Beach semi-formal

[MDMA .]

I wore this blue linen suit to my wedding in Jamaica last year.

I had a light pink shirt and brown brogues to go go with it.
We had an extra 10kg of luggage space for our wedding attire as a "wedding gift" from TUI.
Something to bear in mind if you are planning being there for more than a few days.

Some places in the Caribbean ask for this in the evening- so linen trousers, shirt, suede shoes etc.

Went to one on Kauai - my wife's cousin is American and lives on the island.

It was linen suits all round - jackets went very quickly as it was hot as balls.

Made a change from the usual UK style wedding.

You'll enjoy it.

Thanks for all the useful or entertaining suggestions. My wife is American so this is her side of the family so I imagine it will be a bit preppy. Semi-formal to me sounds like a mullet, the compromise between "business" and "party" ends up with something that is neither.

What are people's thoughts on boat shoes rather than flip/flops?

Just ask the organisers?

Surely this is the correct answer?

What a lovely place to have it. Proper paradise island.

First time I went they were filming Tropic Thunder so we flew over the set in a little-bird gunship. Great fun.

Just come down with Covid or something. No way I'm bringing smart attire to a beach island thing.

This is PH. Better to have 10 pages of guessing first.

White linen shirt.

Knee length tailored shorts.

Decent flip flops

Tailored shorts only work if you have skinny legs and anyway linen trousers are cooler. Heatwise I mean, not Crockett and Tubbs wise.

Those socks look dreadful.

Short sleeved cotton shirt, chino shorts with a belt and boat shoes. That'd be my pick.

If not I think this is some sort of thing at the moment.

Looks like Threads meets Weekend at Bernies.

Light coloured suit in a light material like linen, cotton or seersucker with a light coloured shirt and then slip on proper shoes.

I would go for a natural colour linen suit with a light blue shirt and some brown slip on shoes

Just ask yourself “what would I wear if I was going for a nice dinner with friends at a smart sandcastle?”

Hey! We're getting married and you're invited!

Tamsin and I have always loved the idea of getting betrothed on a beach below the slopes of the active volcano Mount Burachinocwa, on the almost inaccessible Polynesian island of Waratunga.

And, now we've made it happen.

So, cancel all other holiday plans you may have this summer, take your kids out of school in term time, waste your vacation leave on our vainglorious adventure, spend a fortune going to some god-forsaken place that's of no interest to you and watch as we marry on our secret beach, just yards from dozens of other, equally deluded couples, who's nuptials stretch away down the coast as far as the eye can see.

Dont forget to spend money on clothes that you're never going to wear ever again and most importantly bring your present with you

Love Tamsin & Harry.

Mwa!
