Insight wanted for wedding suit choice
I think anthracite/deep navy would be very good options both for a formal event like your wedding (congratulations!) and for future use. 3 piece is a great way to take it up a notch formality wise but I'd stick to same color of suit and without any pattern (contrast is acceptable, i.e. light grey/pearl, but would limit reusability).

Best way to store a belt without damaging it/causing issues long term?
Hanging them straight is a must for reptile belts, which are more susceptible to damage when folded. On cowhide and scale less leathers hanging is favourable but also folding works, if it's not too tight.

Best shoes to match Levi’s 501?
When I pair my Barbour and jeans I like to use lug soled boat shoes, makes it a little more casual than loafers.

Which watch should i get
2 and 4 are best options for a minimalist style. Round could work well, but not the ones you suggested (chronos and a diver aren't minimalist, as they have additional elements to fulfill their specific function).

Chukka Boot Advice
Not familiar with Sid Mashburn or Morjas quality, but style wise they are all basically identical. You'd consider also Berwick which is, quality wise, similar to Loake 1880 line (and better than main line I'd say).
Surely C&J quality is top notch, but I like Alden style more on this type of boot, which is a little bit different.
Of course price point of these two is different.

Oxfords vs Derbies vs Bluchers - Topic of the day 1/12/25
I get that visual difference, while worn, is very often overlooked by whoever has no knowledge about the topic, but still, isn't attention to detail, research and effort (regardless of final style) one of the interesting points of this hobby?
For me a formal suit calls an oxford, and not a derby, which will see much more wear on many more occasions. It's a choice.
Nobody notices, but I do, and I like.

Can I wear dress pants (suit pants) casually without Jacket?
If they are separate pants (i.e. not part of a suit), I guess it's like wearing pants with formal tailoring... it does work, just need to pair them well with top part.

Blazer shoulder help
Can't tell very well from pic but seems like a "spalla a camicia" (shirt like shoulder), which is a distinct trait of Italian and Neapolitan tailoring.

I think both fit good, brown doesn't look big (if anything, yes sleeves are a bit long but nothing excessive).

Gold jewellery
If it's intended to go on toes (did I get that right?), with these dimensions you might find something which is solid gold, and not plated, with your budget. At least 14k, simpler designs maybe also 18k

Another black derby post (Solovair Gibson)
If you were looking for AE/Alden/etc, did you try Berwick or Meermin? They will fall within your budget.
If you want a chunkier style like Solovair's, tho, they are not the right choice, they offer classic styles.
