From Nordstrom: The words "formal" and "beach" may not seem like they go hand in hand, but you might be surprised at just how many options you have when it comes to both women's and men's formal beach wedding attire. For women, opt for a tea- or ankle-length dress with straps or short sleeves. You could also choose to wear a formal jumpsuit if you prefer. For more of a glam aesthetic, lean into elegant, lightweight fabrics such as lace, organza, charmeuse or silk. You can also elevate your beach wedding outfit with jewelry—think statement necklaces, chandelier earrings and an opulent bangle or two. As for shoes, avoid pumps, stilettos or any other style that will make you sink into the sand. Instead, opt for dressy sandals, wedges or shoes with a flat sole or chunky heel. Jeweled straps, ornate detailing or a more glamorous design will ensure your shoes match the formality of the event. Men's formal beach wedding attire does still call for traditional wedding apparel: a jacket, slacks and a crisp button-down shirt. To keep cool, choose lightweight, breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton, or consider a seersucker suit. You'll also want to wear formal dress shoes and thin socks. Avoid shorts, hats, flip-flops or open-toe shoes."
Whatever tropical means to you! This can be vibrant colors or patterns. Beachy. Or, even opt to bust out that Hawaiian shirt that's been collecting dust in your closet. The world is your oyster!
