Casual Groomsmen Attire (no suits)

KDS, on January 30, 2016 at 8:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

FH doesn't want to ask his groomsmen to get suits because most of them are spending a lot of money to come to the wedding. I'm fine with that because we are also having an outdoor ceremony in July. It will be warm, but the ceremony will be short and is in the shade. The rest of the wedding is indoors.

I'm torn between letting them wear short-sleeve button ups or something a little more formal. I like the look in the attached photo, but am not sure if suspenders are lame?

    I have this picture pinned on pinterest. I think this is a good way for the GM to look casual, but still formal enough for a wedding. And like you said they won't be too hot in the summer time!

    I also am trying to figure out what to do for a warm, July, casual wedding! It seems like suspenders or vests are all anyone does, but FH and I don't really like either look that much. I have no idea Smiley sad

    Were doing nice khakis or black pants with a nice dress shirt. No suspenders no vests, undecided on a tie.

    I like how the groomsmen look but for some reason I really don't like how the groom looks next to them. It looks really miss Matchy IMO

    Love the suspenders. I think it still fits a wedding. I think it's perfect for July.

    The suspenders look good because those guys are HOT. They could be wearing anything. Are all of your groomsmen the "look good in anything" type? (if so please invite me) I say this because my best friend has taken to suspenders recently and it looks godawful on him. Vests are much more polished and flattering.

    We are doing suspenders. FH doesn't even want a vest. He feels he will be too hot. So, it's long sleeve shirts with suspenders.

    I like the look of all of these men. Smiley winking I do thing this look is casual but maybe just have belts instead of suspenders. Maybe have them roll up their sleeves instead of short sleeves.

    Haha! Jenna I was kinda thinking the same thing.... maybe I just like the look because the men in the picture are very attractive.

    FH doesn't love the vest look. I feel like the guys would wear it for the ceremony and pics and then take it off. I guess that's fine though.

    And I just remembered that two of groomsmen have full sleeve tattoos, so long sleeve shirts are probably better.

    That's the look I am going for except the groom will be in a vest, no jacket.

    Love the photo and suspenders. It really boils down to your vision and how it's put together.

    I like the vests better, and I see them a lot. No sunglasses, no short sleeve shirts, no suspenders. And Jenna brings up a good point; not every body is going to look that pulled together with just suspenders.
