Thoughts and opinions on Gray SC, Pocket square and tie combos........

I have my rehearsal dinner coming up next Thursday and have chosen to wear a gray SC (seen below), black pants and shoes. What I haven't decided on was the PS, tie and shirt combo. I kinda defaulted to a white shirt with this jacket an pant combo, but realize that a light blue would be great, too. Not interested in pink although I know it would be nice.

Anyway, I'm new to PS's, but already have purchased a white linen one for my wedding suit and didn't want to repeat the "white linen PS" for my rehearsal dinner outfit. Below are 2 different combos I purchased of which one or both will be returned. I also thought of wearing a Grenadine type tie with a more patterned pocket square. For the record I have salt and pepper hair, I'm not sure that makes any difference. I'd like for it be very sharp, obviously, but soooooooo many choices.

Here are the Pics:

The tie is Armani and very nice, but was wondering if its a little too conservative.

The pocket square is being shown with the baby blue with white dots side. The PS has 3 different sides/shades of Blue so I have some options. I thought the light blue at least gave some contrast. I know that having dots on the tie and on PS is a "no-no", but didn't think of it at the time.

I thought the gray/black/purple tie and this PS would be a HomeRun, but I'm just not sure if it really as good as I thought it would be.

As you can see, the pocket square below has 3 different shading of Lavender so once I learn how to fold the damn thing I will have some options.

Thanks in advance, guys. This website has been a revelation for me.

Funny you mention that. I thought that someone might say it was "matchy-matchy" even though there is really very little purple in the tie. Maybe because its the only hues that arent black'gray.......you guys would know better.

I like the white linen, but was just hoping to start my PS collection by gettting something interesting for this occasion. It would be PS #2 in my library of PS's after #1.....the white linen!

Yeah, I guess it is a bit sedate and can probably do better. Would a sky blue shirt be better with this tie and give the outfit some needed pop? If so, I would get rid of the blue PS since that would be too matching.

I'm afraid ordering something at this point would be a little late. I will most likely need to rely on Nordstroms at this point.

More suggestions or pics?????

Not sure of this tie, but it caught my eye.
