Tux or no tux?

I think no tux would be fine for our groomsmen we just had them in a white dress shirt with suspenders

We got married in July last year on one of the hottest days of the year. The guys wore tuxes. My husband, the groomsmen, and the bride's man (my brother) wore black tuxes with white shirts and vests and ties that matched the bridesmaids' dresses. My dad wore a grey tux with a white shirt and grey vest and tie. Our wedding was indoors so the heat was really a problem. They took a few outdoor photos, but in the shade and they were outside for maybe ten minutes if that. During the reception, they removed their tux jackets and just wore their vests, ties and shirts. Tuxes are the most formal attire for a guy to wear so depending on how formal your wedding is going to be it might seem odd if they aren't in tuxes.

I live in CO and I get cold easily but I am overheating in shorts right now. Unless the ceremony and reception are both indoors with the AC blasting I would skip tuxes. I’d make outdoor photos very quick without jackets. I like Melle’s idea above.

I would definitely not put them in vests and jackets if they will be outside. Even by 10am I feel like it’s too hot already and my kids are ready to start playing in water. I think dress shirts and suspenders look nice, but what does your FH think? My FH told me to tell him what to wear, but the more I asked for input the more input he started giving me- it is his attire and his day too. I’m partial to white dress shirts, but you could always do grey, wedding colors, or even black if you wanted to. It’ll still be hot, but at least dress shirts are breathable. I barely want to wear a shirt most afternoons, so wearing dress pants, a dress shirt, a vest, and potentially a jacket sounds miserable.

Ours will be in late June so it'll be hot, also. We're doing an outside ceremony and inside cocktail hour/reception, so we're going with tuxes. The ceremony will be 20 minutes max, so I'm hoping they'll be fine for 20 minutes.

I think you could do tuxes if the ceremony was short and there weren't too many pictures taken outside!
