What should my husband wear to an outdoor wedding this month?

The wedding is this month at a botanical garden late afternoon? We are invited to a wedding but should he wear a suit? should it be a dark suit with a white shirt and tie? We have never been to an outdoor wedding before. thanks.

What should my husband wear to an outdoor wedding this month?
A suit or a sport coat and khakis would be fine with a tie. He can lose the tie if it's not formal. I'd suggest lightweight, it can get pretty hot outside.
Reply:A late afternoon wedding would probably make it on the formal side, but the garden setting would make the occasion more casual than say a church or cathedral.





Since garden weddings evoke images of Spring time and pleasant weather, I think khakis and a dress shirt and tie would be just fine. The dark suit may be a bit "heavy" in look (and feel) for the occasion.





If there's a reception at a very formal place, such as a country club, he might want to wear a sports coat.





But I don't think formal dress is required for either of you. If I were attending such a wedding, I would wear a nice "church" type dress - not a long gown or a cocktail dress.





I'm sure the wedding will be lovely, and I hope you both enjoy the event.
Reply:If he feels more comfortable in a suit, that is fine - just make sure it is a light color. Dark suits absorb sun and heat and will be very uncomfortable if you are not sitting under a tent. A jacket isn't necessary either, but a tie should be worn. Beach weddings are one of the only occasions that do not require a tie.
Reply:A summerweight suit would be best - whatever colour he has.
Reply:u should ask all the men that r going %26amp; c wat color suit they r going 2 were. if they didn't decide, do a white suit. (black attracts more light making the person hot)
Reply:It might be hot, so I'd wear a nice clean pair of slacks, (not blue jeans), and a soft color shirt. Black leather shoes always look nice, whether for a wedding or a funeral, so go with some black leather shoes. Wear a blue or black tie, and if no one else is wearing a tie, you can always slip it off real quick.


I'd dress for the weather. I hope the weather is Ok for the wedding.
Reply:Board shorts and nipple rings.
Reply:The invitation should give you some pointers as to the formality of the event. If it's very traditional and engraved, he should wear a suit and tie as that indicates the wedding party will be formally attired. On the other hand, if the invitation is less formal, he'll be find if he wears a nice shirt and slacks, with or without a tie or sport jacket.





Most of the time, though, an outdoor wedding is slightly less formal than one held in a church or hotel. If he's clean and neatly groomed, that should really be enough. If he chooses to wear a suit to an outdoor even at this time of year, it can be a lighter color, but if he already has a dark suit it would certainly be fine.





If you're really unsure, feel free to contact someone in the bridal party or one of the families to find out how formal a shindig this is.
Reply:I would say to wear a suit with a solid color dress shirt and tie, it doesn't HAVE to be white, but certainly something along those lines.
Reply:I think you should have him in a lightweight suit (for his comfort). I would pick something with a color either a tan or if he only owns darker suits I would pick something that has a little color like a bottle green or at the very least a navy. Black suits are really for winter and he is going to be uncomfortable in one outside. I wouldn't do white...tis a little too Miami vice.





You can pair it with either a white shirt or a lightly colored shirt and have him choose a medium to light colored tie.





When he gets to the wedding if he see other men in khakis and polos he can leave the jacket and the tie in the car and will fit either way.
Reply:Light colored summer suit, gray or any other summer weight would be fine. Sounds very pretty.
Reply:Go with a standard dark suit. Maybe a colorful shirt and coordinating tie to lighten things up. (i like light green on guys) If it turns out he is very over dressed he can always take the jacket or the tie off. But most likely he'll be fine in this as the bridal party outside or not will probably be wearing tuxedos.

That will just about do it!
