Japanese weddings are steeped in tradition, with the attire worn by the wedding party being an important part of this. Traditionally, white is seen as the most appropriate color for both men and women's formalwear at weddings in Japan. Men typically wear black or dark gray suits while women may opt for more muted colors such as beige, ivory, navy blue, burgundy red or deep purple. Modern couples may choose any other color they prefer to add personal flair to their special day.
