Barn Wedding - Men's attire

Soon2bMrsDeFino, on October 31, 2012 at 11:31 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

I am wondering what my FH and groomsmen should wear. We are getting married in a barn but then the reception is at a hotel. I am going with a more casual dress and am doing the rustic/casual decorations, etc. I have decided I want the guys to wear a suit instead of a tuxedo and probably just a tie instead of both a tie and a vest. Is a black striped suit too fancy still?

Thanks for any suggestions or help!

    I don't think its too much... But you could also consider doing grey suits to tone it down a bit

    Or even brown or tan suits (depending on your color scheme).

    I do like the dark grey suits. The ties I believe are going to be Black and Yellow or yellow striped. I keep questioning if adding another color like the grey for the suits/tux will look funny because its not in our colors. I guess I could always just add grey as part of our colors.

    I guess when I think of grey suits I think of a destination or beach wedding

    What do you think of these suits? Very out of the box in contrast to a black suit but I thought that it was extremely stylish.

    I look at a black suit like this. If you buy it you will have it for everything, weddings, church, funerals, job interviews. Macys has great sales. We just got my daughters FH at macys. Looks great. Cheaper than tux rental.

    We bought ties online, there are so many choices for ties.

    No if you have black in the tie I would say the first picture you posted would be perfect for casual but still dressy Smiley smile

    Grey, khaki or no jackets; vests only. All will work just fine; with the vests, they can always add the jackets for the hotel.

    I love the grey suits, but vests aren't my style personally. I also don't think white suits look good ever one anyone, so personally I wouldn't go that light, although khaki might work.

    It's okay to be dressy in a barn, we're getting married in a barn and M is dead set on tuxes for him and his gm.

    I love the no jacket look that Hayley posted. With the tie you posted I would stick to a black suit, the one you posted originally is classy and can remain somewhat casual.

    I'm getting married in a barn and my fiance wants to do black tuxes too. i tried to convince him to do suits or do brown but he doesn't want it... i guess to him he's "supposed" to wear a black tux... just like i'm "supposed" to wear a white dress. It'll look fine- im not worried about it.
