Wedding attire question. (maybe some really dumb questions inside)

I am going to a wedding soon and the BF is coming with me.

I spoke to the bride and she said that the guests can either wear a suit or slacks and button down.  The BF has a navy suit that he can wear.  What would be a good color shirt for him to wear with it and what color should I wear?

I know nothing about fashion. 

When X and I went to weddings, he wore a black suit, so I just wore a black dress.

Do I need to coordinate with him, but not be matchy/matchy? Or should I just wear whatever color and not worry about what colors he is wearing? 

I am completely clueless.

Please and thank you for any and all advice. Smile

ETA: It is a 6pm wedding.

  • i think matchy matchy is weird when done on purpose.

    i i say wear whatever you want and he will probably do the same. if he has asked for your input on a shirt for a blue suit - i'd suggest a white shirt, or a white and blue striped shirt... or a even a different shade of blue.

    LBD matches with a blue suit if that's your concern on what you should wear.

     GL!

    ditto.

  • You do not need to wear the same color as him.  Navy is neutral so you can wear whatever color you like and it will look good with suit.
  • YAY! Thanks for the advice, everyone. :-)  I have the perfect dress.
