The style of the bridegroom's clothing can be influenced by many factors, including the time of day, the location of the ceremony, the ethnic backgrounds of the bride and bridegroom, the type of ceremony, and whether the bridegroom is a member of the
Armed Forces.
National or ethnic traditions • In the
United States, the bridegroom usually wears a dark-colored suit for a daytime wedding or a

morning suits; unless a uniform is appropriate. • Bridegrooms of
Scottish descent often wear
full Highland dress, as do their groomsmen. • In

bunad, the
