The
Proper Attire for the Victorian Groom
"He is expected to appear in black trousers, dress coat, which may be
either black or blue, white waistcoat, and white cravat."
|
"The
dress of the bridegroom is regulated by that chosen by the bride; if she wears a white veil,
he is expected to appear in black trousers, dress coat, which may be
either black or blue, white waistcoat, and white cravat; or, if a
naval or military person, in full uniform. If the bride should prefer
to wear a bonnet, the bridegroom should put on a frock-coat of black,
brown, or
other tasteful color, and light-colored waistcoat and trousers."
from:
"The Bazar Book of Decorum.
The care of the Person, Manners, Etiquette, and Ceremonials."
1873
