Though most settings demand little or no alteration in traditional wedding clothes, there is one exception: a beach wedding.

Fortunately, if you understand the fundamentals, it’s not too difficult to begin putting together your ideal wedding attire. We will share with you the fabrics we think go best for a beach wedding suit, focusing on linen.

1. Think About the Venue

Well, you know it is at the beach, but that is not all there is to it. Will your beach wedding be held on a remote public beach or the exclusive sands of a five-star resort? Will there be a change room available to you?

Your planned reception will also have a big role to play in your attire. Maybe a tuxedo isn’t the best option if you want to eat outside on the sand.

2. What Does She Want?

If your bride-to-be prefers barefoot nuptials, you might look ridiculous in your tuxedo and formal shoes. The same is true if she wants a white wedding with all the trimmings, but you prefer to wear thongs.

3. It Depends on Where the Beach Is

Choosing the right suit for a beach wedding is heavily influenced by the location of that beach. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right outfit for different beach settings:

1. Mediterranean Beaches

Mediterranean locations frequently require a blend of elegance and comfort. Choose somewhat more structured suits in fabrics such as lightweight wool blends or chambray. Navy, olive green, and rustic browns look great with the Mediterranean palette.

2. Tropical Beaches

When planning a tropical wedding, keep it light and breezy. Linen suits in light colours such as beige, sky blue, and even pastels are suitable. These fabrics are ideal for handling heat and humidity, ensuring your comfort throughout the event.

3. Cooler Climates

Beach weddings in cooler climes, such as Northern Europe or the Pacific Northwest, may require a little extra warmth. Consider suits made with thicker linen blends or even tweed. Darker colours, such as charcoal, deep blue, or even burgundy, offer a sense of formality to these events.

4. Linen to the Rescue

Linen is one of the most preferred fabrics for suits, and for good reason. It’s high-quality, durable, and extremely breathable, making it ideal for summer weddings! When it comes to picking the perfect suit, there are certain general factors to consider, as well as some that are specific to what you’ll do at the wedding. Also, see whether there is a theme to follow. You don’t want to spend a lot of money on the perfect suit just to stand out like a sore thumb on the big day.

5. Colour Colour Which Colour Do You Wed In?

When selecting a wedding suit, consider the colours of your wedding theme. You don’t want to clash with the centrepieces or the wedding canopy, so choose wisely, even when selecting accessories.

1. Grey

If you want to strike a balance between formal and smart casual, then a grey suit is great. It’s more relaxed than a conventional black suit while still maintaining a sense of formality.

2. Black

If your partner insists on a formal wedding and all that comes with it, a conventional black wedding suit is a safe bet. It’s seldom the first pick for a beach wedding, but as we always say, a dinner jacket is never a terrible idea, especially if the beach will be more of a backdrop for your wedding.

3. Navy

Everyone’s aware of the popularity of the navy shade in recent years, and you may even own one already. When combined with brown shoes, the navy suit is a smart casual alternative that elevates the otherwise pale linen suit.

4. Beige or Tan

These are the classic colours for a linen suit and are frequently used in beach weddings. Choose these colours if you want a more informal and comfortable appearance at the altar.

6. Beat the Heat

Whether the wedding takes place at dawn or dusk, the temperatures may still be too high in Australian summer. Hence we recommend you choose the “unlined” option for the suit jacket. You will then have a jacket that is extremely comfortable, breathable, and lightweight.

7. Shoes That Pair Best with Linen

Here’s what we recommend:

For a versatile wedding ensemble, consider classic Oxford shoes for formal elegance, Derby shoes for a polished yet comfortable look, brogues for a touch of intricate detailing, and loafers for a sleek, laid-back vibe. Another style of footwear that might not work for any other theme apart from the beach is sandals! Leather sandals are one of the best options when you’ve to deal with sand while still looking dressy.
