Advice Needed :Tie or No Tie For The Groom ?

[jdybnsn]

Hi

We are getting married on Grand Cayman -at The Grand Old House.

Though the wedding will not be on the beach, we will be getting a photo shoot done there later in the day.

 

My fiance is wearing a pale sand/beige coloured linen suit, with a white linen shirt (short sleeved).......so its a fairly casual look. Do you think he should wear a tie ?

 

Just can't decide if this would look appropriate or not (and if so what colour/ type) :confused:

 

Any opinions ?

[fegan01970]

Totally my opinion, but a linen suit doesn't need a tie...especially with a nice white shirt underneath it. It totally speaks of casual, seaside elegance without one.

 

Of course, if he decided to wear one, it would look great.

[Prinycesa07]

No i don't think he should with a linen suit.

ditch the tie.....

[klauer]

Why not wear the tie for a few shots, then take it off for the rest? I think it is always better to have more options to choose from.

Are you wearing a more formal type wedding gown or is your dress more casual? If you're wearing a "full blown" wedding gown, the tie might complete your overall look more. If your dress is more understated, then I'd say ditch it.

Hi

No I'm not wearing the big frothy dress - whilst its not exactly casual its much more understated than average......probably this one ;

I say ditch the tie, too! :)

 

Your clothes seem like they will really complement each other. Good choices!

Wow. I love that dress! :D I would say no tie then as well. I think it would complement much more nicely.

[jdybnsn]

Thanks for the replies and the kind comments about the dress (don't you just love the price too $250 !).

 

............no tie it is then (my fiance will be very happy about this ) ! :)

[micked10@earthlink.net]

Love your dress! Absolutely no tie. You will both look elegant.

Best wishes

My daughter is getting married at the GOH in feb. If you are getting married on the beach i would say No tie. Do you know how far the port is from the GOH? Thanks and good luck

[jdybnsn]

Hi born2batc :)

 

GOH is just over a mile from the port.

 

We are getting married on the pier at GOH, but we are having photo's at nearby Smith's Cove... and also doing some "Trash The Dress" shots in the sea !

Please let the poor guy make up his own mind.

 

After you all are married you will have plenty of time to tell him what, when and how to do everything.

 

So let the poor guy enjoy some freedom for after all it wll be his last chance to do so.:D

though I'm a bit worried that it doesn't look too much like a wedding dress as it is pale biege rather than cream...even though it was in the wedding dress section...........though this has some pluses and minuses of course post-wedding (lol).

[kruise22]

Our date is January 30th, 2008.

And I also meant to say that the groom is wearing a tan suit with navy tie and the groomsmen are wearing tan pants with white collared shirts and navy ties, no jackets. Should they have boutinere's or just the groom since he is the only one wearing a jacket?

[jdybnsn]

. Should they have boutinere's or just the groom since he is the only one wearing a jacket?

 

Personally preference really.

 

I think I would have them all wear one - I think it will 'signify' to other guests more clearly their overall 'status' in the wedding party.:)

 

Are your jacket-less groomsmen wearing long, or short sleeves ? another dilema for me....its difficult to know where to cross the line with the casual look.:confused:

[kruise22]

Defintely long sleeve collared shirts. Rolled if necessary.

I go for No tie... Hi kram

[heidi ho]

no tie...
