Not all grooms want to wear classic wedding attire, and that's perfectly alright! That goes double when it comes to wearing popular colors, like black, dark blue, or gray. Sure, it's easy to find tuxes and suits in "neutral" shades, but there's nothing wrong with branching out and choosing something more unique. That might mean donning a brighter hue or mixing conventional colors with unexpected ones. If you're worried about pulling off a color suit or tuxedo on your wedding day, turn to these men for inspiration. Their unconventional wedding looks made a statement down an aisle, proving yours can, too.

If you'd rather tackle your ensemble in one fell swoop, consider buying or renting a colorful set. This groom chose a dark red Burberry suit, for example. If your wedding's extra formal but you still want to wear color, we recommend a uniform tuxedo. Otherwise, you can wear a mismatched outfit, like a bright jacket with subdued pants or vice versa. For a casual party, try a blazer or a sport coat—you can find both in surprising shades.

As for what hue(s) to choose, it's best to consider your wedding's overall color scheme. Your outfit should complement the rest of your event's design. It's also about your taste and sense of style, though. Whatever you choose, make sure its personalized to you. Of course, in some cultures, colorful menswear is tradition. We've rounded up some ideas for those grooms, as well. Regardless, see our favorite suits, tuxes, and more in exciting shades ahead.

White goes with everything, and tempers an otherwise bold color choice. Try pairing a white jacket with colorful pants, as this groom did. His selections were from Zara.
