What to Wear (For Grooms)

For the bride is always easy to find the perfect dress for their beach wedding.  However, grooms are often left in the dark then it comes to options.  Just this morning I came across this website which sells what I believe is the best option for Beach/Outdoor Grooms http://www.weddingtropics.com/.

Due to our HOT  and HUMID weather, grooms should avoid tuxes and dark colors unless they are getting married during the months of January and February.  If he still wishes to “dress up” for the occasion, please opt for LINEN suits instead.  My favorite look is Guayaberas and linen khaki and pants.

Once last word of advice: Do NOT wear shorts unless the bride is wearing a short dress – it doesn’t look good! I’ve seen it many times; the bride with a beautiful long dress and the groom in shorts. You can still be comfortable and match your bride with linen or khaki pants and a short sleeve cotton or linen shirt .

Paul & Lee Anne Cocoa Beach Elopement

Paul & Lee Anne are a very fun couple. They eloped with their children (and mom) to Cocoa Beach.  Paul & Lee Anne chose the simple bamboo arch (Tropical Kiss Package) but instead of fabric, the arch was decorated with beautiful Turquoise shells and fresh seasonal flowers.

Diane & Andrew Leu Gardens Ceremony

Leu Gardens is our favorite Orlando location for intimate ceremonies and elopements.  For those couples that prefer to stay in the Orlando/Disney area instead of driving out an hour to the beach, this location is the perfect place to exchange vows and beautiful pictures with stunning sites and various landscapes.  Diane and Andrew eloped all the way from England with their two children and the site they picked within the gardens was ideal for a quiet and intimate ceremony.
