One of our wedding guests is attending another wedding this weekend. Also in the tropics, also on an island. All of the guests have been asked – nay, directed – to wear white. White, white, and white – right down to the shoes. I imagine the pictures will look dramatic and lovely, especially if they have colourful blossoms all about. And that is rather more controlling than we intend.
We’ve been asked many times, “What should I wear?” We won’t be telling anyone what to wear, not even each other. But we know you want SOME clue, so here is our answer, which harkens back to what guides us:
Please wear what you are comfortable in, what feels appropriate to the day.
Truly. Grass skirt and coconut shells? Now that’s some island spirit we’d like to see. Jeans? Sure, but you’ll be hot. Bermuda shorts or a prom gown? Bring it on.
It will be 80-90 deg F in Kauai in July, with fairly high humidity during the day. The resort is on the southern tip of the island in Poipu, so there will be a breeze most of the time, which will pick up in the evening. When we were there in December, that breeze was strong in the evening, and I wished I had brought a shawl or sweater some nights. Ed was just fine the whole time. We are told the Poipu breeze won’t be nearly that strong or cool in July, but I would recommend a light wrap anyway.
Small print: Please don’t wear white. Just saying.
