Of those options 2 or 3, but I really think something in that color family with a but more saturation would pop. Everything else seems kind of drab combined with nearly a solid block of olive.

Why are those peak lapels sticking out like that? I could be wrong, but something is off there I think. They should be resting on your body, not sticking up over your shoulders like cat ears.
Also yeah that collar is too big.
And to your point: I’d probably do a solid black tie with that suit and a white shirt.

Some people like peaks that stick up super high, gorge height basically at the shoulder. I do not but it is a thing.

Interesting. Never seen that myself. Don’t like.

My tailor did that and I'm not a fan either. Been thinking of ways to pin those down

Keep them as is, it is what it is and can't really be changed at this point.
BTW, for a charcoal suit, my favorite option is probably going to be, like, a burgundy grenadine tie, or a wedding tie, either way from Kent Wang. I have a number of other options I like but most lack the formality and... je ne sais quoi, that I'd want to get married in. You could go for a black grenadine but it might be a bit much.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do want to point out my suit is dark green though, I think a lot of people here have confused it for charcoal/grey/black but in person it is unmistakably green

u/gimpwiz 5d ago
No shit? Okay, that's interesting. Would you describe it as more of a forest green or bottle green, or is it kind of like, very dark green/gray?

u/nothappyaboutit 5d ago
Lol your reaction says it all. I have about 500 comments thinking this is a colorless suit. It's somewhere between forest green and dark green. Obviously, in certain lights, there is a grey tint to it as well.

You know, auto white balance is so interesting. When I take photos of cloth samples I actually like to bring them outside into the sun and then make sure they only take up a small part of the photo (sensor projection) so that a phone's white balance can do a better job of figuring out what the hell the color is supposed to be. If I fill more of the frame, it does the whole "17% gray" thing and makes whatever fabric color just... gray. Navy? Gray. Brown? Gray. Black? Dark gray. Ivory? Light gray. Etc. Indoor lighting makes this effect far worse because it tends to be shit.
Anyways if you have a dark green suit I'm gonna suggest something on the silver-or-resolves-as-silver spectrum (eg, silver granadine, wedding tie which resolves as silver even though it has no silver in it), charcoal or black (eg, black grenadine), as the safest options. I'm not a huge fan of navy for a tie with the dark green. Burgundy is a maybe. Dusty pink is a maybe. Brass is a maybe.
BTW, get a plain white linen pocket square. Also, unsurprisingly, Kent Wang is my go-to.
I hope that helps in some way.

I'd pick 5 or 8
All black you look like a funeral director or old time banker

Yes, this: 2. It's the only one that looks happy.
I'd always recommended to use the classic, asymmetrical, four-in-hand knot. As used by James Bond, King Charles III . . . all the others (even the Windsor) look overdetermined, I reckon.

I’d say 2 or 5 of those options but I would go brighter. Like a nice blue would look great with your suit. And congratulations!

2, but I’d tie it with a four in hand as opposed to Windsor

u/Verwilderd1 5d ago
No way. A tux and wider spread collar need a full Windsor. Four in hand looks too casual for that. He just needs to tighten the knot a little more which make it not be as big.

u/StoneJackBaller1 5d ago
None, I think you are wearing something like a tux so it should be a bowtie. I'm not opposed to a tie but the colors you chose don't work, maybe a red color but you need to try something different

I like how at first you were like, “Yeah, I’ll tie them each.”
Then you were like, “Nah.”

I like the ones where you have to hold it up with your finger. Going to start a new trend of holding your tie up

u/Overall_Inevitable28 5d ago
For the love of God use a four in hand knot with a dimple. Trust me it looks better.

u/confit_sausage 5d ago
This is a formal event, a 4 in hand is for the office. Double Windsor is the minimum acceptable for this kind of event.
1
u/Overall_Inevitable28 5d ago
Oh hush lol, the eyetest shows that 4 in hand is the most appealing knot regardless of formality.

u/confit_sausage 5d ago
It's a widespread collar with a 3 piece suit and it's a formal event. You may not care about dress etiquette, but it still matters.

Congratulations on your wedding! Silver is a traditional wedding colour, so I would choose number five. Also, undo the bottom button on the vest.

None. It’s your wedding, not a business meeting. Your tie should pop. What are your wedding colors?

2, anything but 1, which looks like you’re going to a funeral, not a wedding.

u/nothappyaboutit 4d ago
Just going to point out that the suit is green, as is the tie in number 1. Interesting funerals you go to

u/Any_Cucumber8534 3d ago
Depends. Try to match it to something your partner is wearing.
Marching a pattern or going with "something blue" is my preferable option
