A Guide to Beach Wedding Attire for Guests - Destination Wedding Details
September 28, 2025 - For a wedding in octuber in cancun; around the beach at 7:00 pm; dress code said formal (long dress for women). I found a very cute strapless chiffon, airy, fresh, peach color, but it has some sparkling stones (not as shine) making a V from the strapless Neckline to the belly button.

Destination Wedding Dress Code Wording
What about tropical cocktail instead of tropical chic? That way it builds off an existing dress code that people are familiar with while still modifying in a way that makes sense and would lead people toward what you’re looking for More on reddit.com

Beach & destination wedding dress code
Don't choose a specific color or color palette. I know it's a trend on social media, but it's inconsiderate for your guests who shouldn't be expected to buy something to match your palette. I'd put information on your website, including pictures of suggestion dress styles. It sounds like you're having something beach casual, so describe khakis, linen or cotton pants for the men with similar shirts and casual, summer dresses or jumpsuits for the women. True cocktail attire sounds too dressy for a wedding where a groom wears a Guayabera. More on reddit.com

r/Weddingattireapproval on Reddit: Destination Wedding Dress Code Wording
April 4, 2023 -

I know y’all hate made up dress codes that confuse more that clarify , so I’m trying to make sure I’m not committing that sin.

The wedding will be at a restaurant in the jungle that has a lot of windows in order to show off a 270 lush rainforest view. It will be June so highs in late 80s.

I will be in a wedding dress and groom in a suit (possibly tan ). Ceremony and cocktail hour will be in daylight hours but it’ll get dark during the reception.

I’m thinking “tropical chic” meaning about cocktail attire or just under level of dress but encouraging bright colors , bold prints , lightweight fabric suits or even colored suits for men . Instead of traditional dresses , I wouldn’t be bothered if a lady went for a fancy 2 piece set or jumpsuit. Are there better words to convey that? I have a FAQ on the website where I’ve drafted language explaining the dress code in order to clarify.

Edit : Thanks for the feedback. Tropical Cocktail seems like the consensus .
