If you are getting married before 6pm, then you have some options. But following the traditional rules, black should not be worn before 6pm unless you are a clergyman.
Morning clothes are a possiblity. The morning equivelent of a tuxedo is the stroller coat. It is a gray sack coat worn with a dove gray waistcoat, gray striped trousers, a pleated shirt with a turn down collar and a gray tie.
The morning equivelent of full dress (white tie) is the cutaway. It is a gray tailcoat worn with the same trousers and waistcoat as a stroller. It may be worn with the same shirt and tie or it may be worn with a wing collar shirt and a cravat.
But if you are going to turn down the formality a bit, and if its a garden wedding that would seem appropriate, then a summer suit would be good, especially in a gray.
The idea of blue blazer and white trousers appeals strongly to me and would be a common choice in my part of the country. And a panama or boater would go nicely.
