Need Help Deciding on Shoes and Tie for Beach Wedding

[BadgerInSeattle]

Hello,
I am attending a beach wedding where the bride and groom have stressed a more casual attire. However, I always enjoy dressing up and am trying to add a bit of interest into my otherwise traditional wardrobe. I am planning to wear a khaki suit with a light aqua blue gingham or solid lavender shirt with button-down collar. I have yet to make up my mind on tie and shoes and am looking for some advice.
For shoes, the following AE wingtips have caught my attention:

The walnut pair would certainly look good, but I am uncertain about the blue leather pair. Would I skip the belt with the blue pair? Would a solid light blue shirt be a better look with the blue shoes or would a blue pocket square pull it together?
Any recommendations for ties?
Please note that I am 6'7" so my selection of shoes (size 15/16), shirts (all custom), and ties (extra long) is severely limited.
Thanks in advance for your time considering my situation!

As for skipping the belt, if you have belt loops, you need a belt. If you want, you can have a tailor remove the loops and add suspender buttons.

I would probably not try to match my shirt to the shoes. If you are unsure, I think you should go with the walnut shoe. You might also want to consider the McTavish, which is somewhere between the 2 shoes in terms of formality. It is still structured, but has a double leather sole and contrast stitching: http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF4035_1_40000000001_-1
The natural or dark brown might work well.

Thanks for the response. Surprisingly, the local Nordstrom has all of these in size 15 so I will try them with the suit and see what works best.
