Beach Wedding Looks for the Groom

Don't forget the groom! Why wear the same thing when you can sport something cool and stylish! See the finds at the Wedding Bistro at Bellenza.

Casual Shirts

Crisp linen, cotton, or rayon shirts are a sure way for you to keep cool at your beach wedding, while looking every inch the tropical trendsetter or the Latino looker.
You have your pick of fresh white or neutrals, all the way to bold colors, Hawaiian prints and even subtle embroidery, if you wish. You can also choose short or long sleeves, plus a range of cuts from trim-fit to relaxed retro.

from first row to second row:

1 – White linen beach shirt from Maliposha Boys / 2 – Vilebrequin trim-fit linen shirt from Nordstrom / 3 – Hawaiian Paradise shirt from Lava Hut / 4 – Linen Monaco Shirt from Island Importer / 5 – Etch of Paradise Camp Shirt from Tommy Bahama / 6 – Cuban guayabera from Guayaberas Cubanas

Semi-formal Suits

If your ceremony and reception call for a more dapper image, the choices of summer suits are fabulous as well. Using lightweight fabrics like linen and seersucker in pale neutral and natural tones, they are definitely easy on the eye. You may wear them with a tie, a bowtie, a vest, or with an open-collared shirt. Handsome choices indeed!
