White Dinner Jacket for a Beach Wedding

We attended a semi-formal beach wedding last weekend at a private home on the Jersey Shore. The sun shone just long enough for their wedding, then blessed them as the heavens opened up and then rained, but for only one hour during the cocktail hour.

Rain on your wedding day means you will be easily blessed with children. The rain didn’t dampen the reception at all. Large tents were positioned on the private beach to keep the sun off, and in this case, also the rain.

The beautiful bride wore an equally beautiful beaded ankle length wedding dress (hem longer in the back) with matching sandals. In place of a headpiece, the bride wore her hair up with a tropical flower which she also held in her bouquet.

But, what I briefly want to tell you about is the groom’s wedding attire. He was so handsome. I wish I had pictures to show you, but I left my camera at home.

The groom was dressed in a white shirt, unbuttoned at the collar with no tie, white dinner jacket, black tux pants, and black sandals. A handkerchief in the jacket’s pocket matched the aqual bridesmaids dresses. His look was very sexy.

A white dinner jacket is appropriate for weddings between Memorial Day and Labor Day and perfect for a beach or destination wedding. Remember, it’s your wedding and you can wear the style you feel the most comfortable in, be creative…enjoy your day.
