Can grooms wear alternative colors to their wedding?

Absolutely! If the bride and groom both agree on the color, wearing a pastel, neon, or a jewel-toned ensemble is a suitable option for all weddings.

What should grooms look out for when purchasing a wedding day suit?

What's most important is the style and fit of a suit. With so many options out there, grooms should always be sure to choose a comfortable and flattering look for their wedding day and beyond.

Are all suit types appropriate for all dress codes?

No. Consult your significant other on the theme, ambiance, and dress code. While tuxedo types are suitable for formal settings, a seersucker or linen suit is better suited for more casual nuptials.
