Groom outfit foreign wedding

amus

Hi,
Im getting married in Greece next year and am just wondering if anyone else has any tips on dressing the groom! He doesnt want a full on 'posh' wedding suit but obviously he wants to look smart, but, abroad wedding smart IYSWIM!! If youve had/are having a wedding in a hot country what did/is your groom wearing and where did you get the suits? Also I have two little boys so would appreciate any recommendations for them also!!

Thanks.

linen is supposed to be cool in hot weather so how about some dark linen trousers and a short sleeved white shirt

My OH is wearing some cream linen trousers (which he's not picked yet, he's so fussy!), a posh white shirt (that I got in the sale!) with the sleeves rolled up and some cream flip flops. He lives in flip flops in the summer so it seemed silly making him wear anything else but I did buy him some nice new ones that he's not allowed to wear right now in case he gets them dirty!

We had some issues about making him stand out from the others since we have asked all of the men to wear neutral colours so they'll be wearing cream/beige trousers and white linen shirts. OH is very warm normally, never mind in the Caribbean heat, so a suit wasn't an option and he was worried that if he wore a coloured shirt he'd get dark patches where he'd melted! So.... I got him this shirt, and like I said above he'll roll the sleeves up to make it a little more casual and comfortable. The shirt is a little... fancy, but it's better than his suggestion which was a garish Hawaiian shirt!
