November 12, 2022 - Lighter colours like light grey, brown, tan, etc. are fine for summer weddings. ... It really doesn’t matter, you can really wear any normal color, blues, grays, black, Latakia tan, etc.

r/weddingplanning on Reddit: What color suit for my groom and wedding party?!
December 29, 2023 -

What color suit should my groom wear? What can he do to look different than his groomsmen?? My dress has a darkish tanish/nude color underneath. Bridesmaids are in sky blue. And my mother’s dress is a dark purple. What color should I do the FOB and FOG and ring bears?! It is a formal wedding…. Would black be okay?! A blueish color?? My groom and I are pale, tan/beige. Wedding is in 2 months. Thank you for all your suggestions! I have been stressed about this decision for months

January 15, 2025 -

I've never owned a summer suit, and I have a long trip to France this summer that feels like a good prompt to expand my wardrobe with one. I'll want to wear it at a couple fancy restaurants in Paris and perhaps at something like the opera. I'm curious about folks' color. I'm particularly curious about whether some of the lighter colors would be appropriate in, for example, a Michelin 3 star restaurant in the evening. Light grey seems like an obvious choice, but I'd appreciate folks weighing in. I'm a fairly pale skinned tall and thin white guy.

I've liked Suit Supply in the past, so that's where I checked first. I saw some light grey, light green, light blue, and sand options that looked good. My biggest hesitation though is whether they'd work in an evening situation like the one it'll specifically be for. Thanks in advance!

Getting married in September and still don't have suits for the wedding party. Bridesmaids will be in emerald green. I originally wanted the suits to be beige/tan because it's an outdoor daytime wedding with a garden party vibe, but my fiancé was very adamant that he didn't want tan because he's mixed race and "look what they said about Obama!" So I told him in that case I'd prefer either light gray or black (not garden party vibes but it at least wouldn't clash with the other colors too bad).

He went yesterday with his best man to pick out suits and tbh I'm just grateful they didn't buy anything because I hate what they picked out. The best man is very opinionated on style and when he heard "daytime in September, emerald bridesmaid dresses" and saw a pic of my dress he decided to go full cottagecore. I ended up getting sent photos of my fiancé in emerald pants, a sage vest, and an ivory jacket and it's not at all the vibe I was wanting and frankly I didn't think it even looked good together.

I don't want to go full bridezilla on this because it's already been really hard on fiancé (his family is crazy and have been not only unsupportive but completely opposed to us getting married) and I got to pick out what I'm wearing so my fiancé should be able to pick out what he's wearing too, but he's trying to match a dress he's never seen before and the best man and I have very different styles.

When he got home from trying on suits I told him I didn't love the idea of everyone being in green, it was too much for me, and I'd really just prefer light grey or beige for the men, with a strong preference for beige. Come to find out my fiancé was JOKING about not wanting beige because of Obama 🤦‍♀️ I probably would've figured out that he wasn't serious about it a lot sooner but he's generally very easy going so when he said he didn't want beige I didn't push it.

I guess next time I just have to go with them to go suit shopping. Was kinda hoping this was one thing I could delegate but apparently not 😂

Hey guys,

Have a wedding (formal attire) that I'll be attending in may and originally I had planned to finally consider biting the bullet and going for a tailored suit but decided to leave that for another day mostly due to the cost and time frame to the wedding (4-6 weeks and would be cutting it very close).

To keep things short, ended up finding a nice light grey suit online thanks to some recent sales.

I had a couple of ideas in mind in terms of shirts / pants i.e, going for a two piece suit sort of look but not entirely sure on colour / accessories and I would love to hear your thoughts / opinions and suggestions around colour options, ties, pocket squares and other accessories based off of the photo's i've taken so far.

Colour options per the photo's but as per above open to other ideas:
Shirts - burgundy, navy, black, white
Pants - light grey, steel blue / navy

Not shown, at the time I was wearing a brown belt and shoes (chelsea style) but I do also have black alternatives of both.

Thank you in advanced,
Sneccers.

Go white shirt, allows for most use of ties / squares. I would go plain white square with a patterned tie, as it’s a wedding you could always have a subtle boutonnière Make sure you only do up the top button, also make sure you open those pockets and tuck in those flaps, will give a much sleeker look. Your sleeves are too long as well, see if you can get them sorted if you have time

You're right about the timeframe being too short to have a suit made to measure! I think you made the correct choice here. Just to be clear: it's only a suit if you wear the suit jacket and trousers together; otherwise it's just an odd jacket and trousers. A 'two piece suit' refers specifically to a suit jacket and trousers cut from the same cloth. In this instance, I would advise you to wear it as a suit - pale grey is a good choice for weddings, although this one looks a little tight across the chest and shoulders. Be sure to leave the lower button undone, as another commenter said. Definitely wear the white shirt - the other options are all far too dark to wear at this level of formality. In terms of ties and pocket squares, you have a lot of freedom as the grey suit/white shirt combination is extremely versatile. Pick a couple of colours you like and that complement each others. Pinks, purples, burgundies, pale blues, navies and golds will all work well - but you could even get away with a green or a yellow if feeling more daring. As it's a pale grey suit, brown shoes could work, but I would always suggest black shoes for a wedding. It will look smarter and more appropriate to the occasion. Just one final check: this is more a UK thing, but as you've said the dress code states 'formal attire,' are you absolutely sure you won't be required to wear morning dress?

Hi! Just looking for some advice on choosing a suit color for groom and groomsmen. For some details about our wedding, We are having a summer wedding, the ceremony will be in a rose garden! I really like the color sea glass from birdy grey for bridesmaids however I'm not sure what suit color would match this color as well as a garden 'vibe' any ideas? Or should I consider changing bridesmaid dress color to something more summery? Thank you!

November 26, 2020 - I agree with u/flirtandflutter for color recommendations. It depends on the tone that you guys want to project in your wedding photos. A grey-green suit would give it an elfin, earthy vibe. The green would match with the forest tone but pop when directly contrasted with the redwoods.

Wear chinos or suit pants. Chinos or khakis are a great option for casual weddings especially those that take place in the summer. You can also dress them up with some colorful socks and loafers.

Hello everyone,

I’m getting married May 26th. I can’t decide on a wedding suit color.

About the event: The wedding is in an outdoor garden wedding hall in Greece. About 300 attending. It is an informal event. Everyone would probably wear dress pants and a buttoned shirt. Only the groomsmen and close family will wear suits. No one will wear a tux.

Black and navy doesn't seem to fit the theme of the event. Beige kind of make me look pale.

Any ideas of a color that would match that kind of wedding but would still make me look like a groom? Thinking of green, light blue or light brown. The picture is something I'm considering.
