These colors are in perfect harmony with the bright sun, dark ocean waves and high blue skies.
Attention! You should give preference to simple hairstyles with decorations from fresh flowers, as well as light natural makeup.
Clothes can also be decorated with flowers. Of course, you should not wear high-heeled shoes - it is better to remain barefoot and enjoy the warm sand of the beach.
The groom can be advised to dress in light trousers and a white wide shirt; another good solution would be trousers or formal breeches in olive, beige, or coffee shades in combination with light sleeveless shirts. Again, it is better to refuse a tie, jacket and shoes. In general, the image of the groom should exude courage, strength, and energy. Don't be afraid to roll up your sleeves and trousers, don't be shy about tanning. Sometimes even a slight stubble will do.
Advise guests to wear any light clothing of not too bright colors, appropriate for the special occasion - short light dresses or skirts with light blouses, trousers or shorts in combination with shirts, but not T-shirts or T-shirts. Try to make sure they all have similar styles.
