National Dress: If honoring your family heritage is important to you and your loved ones, incorporate aspects of your national dress into your wedding day attire.

Some common national dress options at weddings: Kilts are the most popular option in the United States, and are worn by men with or withoutstrong Scottish or Irish ties.  Auspicious colors can be added to modern formal wear as a symbol of your heritage. A red cummerbund, vest, or pocket square could symbolize good luck. Men of African descent might wear a dashiki suit or a grand boubou. Men with Latin American heritage might wear a guayabera dress shirt. Consider family traditions passed down through the generations. What special things represent your parents, grand parents and great grand parents?

Don’t forget about fashion all together though, embrace the laid back feeling of your celebration and choose a look you love. For a day at the beach, select breezy fabrics and unstructured shapes like drawstring linen pants and a lightweight short-sleeved shirt.  Wear nice leather flip-flops or sandals outdoors in the hot weather, no cheap rubber or plastic!   To stay classic, just relax the details of a traditional outfit. Go without a tie, roll up the sleeves of your crisp white shirt, and choose dress pants made with a casual fabric.  Wear a suit made of linen, cotton or seersucker instead of wool. Even at your most casual, don’t let your outfit seems sloppy. Strive to look fresh, clean, and casually polished so you look fantastic standing next to your glowing  bride.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Article provided by :Junebugweddings.com/grooms 101
