Short answer
Wear a formal suit in a dark colour like navy, charcoal or grey, with a white shirt and a tie. A morning suit is also traditional for daytime church weddings.
For a Christian wedding, the groom usually wears a formal suit. A dark navy or charcoal suit with a white shirt and a tie is the most common and versatile choice. For a daytime church wedding, a morning suit, which includes a tailcoat, waistcoat and striped trousers, is a traditional option, especially for more formal occasions. For an evening wedding, a black tie dinner jacket is appropriate if the invitation says so. If the wedding is less formal, a lighter suit in grey or beige can work, but always check the dress code. The groom should coordinate with the bridal party, so ask the couple about colours and styles. A waistcoat can add a polished touch, and a pocket square is a nice detail. Shoes should be polished leather, either black or brown, depending on your suit. If the ceremony is in a church, dress modestly and respectfully. Some churches may have specific rules, so it is wise to ask the vicar or the couple. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident, and to match the tone of the wedding.
