How to match partner's pink dress

[acinod]

I'm attending a wedding with my partner during the day and hoping to match her pink dress.

Initially I thought of wearing a pink shirt but I was thinking something more subtle using accessories would look better.

Would a midnight navy suit, white pocket square, burgundy oxfords and this pink bow tie work?

Note that my partner's dress is a slightly lighter shade of pink.

Also would a midnight navy suit be too dark or something like a french blue be better? I also have a medium grey suit but I prefer a bit of colour for the wedding.

I can't speak to suit color, that's your personally preference. However, why white pocket square? If you are trying to subtly match, why not matching pink tie and pocket square in a shade as close as you can acquire to her dress? I feel like your missing out on a low key opportunity by going with a white pocket square.

Personally wouldn’t try to match your partner but if you do it should be relatively subtle. Maybe a tie with pink stripes or spots, or pink socks. Either midnight navy or French blue would be fine—if you have both suits already I’d lean towards the lighter shade for a daytime wedding. If you have neither then midnight navy will be more versatile over the long run.

Cosigning this. Too much and it will look forced.
