Quick question first, how would you describe your body type? And how do you like your suits cut? I think those affect what you want to be wearing when the jacket comes off, with great options for all types and preferences.
I am 187cm, 100kg with a 34 leg. Bigger than I would like to be but not too bad. I have a strong build but am planning to lose bulk before the wedding.
You're definitely within the range for a tightly/well-tailored shirt as is then. In my opinion, if you can pull it off, a well tailored and flattering white shirt (plus dark suspenders), it's a better flex and look than a waistcoat for under a suit jacket.
Making a classic white shirt look perfect is harder than a waistcoat, and in men's style, I think doing something classic uniquely well is better than doing something that is a little unique normally well. Solid white with a bit of texture, fit perfectly with pants that do the same, there's a reason it's such a classic, with the ability to add a twist between the material and your suspenders. And then because it's such a classic, it's that much more impressive if you can make it your own and do it to its best degree.
Last benefit is you can guarantee it'll be timeless. You'll wanna look at these photos forever, and if certain looks or patterns go out of style, you can guarantee that a solid shirt that fits perfectly never will.
