Advice please : beige/tan suit with dark red gingham shirt

(In particular people have commented that the black tie looks to severe or may have negative connotations i.e. Mourning the lose of my friend)

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts and/or suggestions.

Thanks

here's Phat Guido doing it with a navy tie

or combo of both

If its an outside, daytime wedding (or more casual), I think it could work. However, I would do a blue gingham with navy knit.
