Miniature medals on civilian suits

I hold the Bronze Star with V and the Parachutist Badge. I understand that the miniatures of both the medal and the badge may be worn with Black Tie. However, it is unclear if the occasion is Black Tie Optional) (Marine Corps Ball) . May I wear them both as miniatures with a dark business suit? Or should I just wear the enamel pin for the BS and the jump wings pin (lapel pin).
I figure that someone here could give me a quicker response than HQMC.

    It is contradictory and not clear cut. Below is what I received and the way I will do it. I should add, that usually former Marines would wear their personal decorations, or also the Navy or Presidential Unit Citation ribbon.
