Wedding Ties & Bowties

The choice between a wedding tie and a bow tie comes down to your wedding style, dress code, and personality. A classic necktie in a solid color works for most wedding ceremonies and delivers a polished, traditional look.

A bow tie adds a touch of classic elegance and stands out in wedding photos. Many grooms choose a bow tie to differentiate themselves from the groomsman accessories, while the wedding party wears matching ties. Either way, pair your accessory with a dress shirt and suit that complement the color and fabric of your tie.

Start with your suit color and wedding theme. A navy suit pairs well with burgundy, blush, or silver palette ties for visual harmony. A black suit works with nearly any tie shade or print. To coordinate with bridesmaid dresses or ceremony decor, pull a matching or complementary color from the wedding palette. Order a free fabric swatch from SuitShop to compare tie colors against your suit and shirt before your big day. Floral wedding ties and ties with intricate patterns add texture and personality to a solid-colored suit.

Pre-tied bow ties come with the knot already shaped and a clasp or adjustable strap that fastens around your collar. They are a convenient option for groomsmen, a ring bearer, or anyone who wants a consistent, polished look without tying a knot.

Adjustable bow ties with a self-tie design let you tie the bow yourself for a slightly more relaxed, natural shape. Both styles come in the same high quality fabrics and colors. SuitShop carries pre-tied bow ties including the classic bow tie and diamond bow tie shapes to fit any wedding ensemble.

Satin ties and silk ties offer a smooth finish with a subtle sheen that photographs beautifully and adds aesthetic appeal to formal events. Cotton ties bring substantial texture and a matte look that works well for outdoor and casual weddings. The right fabric depends on your suit, wedding style, and the occasion. A satin bow tie is the traditional choice for black tie dress codes and pairs perfectly with a tuxedo. For a classic wedding ceremony, a high quality silk or satin skinny tie delivers timeless elegance. Order a fabric swatch to see and feel the texture before your special day.

Your wedding tie should complement your dress shirt in both color and texture. A solid tie against a white dress shirt is a classic pairing that works for any wedding. For more personality, try a floral tie or a tie with a subtle print against a solid shirt. Keep contrast in mind: lighter shirt colors let your tie stand out, while a darker shirt calls for a tie in a complementary shade. Add a tie bar to keep your tie in place and give your wedding attire a finished, polished look.
