Looking for opinions on groomsmen tie color for my wedding
Our wedding colors are green+gold. It's an outdoor wedding, early October, mid-day, out in the woods. All groomsmen and myself will be in medium-grey suits and white shirt. I'll be wearing a grenadine green tie (https://www.kentwang.com/accessories/ties/grenadine-green.html) and would like to order my groomsmen something complimentary. I ordered them all this green "grenalux" tie https://www.thetiebar.com/product/tie-5129-0185?srsltid=AfmBOorgllf9QgYak8jXVlfIcYmglXW5KSY0Esp9V12jRxme5k9z8fLh but am honestly not a huge fan now that I have them in hand. It's kind of close to my tie, but noticeably different, in a way that clashes instead of compliments.
My thought is to instead get them a totally different color, either a sage green (https://www.thetiebar.com/product/tie-5129-0301) or a champagne (https://www.thetiebar.com/product/tie-4735-0205?variant=30518sk). My budget doesn't allow for more than ~25 bucks a tie, so I'll have to get some lower quality ones from the tie bar, etsy, etc.
How do y'all think the sage and/or champagne will look with the medium grey suits, white shirts and white/green boutonniere? I'm leaning toward the champagne, but am open to and hoping for feedback and suggestions.

Shirt and tie for funeral
Hi, in a follow-up to my recent post I'm also looking for a steer for a shirt and tie I can wear to a funeral. I have a charcoal suit, and am assuming a white shirt and muted tie is appropriate? I have a few dress shirts already, will probably just wear white with the least-spread collar I have. But do y'all have a recommendation for a tie I can pick up?

Affordable black oxfords
Got a funeral next weekend and need black shoes for my grey suit (usually wear my brown ones). Is there a MFA standard for affordable/lower-budget dress shoes that will work in a pinch? newer to discord, if there's a thread on here that already covers it please point me that way

Asian accent piece for cocktail attire
Hi! I'm going to a wedding where the bride is from hong kong. For the rehearsal dinner she said "You and [my gf] can wear something Asian if you have it, or just cocktail attire if you don't." The invite says "Chinese formal / cocktail attire" for the dinner.
I would feel weird wearing full Chinese formal, so I'm definitely not going to do that. But I thought about wearing an Asian accent piece with my dark grey suit. I'm thinking a Cheongsam necktie or maybe pocket square.
Would that be appropriate? Do y'all have any other suggestions? Thank you in advance!
