Do groomsmen have to wear white shirts?

Let me start by saying I hate white shirts! My dress is ivory and the colors are navy, coral and accents of rose gold. Bridesmaids are all in coral dresses. I want my groomsmen in another color besides white shirts. They are wearing blue suits. Do you think that's ok? I have picked out coral and navy accessories, striped ties etc.. Maybe ivory/champagne will be a better option. Help me please!!

My FH also hates white shirts so our groomsmen will be in burgundy shirts with grey vests and pants. Groom will be in a grey suit with a green shirt.
I think a coral shirt with the blue suit would look really nice! Like this?

You could also do ivory but it might just look like dirty white. Could you do a light blue shirt?

The guys in our wedding are wearing blue suits too and they're wearing white shirts. I personally think the white looks best but I'm sure an ivory would look fine too! They definitely don't have to wear white.

Ivory, light blue, or coral shirts would be perfect alternatives to white!

I actually would do the coral shirts. I think that would look nice. I’m also having my guys wear blue but I couldn’t get the FH to agree on rose colored shirts! I tried!

That does look really nice!! Now I just need to find nice quality coral shirts THAT actually match the Azazie dresses I ordered. Back to the drawing board I appreciate the feedback.

They don't have to wear anything you/they don't want to.

A nice light blue would look great, but really there are so many colors. Our groomsmen are wearing light grey shirts with charcoal jackets.

Gosh no! Ask your FH what he wants to wear. Maybe get some options and see what he wants to wear.

You never mentioned your FH or what he wants to wear. What color shirt he and his groomsmen wear should be his decision.

I think you should leave that up to your fiancé to decide. You take care of your girls & he’ll take care of his guys. But, they can wear any color shirt as long as it color coordinate.

FH is wearing white with a custom made suit.. He doesn't want the groomsmen to wear white either but Pinterest was making me think every groomsmen wear white. We decided on coral for the groomsmen and younger boys in the wedding party with vests and then Dad's in blush shirt. I think it's all going to look fantastic! I also found some cute striped ties and pocket squares in coral and navy that should bring it all together thanks for the jokes and not letting me take this too seriously ladies

Just wanna say that my dress is ivory and my colors were navy blue and coral and then I switched the coral out for guava because the bridal store we got the bridesmaids/maids of honor dresses from were lighter than I had pictured.
You can choose whatever color you want! I went to a wedding where the guys were in pink shirts...your wedding - your choice.
The guys in my wedding party will be wearing ivory shirts. (fiance's choice) I chose the ladies attire and he chose the men's attire.

Honestly, this is a personal preference so of course they don't have to!! I would say an ivory would look really nice with your colors!
