Groomsmen attire

So I'm nowhere close to being a fashionista and FH is even worse and color blind so I think we need some help. We picked out bridesmaid dresses from David's Bridal in dusty blue. We've asked the guys to wear a charcoal grey suit because that's the color they all already own. Initially we were going to do a dusty blue shirt with a deeper blue tie as I saw an add that looked like that and it looked nice. However we can't find dusty blue shirts and now may have to go with white shirts. Now I'm worried the guys aren't going to look ok because I have no sense of style... thinking dusty blue tie or maybe a light grey tie. Groom is wearing light grey suit with dusty blue tie.

Is there a website that you can preview different color suit, shirt and tie combos.?
Wedding colors are dusty blue and grey.

You'll be fine with the groomsmen in white shirts with dusty blue ties. I do recommend checking with David's Bridal to see if they have ties in that color, since different companies can have different shades of the same color. But I'm doing dusty blue for my wedding and the groomsmen are in charcoal, with white shirts, black ties, and cognac shoes and belt. And then my FH is in a dark blue suit, white shirt, black tie, and cognac shoes and belt.

What color is your dress? If it’s white than you’ll be fine with white shirts. If it’s ivory make sure they (groomsmen & your fiancé) get ivory. Was told by my photographer that is your dress is white & they wear ivory, it’ll make your dress look dirty in the pictures. Either way, those shirts will look fine. I’d check with David’s about the matching ties.

I think David's Bridal has partnered with Generation Tux. So they should have matching ties.

I too am doing dusty blue! Such a beautiful color. I actually think white shirts would be a lot better than dusty blue ones. That would go great with a navy tie.

White shirts are considered more formal than blue but honestly every combo you've suggested sounds great. White shirts are the best choice even if your dress is ivory.
Grey tie with a grey suit and white shirt is very Cary Grant - see, for example, North by Northwest and To Catch a Thief.
If you're interested in this sort of thing, grey-ish ties in patterns like the ones below (shepherd's check, houndstooth, or glen plaid) are considered especially classic for weddings.
