Summertime is around the corner. Even with the global pandemic, couples can still execute their dream wedding idea. In fact, there’s no better time to plan an intimate pop-up summer wedding than during this period. But with a summer wedding, the question about proper wardrobe, attires, and style will come up. While the brides seem to have many options, most grooms tend to stick to the classic black tie.
A pop-up ceremony during the summer gives the couple a chance to let out the fun and creative side of their personality. Therefore, it’s time for grooms to ditch the traditional options and go for bold choices, colors, and styles for the ceremony.
If you have no idea where to start, here are some ideas for classic groom attire.
1. Light Linen Suits
If you are looking to go for a classic pop-up summer wedding outfit that will look great by the beach, in a park, or on a dramatic cliff overlooking the ocean – you can never go wrong with a linen outfit. Don’t want to go all linen? How about light-colored pants and a linen shirt for a casual wedding?
Once you have the groom’s outfit ready, Pop The Knot can provide you several elopement options in your city for the perfect pop-up wedding.
2. Bold Blazers
Bold blazers are a crossover divide between casual and formal wear. For couples planning for garden pop-up summer weddings, colorful shades, especially in a lighter shade, are a good option. If you are looking for a beautiful gazebo or well-manicured gardens, we will make the process easy for you by connecting you to perfect venues.
3. Light and Bright Suits
During the summer season, temperatures are very high, making darker-colored suits a burden for the groom. Incorporating some pale colors, such as gray, lilac, and sky blue, will keep the groom more comfortable because the attires don’t retain heat. In addition, a stylish and light suit is practical and on-trend for a pop-up summer wedding.
Depending on the wedding theme and colors, you can model the suit’s colors to fit the occasion.
4. Ditch the Jacket
There are so many things to think about when planning a pop-up summer wedding. You have to find the perfect ceremony location, come up with the guest list, and more. You don’t want to have to worry about sweating on top of that.
But good news fellas. Pop-up weddings are meant to be untraditional so the groom can feel free to ditch the jacket and wear a colored or patterned shirt instead. And even more good news…without the coat, you have more options available. For example, you can wear a short-sleeved shirt for an outdoor barn or garden ceremony.
5. Colored Tie
If the groom is wearing a white shirt, they can add some color to the outfit by adding a colorful and vibrant tie. This playful pattern adds a twist to the outfit, especially for summer weddings.

6. Patterned Shirt
A patterned shirt instantly adds some life and personal style to the groom’s attire. As you shop, consider light-colored shirts that have playful patterns. You can pair this shirt with a tie that contrasts the colors. Choosing these options gives your wedding a casual and warm feeling.
Pop-up summer weddings come with a fun spirit; therefore, coupling it with some lively outfits adds some flair. Apart from the shirt, you can also opt for a patterned bow tie and suspenders to add a classic look.
7. Khaki Suits
Most grooms don’t consider khaki outfits when thinking about wedding attire. Khakis are rich in neutral tones and have a light, airy material that’s perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. The other advantage of this attire is that it complements the shirt, especially a white one. Grooms can make this look pop by adding a boutonniere.
8. Shorts
During summer, some couples opt to travel to a different destination for their wedding. For couples who prefer traveling to a country with hot climates, the groom can opt to wear shorts and avoid sweating that comes with a full suit.

Summary
The warm weather and sunny skies during summer call for relaxed styles, especially for the groom. Several attire options are available to break the monotony of traditional dark suits that come in black, dark grey, and navy blue.
