Arizona weddings are all about natural beauty, golden light, and yes—heat. Whether you’re the groom, part of the wedding party, or attending as a guest, the secret to dressing well in the desert is knowing how to balance style with function.
Here’s your local, expert-approved guide to looking your best while staying cool—perfect for Arizona summer and fall weddings.
Choose Breathable Fabrics That Handle the Heat
Even fall weddings in Arizona can reach 90°F+. Traditional heavy suits? Not ideal.
Best Fabric Choices:
Linen
Lightweight wool or wool-silk blends
Cotton blends for more casual weddings
💡 Example: This light linen suit from Jos A. Banks is a great visual reference for breathable, wedding-appropriate tailoring. At Artful Tailoring, we offer similar looks in our Made to Order collection—with your preferred lining, fit, and color.
Groom & Groomsmen: Modern Looks for Arizona Weddings
No one wants to sweat through their vows. Our most popular wedding suit options for Arizona grooms balance polish with practicality:
Recommended Styles:
Two-piece suit in soft neutrals (e.g., light grey, taupe, sage)
Vest + trouser combo for more airflow
Made to Order suits designed for desert weddings
Half-lined or unstructured jackets
🎯 Weddings at desert venues, vineyards, or mountaintop locations? Open collars, leather loafers, and lightweight suits are a classy and comfortable fit.

What to Wear as a Wedding Guest in Arizona
Desert weddings typically range from boho-chic to semi-formal, but the goal is the same: look good, stay cool.
Guest Style Tips:
Men: Light, breathable suits or dress shirts + slacks
Women: Midi dresses, formal jumpsuits, or suit separates
Avoid: Dark heavy suits or high stilettos (not sand-friendly)
