    groom is generally black and for the bride white or blue. There are old sayings
    Married in white,
    You have chosen alright.
    Married in blue
    Your suit is true
    Married in brown
    You will soon be put down
    Married in black
    You will wish your self back
    Married in green
    You are not fit to be seen
    Married in pink
    Your spirits will sink
    Married in Yellow
    You are ashamed of the fellow
    Married in red
    You will wish your-self dead
    It is also a custom to wear, some-thing old and some-thing new, some-thing borrowed and something blue.
