I'm not entirely sure which forum to post this in, so here goes:

This is not a very serious issue, but I'd appreciate some opinions, especialy from ladies or guys with good taste. Some friends of mine are getting married this weekend, and I will be attending the wedding. I don't know them too well, so I'm not a groomsman or anything, but I'm still not entirely sure what to wear.

I have a nice blazer, plus pants and black dress shoes, but I'm specifically wondering about the shirt/tie. I want to look fairly formal but comfortable, without being too businesslike. Are there any rules/traditions I should know about colours? Should I wear blue or white shirt (or something else?), and any opinions on how the tie should match? Or even when a tie is needed (hate the damn things.)

If it helps, I'm tall (6"1') and blond, and fairly thin. I haven't been to many weddings, and the last time I was only 12. This wedding isn't too formal, but the groomsmen are still wearing tuxes. Mostly I want to be able to impress one particular friend of the bride, and not look like an idiot while doing it. Anyway, thanks for the help.
