of our friends' groomsmen have worn informal outfits. In my experience it still looks nice as long as everyone matches. I have seen dark jeans w/ sports jackets, khakis and button-up shirts, and for our wedding the groomsmen are wearing black pants, white shirt and pink tie (to match the wedding colors). Just go with something you and your fiance will be happy with in the end, good luck! |

| Please no khakis! They are for the average Joe M-F. How about linen pants? Its casual and cool, but it looks so much nicer. All they would need then is a crisp white shirt. They could even forgo ties if its that casual. |
