Let’s talk maroon. Not the rock band—you know, the color. That deep, sophisticated shade of red that has a presence all on its own. A maroon wedding is an unmistakable choice, and if you’ve landed on this color, you’ve got great taste. Whether you’re planning or attending a wedding with maroon as the star, we’re here to help you figure out how to style it without missing a beat.
At The Modern Groom, we know how to get the most out of a theme, and maroon is no exception. While we don’t carry maroon wedding suits (we feel like that’s a bit much for the man of the hour), we have plenty of options to pair with this bold color. Ready to dive in? Let’s get started.
Why Maroon? It’s Bold
Maroon isn’t just a color—it’s a mood, one that we’re especially fond of in the fall and winter. This rich, wine-inspired hue is bold enough to turn heads without shouting for attention. It’s warm and luscious and works with several styles and settings, from a rustic barn wedding to a black-tie affair. A maroon wedding says, “We’re here for romance, drama, and timeless sophistication.”
Maroon is also incredibly versatile. It shines as the centerpiece of your wedding theme but also knows how to play well with other colors. Whether you’re mixing it with neutrals, metallics, or deeper tones, maroon is ready to elevate your wedding aesthetic.
How to Pair Maroon Wedding Colors
Maroon is a powerhouse of a color, but even the strongest hues need a solid supporting cast. The beauty of maroon wedding colors lies in their versatility. You can pair maroon with earthy tones, soft neutrals, or even contrasting shades for a refined, modern look.
Let’s start with the foundational piece: your suit.
At The Modern Groom, we’ve got plenty of suits that match maroon perfectly. Our tan suits offer a lighter contrast, letting maroon accents pop without stealing the spotlight. Feeling a bit more formal? Our heathered navy, midnight blue, and charcoal suits pair seamlessly with maroon, creating a sharp look for you and your groomsmen. Even a light grey suit can work if you’re aiming for a softer vibe. And of course, you can never go wrong with a black suit if you’re going for that classic feel.
Like we said—versatile!
Maroon Accents: Ties, Pocket Squares, and Socks
While we prefer a traditional suit color over a maroon wedding suit for this once-in-a-lifetime event, maroon accents are where you can truly elevate your look. Think maroon ties, pocket squares, or even socks to add that pop of color without overdoing it. These subtle touches bring your entire look together, especially when paired with one of our expertly tailored suits.
Pair our navy or midnight blue suit with a maroon tie or pocket square for a sophisticated yet modern take. The deep blue sets the perfect backdrop, allowing maroon to shine without overpowering the ensemble. Or, go for a crisp contrast with our light grey suit and maroon accents for a refined look. The beauty of maroon is that it can be as bold or subtle as you want it to be—it all comes down to how you style it.
A Maroon Dress for Weddings
We can’t forget about the bridesmaids, can we?
A maroon dress for weddings is a classic choice that complements a wide range of skin tones and body types—darker hues tend to be more forgiving. Whether the ladies are wearing long, flowing gowns or chic cocktail dresses, maroon has a way of looking effortless. Plus, it photographs beautifully, so your wedding album is already looking good. Bonus: If someone from your wedding party spills red wine after one too many glasses, you won’t be able to see the stain! Kidding (we hope).
Bouquets and Boutonnieres
You’ll want the floral arrangements to tie into the maroon wedding theme without being too on the nose. Deep red roses, burgundy dahlias, and maroon calla lilies paired with soft greens like eucalyptus or dusty miller are a winning combination. You can even mix in blush or ivory florals to soften the look and add dimension to your bouquets.
And for the groomsmen? A maroon boutonniere paired with a maroon tie or pocket square is the ultimate finishing touch. It’s a simple way to carry the maroon theme through your entire wedding party without going overboard.
