    OH wears a suit everyday so wearing a suit to him isnt dressing up if he wears black suit white shirt so for weddings he tends to wear his navy suit a dark shirt (his is a darker shade of navy) and a tie that goes with my dress. I dont think I would necessarily avoid a white shirt as its the easier and usually cheaper option but for a grey suit id try find a nice shade of grey to go with it or maybe even black

    Suit
    Shirt
    Tie
    Any colour combination that looks smart and depending on time of year. If he usually wears a bowtie then that should be fine.

    Whatever you do, don't try to match the tie to the bridesmaids! If I was the bride I wouldn't care less, but apparently lots of brides can get seriously put out about that sort of thing.
