going to a wedding next weekend somewhere a little bit posh. now I've got a suit sorted out and shoes, but the question is what colour shirts and ties are appropriate for a wedding? all i have is a white shirt, or a dark blue shirt for work basically.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having been to six weddings this year I have some idea. I always go suited with a white shirt and a tie. Sometimes the tie was even matched to my wife's dress.
Quite a few people will probably have a white shirt.

I wore a pink shirt and no blazer, but it was 30 odd celcius in the height of summer.
Can't go wrong with black/grey suit, white shirt and a nice tie. Pink or purple seem to be popular.

I wear a Black Suit, and a dark shirt (Black/Brown/Grey/Blue) and get a tie in similar colours to whatever the GF is wearing.

gonna go have a look at asda tomorrow on lunch break see what they have in. i don't want an elaborate expensive tie, i don't know how often i will ever need to use it but i think matching the womans dress isn't a bad plan

If someone told me they'd chose a tie to match their missus' dress, I would understand it as, their missus chose a tie that matched her dress and then told him that he had to wear that one.

just make sure you don't match the invitation colours which usually gives a clue as to what the bridesmaids and bride's colour scheme will be.
I usually go for a white shirt and a pink or Purple tie. I did have a caramel one but the wife fucked it up in the wash.
