Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Beach Wedding Attire
What is the appropriate attire for a beach wedding guest?
Beach wedding attire is often called "beach formal" or "resort casual." This means choosing an outfit that is elegant yet comfortable for sand and sun. For women, a flowing maxi or midi dress is perfect. For men, a high-quality Aloha shirt paired with linen or khaki pants strikes the perfect balance.
Can men wear a Hawaiian or Aloha shirt to a beach wedding?
Absolutely! A sophisticated, art-inspired Aloha shirt, like those from Jams World, is an excellent choice for a beach wedding. It's stylish, appropriate for the setting, and comfortable. We recommend pairing it with light-colored trousers for a polished look.
What colors are best to wear to a beach wedding?
Think tropical and celebratory! Bright, vibrant colors like turquoise, coral, and sunny yellow look stunning against a beach backdrop. Soft pastels are also a wonderful choice. It's traditionally best to avoid solid white unless you're part of the wedding party.
What is the best fabric for a beach wedding outfit?
A lightweight, breathable fabric is key. Our signature 100% spun crushed rayon is ideal as it feels luxurious, drapes beautifully, and keeps you cool in the warm ocean breeze, making it perfect for both the ceremony and the reception.
Are long dresses or short dresses better for a beach wedding?
Both can be appropriate! Long, flowing maxi dresses offer an elegant, romantic look, while shorter midi or knee-length dresses can be easier to walk in on the sand. Choose what makes you feel most comfortable and confident.
Are Jams World dresses formal enough for a wedding?
Yes. Our dresses, especially the maxi and midi styles, are designed with artful prints and elegant silhouettes that are perfect for a "beach formal" dress code. When styled with the right accessories, they create a chic and sophisticated wedding guest look.
Do you offer outfits for the groom or groomsmen?
Many wedding parties choose our Aloha shirts for their memorable and unique style. We can help you find matching or complementary prints to create a cohesive and handsome look for the groom and his groomsmen.
How should I accessorize my beach wedding outfit?
Keep it simple and elegant. Consider dressy sandals or wedges, a stylish sun hat, and delicate jewelry. For men, a nice watch and leather belt complete the look.
How do I care for my outfit after a day on the beach?
Our rayon apparel is designed for easy care. We recommend a gentle wash in cold water and hanging it to dry. This will keep your garment looking beautiful for years to come.
Do you offer matching outfits for couples?
Yes! We offer many of our signature prints in both men's and women's styles. A matching or coordinating couple's outfit is a fun and stylish way to attend a destination wedding together.
