Hey guys, trying to throw together an outfit for my wedding and here is what I have so far. I am a younger guy and I like slimmer fitting suits. I don't like to get too out there style wise, but not ultra conservative either. The bridesmaids will be in lilac dresses and my boys will be in navy suits. Eager to hear everyone's advice, thanks!

Suit: Suit Supply La Spalla Light Grey Birdseye

Shirt: Charles Tyrwhitt Lilac

Tie: 3" Navy Sandwashed Tie

Pocket Square: Not sure yet.. any ideas?

Shoes: Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue in Walnut

Think I'm on the right path ??

TIA

I like everything except for the shirt. I personally think that a white shirt is nearly always the way to go for weddings, but if you insist on a color, I would go for a much lighter tone, and if you are going with a solid tie, definitely not also a solid shirt in a different color. I'm struggling to find something that will work that is not too day time or casual, and the best I can come up with right now, on the CT site, is this:

http://www.ctshirts.com/us/slim-fit...3=webColour&cgid=shirts-formal-shirts&start=3




It's more summery, and invokes the shepherd's check of a traditional wedding tie.

I think you should go for the second suit and just replace the red shirt with a white or an off white one. It would look great.
