Yes-- God forbid that they should not look like a chorus line in rented costumes.
Seriously-- decide what time of day you're going to be married, and how formal you want to be. Then let them come up to spec on their own. It's a social occasion, and your friends ought to know how to dress for one of those.
Informal/morning? Dark grey or blue suit. Casual/afternoon? That may require a little negotiation, but telling them to do the navy blazer thing should suffice. White trousers if you're on the shore in hot weather. Formal/evening? Decide if you're going to do white or black tie, and let them work it out. And so on.
or move to Japan
