My guy and I are planning on getting married on the beach in Hawaii. No bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, or ring bearers. Just us, the minister, and those family members who could make the trip out with us. Our plan was to rent a house on the beach for our immediate family and walk out from there.
I’m looking at an ivory dress (since pure white doesn’t look right on me) and we were going to find him a nice linen shirt with some pants. For the guests, I figure let them wear what they are comfortable in.
My guy says that at least for his family, especially his mother and sister, we need to be more specific of exactly what we want them to wear. Here’s the thing, I’m not trying to micromanage someone’s wardrobe and I want people to be comfortable.
Is it unreasonable to think that most people in the world can figure out that if they are going to a beach wedding in Hawaii, that the guys wear a nice shirt and slacks, perhaps shorts, and the women wear a nice dress, perhaps a sun dress?
Do I really need to explicitly say "No jeans, t-shirts, holes, or stains"? He thinks I need to be explicit, but my thought is if his family wants to be immortalized in photography wearing jeans and a t-shirt to our wedding then thats on them.
