Consider yourself a lucky man if you're a groom or groomsman who is in the market for beach wedding attire; chances are you're going to be part of a wedding that doubles as a vacation, and you'll get to feel just as comfortable when the vows are exchanged as you did at the engagement party. For this occasion, a groom and his groomsmen need an ensemble that is dressy enough (minus the cummerbund), but also casual enough for sand and palm trees. MisterShop.com has everything you'll need and plenty of experience serving destination wedding clientele to back it up.

 A company whose Illinois-based shop has been owned and operated by the same family for nearly six decades, MisterShop.com has sold wedding attire for men over the internet for the past six years. In a recent interview with GroomGroove.com, Ken Kurtz, President, explains that "We sell beach wedding attire for grooms and groomsmen 12 months a year." Kurtz knows that a couple getting hitched in January has more options than bearing snowdrifts and wearing mittens on the way to the ceremony. More than ever, couples are booking flights and packing the sunscreen for a destination wedding in paradise.

"The norm for beach wedding attire," adds Kurtz, "isn't cutoff shorts and t-shirts. Customers are ordering more casual, lighter-weight suits, and nicely-tailored linen suits, shirts, and sandals. Only about one out of every 300 customers will end up ordering a tie." If you're feeling as bold as David Beckham did for his wedding, MisterShop.com has a white linen suit that looks out of this Galaxy. It features a contemporary three button linen suit coat with flat front pants. Not meant to be perfectly pressed, the suit is maid of pure linen, which is one of the coolest fabrics on the planet, and shows its beach wrinkles. Relatively inexpensive, this classic beach wedding ensemble for grooms and the wedding party will run $269. One person (ie. the groom) can place a bulk order for the suits for himself and his groomsmen, and then have the suits shipped individually to each guy's address. This guarantees that all of the groomsmen can have the same, or at least similar attire, if this is the look you and your bride-to-be are after. Best of all, each member of the wedding party will get to keep the ultimate summer suit.

As for other trends, MisterShop.com has noticed groom's parties that opted to order the same dress pants across the board, but with different shirts for each groomsman.

The company also has a tip for grooms and groomsman about the timing of their order. Kurtz explains that he recently returned from New York to have "first pick" of the season's best formalwear. By the same token, Kurtz suggests that grooms and groomsmen order their suits on a similar schedule with the bridesmaids' dresses--at least two months in advance.

Part of it is fashion trend, and part of it is financial savvy, but beach wedding attire is increasingly hot. For a jumpstart on your beach or destination wedding, GroomGroove.com suggests MisterShop.com's beach wedding wear as its pick of the week.
