Mens Attire

[fegan01970]

My fiance and I are trying to figure out what he should be wearing. We are getting married in Aruba on the beach.

 

In his mind he wants like a tan suit with a white shirt, perhaps linen underneath. Neither one of us know where to begin looking for these. Anyone have any thoughts?

 

I also would want to then have his BM where maybe a floral shirt the color of my girls dresses. They are wearing Lilac. Anyone have any ideas where I could find these...

 

OH AND what about shoes?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Following is a web site for a company that sells casual/destination wedding attire. Mostly for brides, but even if you're not interested in their clothing, they have alot of pictures of beach weddings in the photo albumns. This might give you some ideas.

Why not a tan linen suit with a white silk shirt? It took me a while to figure out what a BM was! I suggest you try Tommy Bahama. I would go barefoot. Good luck, Aruba is a beautiful place.

We are getting married in Aruba too... as I think I wrote in another of your posts. My fiancé is going to wear a tan suit with a short sleeve white shirt underneath so he could remove his jacket after the ceremony if it is too hot ( I checked the temperature today and it is 30 degrees in Aruba!) . He decided to wear leather sandals but we will probably go barefoot for the ceremony. Here in Canada we bought the clothes this past summer at Tristan America but I don`t think it exists in the USA?

 

good luck!

30 degrees?????????

 

Ew!

Sunrise2008 is in Canada, so she's giving you the temperature in Centigrade, not farenheit. Average temperature in Aruba this past week has been about 84 degrees F.

haha, yes I realized that after I sent that. :rolleyes:

My husband wore exactly what you girls are talking about. He wore a tan suit with a nice white linen shirt that actually had some embroidery on it. We bought the suit and shirt at Macy's, that's just a big department store and he wore sandals (not flip flops). I was wearing an off white short dress. I thought our colors would clash, but it blended just beautifully and we were both sweating our butts off regardless. Have a great day! Congrats.

My fiance is wearing a short sleeved linen shirt and beige linen pants. His BM is wearing the same shirt and khaki pants. We are going barefoot..

Hey Colleen and Caroline! My fellow Aruba beach brides! :D :p My fiance just got this killer tan suit from Mens Warehouse and it looks AWESOME for a beach wedding! The salesman at the stores parents have a home in St. Maarten and he said that he often sells the suit for beach weddings. He's wearing dark brown leather flip flops with it and it looks great - and a long sleeved linen shirt underneath. The sales guy suggested the long sleeves because otherwise their arm sticks to the inside of the suit and it feels sweaty or something. I can't wait! I leave in two weeks and I'm freaking out over here - I just want to be on the ship already!!!!!:eek: :p

 

Colleen - have you tried 2go aruba again? I'm extremely pleased with them. If it takes a minute to get ahold of them it's because they are now dismantling all the christmas decorations from the island - their company does all of the set up for the Holidays so they don't talk to brides a ton between Thanksgiving and right now. I'm going through Edwina because Valerie had another wedding the same day and I LOVE Edwina - she also owns a company E2 celebrations that does like every event in Aruba so she's got alot of experience and is very professional. When it takes a bit for them to get back to you it's hard to NOT worry but hey it's the way they do it in the islands!! Good luck!

Hi Everyone -

 

Thanks for all the responses. I will try Macy's and The Men's Wearhouse...both good ideas. Oh, and the long sleeved linen is good to know!

 

Laura,

I will try 2goaruba again. I did finally hear from the original planner and we are back on track. Not too sure what happened, just with the holidays and she was sick with the flu for a few days. She is really great and knows what I want, so I am thinking of sticking with her.

 

Oh, funny...I think we talked about Karen before. I tried her again and after telling her how bridezilla I was about people not responding to me, she totally blew me off again!

 

Your date is coming up quick! Let us know how it goes. Congrats!!!!
