Hi, I am planning to wear a light grey Prince of Wales suit for a wedding (at night, which might be odd, but it's quite slim and modern). I was thinking of the possibles shirts and ties I could use with it. An interesting one was a light pink shirt with a strong pink tie, or a white shirt and a strong tie (pink, or maybe blue). All this with a matching pocket square.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Medium blue tie, especially if it matches the overcheck in the suit.

Matching tie and pocket square is an amateur move.

Well, I am indeed an amateur!. That's why I'm asking here for opinions instead of just deciding for myself..

Wear a white shirt, a dark blue tie and a white linen PS.

+1 You could go with a silk PS of some sort as well. Definitely don't wear a pink tie or shirt with a PdeG suit, especially on your wedding day!
