Hi, bees!

So now that all of you have had a sneak peek at the Ostrich dress, you may be wondering what Mr. Ostrich’s ensemble will be as we stand beside each other on the beach.

When we first got engaged, we knew one thing right away—no tuxes!

Mr. O and his best men would look like penguins standing in formal attire along the shore. We wanted to find an outfit for Mr. O that went along with our beach-chic vibe and one that he liked and felt comfy in. A comfy, cute groom = a happy groom! :)

We figured a light silver gray color would look charming on Mr. Ostrich. He has a skinny navy suit from Banana Republic’s Monogram Collection that looks smokin’ on him, so a skinny, silver gray suit was what we were on the hunt for—kind of like Ashton Kutcher’s suit in those Canon commercials:

So the search began.

And like my dress search, Mr. Ostrich lucked out and found his favorite suit within a matter of days. And like his blushing bride, he ordered it online!

Here it is, my darling bees—the Italian Cotton Ludlow Suit by—who else?—J. Crew.

And since we’re going to be on the beach, Mr. Ostrich and his best men (who are wearing the same outfit, minus the jacket!) will be rockin’ skinny navy ties, vintage brown leather plaque belts, and some cool, off white Sperry sneakers. Mr. O is all about his sneaks and thought this would be a thoughtful touch. I agree!

How about you, stylish bees? What cool threads are your favorite guys wearing on your special day?

Our guys wore vests, Chucks, argyle socks, and blue ties. I loved it. Love your guys’ outfits too.

P.S. I love the quotes. Are you not going to do them anymore?

So cute! My man is also wearing a suit, but it is a khaki colored cotton. He is also going to rock the slim navy tie and suspenders, which I am soo excited for!! Mister got his suit custom made from indochino.com if other people are looking for suit options. It fits him perfectly and he looks amazing! He also got two free custom shirts and a tie for buying his suit there.

Love the look! I’m leaning towards the guys not wearing jackets….too stuffy for our casual wedding so thanks for the inspiration! I can’t wait to see it all together!

I’m so jealous! I want to do light grey suits SO badly, but we’re not sure we can find something reasonably priced. We’re willing to splurge on Mr. Ottawa’s suit, but don’t want to ask his GM to fork over a lot. If we can’t find a good deal, we’re just going for black suits.

Love the gray suit! They will look stunning in photos.

My groom (and the GMs) will be wearing guayaberas and linen pants for our Florida Keys beach wedding. Guayaberas are traditional wedding garb in Cuba and other Caribbean islands, and they go perfectly with our tropical/South Florida location and theme. Here’s an idea of what they look like:

Cute! Most of the guys will be in their military blues, but if I could, they would be in the black Ludlow suit, no doubt.

We’re undecided on suit color (medium gray, dark gray or khaki) but know we’d like a whimsical tie. I can’t wait to start tackling the details.

@Miss Ostrich: I love quotes and your use of them reminds me of a college class, so I think it’s a great idea.
