What to wear with ivory sportcoat in Sonoma?

I am attending an afternoon outdoor wedding in June in Sonoma. I have a nice, lightweight, two-button, silk/wool sportcoat that is a solid cream/ivory/off-white color. I would like to wear this jacket to the wedding ceremony along with slacks and tie. I am having a hard time, though, thinking of good color combinations for the outfit. I have just about every color of shirt, tie, and slacks available to pair with the jacket. And I am not afraid to wear brighter colors (purples, pinks, etc.).

I was thinking about a darker brown pair of slacks and then try to come up with a good shirt and tie combo. I have also considered navy or beige slacks.

Any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

Tropical weight grey trousers are the first thing that comes to my mind. With the neutral trousers and jacket you'll have any number of shirt and tie options to consider.

Here are some combinations that come to mind:

1. ink blue (i.e. couple shades lighter than navy, but darker than royal blue) pants, pale yellow linen shirt +- blue stripes, tan belt/shoes

2. faded mint pants, pale blue shirt, burgundy or brown belt/shoes

3. navy pants, yellow shirt, grosgrain belt in blue/green or blue/orange, brown belt/shoes
