Best Groom Attire For A Mexico Beach Wedding
When it comes to wedding day attire, grooms can feel left out of the conversation. I’m here to tell you, your big day deserves the look of your dreams and you may have more clothing options than you thought. A Mexico beach wedding is the perfect opportunity to think outside the box of groom attire and add color, comfort, and style to your big day. Here are three tips to consider as you plan your wedding day look.
Beach Weddings Call for Lightweight Fabric
A beach wedding is not the place for a full tux made of heavy fabric. Instead, a beach wedding calls for comfortable, lightweight options that look good and fit the more casual vibe. With an outdoor wedding, you’ll want a light fabric like linen that won’t have you cooking in the sun and will match the relaxed surroundings.
Another alternative to a full tuxedo is a simple suit or even a nice dress shirt and pants. Your attire should fit within the dress guidelines you provide to guests and be similar to the formality of your partner’s attire. While weddings on the beach of Mexico tend to be more casual, formal beach weddings can also be a beautiful occasion, and you and your partner should consider how fancy you’d like your big day to be before choosing wedding day attire.

Play With Color
A beach wedding is often a more laid back affair than a ceremony in a church or indoor venue. This can open up options for your clothing beyond the traditional. Consider colors outside of the standard black or navy. Tan or beige suits can work well for a beach wedding in Mexico or you can take your color scheme even further with a deep green or burgundy.
If a full suit of color feels too intense, a classic white dress shirt tucked into colorful pants can be a casual and fun twist for your wedding wear. When incorporating color, make sure to coordinate with your partner — no one wants a color clash on their big day.
Add Accessories
When you’re keeping your attire simple, fun accessories can be an easy way to liven up your ensemble. Consider a boutonniere that matches your soon-to-be-spouse’s bouquet, a funky bow tie, or a colorful tie. Accessories are also an area where you can incorporate sentimental items. While groomswear doesn’t get quite the hype that bridalwear does, your wedding is your big day, too. Incorporating little touches that help you feel comfortable and confident can add to the memories you’ll make.
Don’t forget the shoes! Choosing shoes for a beach wedding depends almost entirely on where your ceremony and reception will take place. Similarly to your attire, traditional polished dress shoes likely won’t fare well on the beach. If your ceremony is happening on the sand, consider more relaxed, comfortable shoes that won’t get scratched and dusty, or you can skip the shoes entirely and add to the casual and intimate atmosphere of your wedding by going barefoot.
