The most important accessory in a groom's outfit is undoubtedly a wedding tie. It is he who makes the image complete and stylish. In order for the tie to harmoniously complement the suit and give the hero of the occasion an elegant look, you need to choose it correctly and then tie it.
There are general rules for choosing this important accessory for a man’s wardrobe and rules for creating a wedding outfit. In this publication we will look at how to choose a groom's tie for a wedding, taking into account the listed rules.
Black suit
Formality: Versatility:
Black suit color is the most common and conservative choice for a wedding. It will look best with a snow-white bride's dress and discreet accessories like a black bow tie or tie. But when purchasing a plain black suit, remember - it is intended only for weddings, funerals and events of approximately the same level of solemnity. On ordinary days, it is better not to wear this color, unless it is diluted with stripes or checks.
How to tie a tie correctly?
Before tying your tie, fasten all the buttons on your shirt. An unbuttoned top button is allowed only in club style. When the accessory is tied correctly, its wide end half covers the trouser belt buckle, and the narrow end is 2-3 cm shorter.
A serious mistake is considered to be a tie that does not reach the buckle so much that the bottom button of the shirt is visible. It is also unacceptable when the narrow end of the product peeks out from under the wide one. The knot should not be tightened too tightly. It will look ugly.
Dark blue suit
Formality: Versatility:
Navy blue is considered the color that you can wear “to both the feast and the world.” At a wedding, a navy blue suit may seem too businesslike, but you can turn things around with colorful accessories like a boutonniere, pocket square or tie. This suit goes with any bride's dress, and after the wedding, with any dress code. However, keep in mind that when buying a dark blue suit for a wedding, the “plus” for versatility will become a “minus” for originality.
Peach wedding: accessories
Invitations are the first step in preparing for a wedding. That is why newlyweds try so hard to decorate them colorfully and romantically. As a basis for invitation cards, choose a combination of white and peach. You can add an element of mystery and romance to your postcards using lace, pearls or other hand-made techniques.
Place cards are usually made in the same style as invitations. However, if you want to make the cards more extravagant, you can decorate them with live fruits and small wooden sticks, such as toothpicks or skewers. Such cards will pleasantly surprise your guests and will become a wonderful decoration for the holiday.
Future spouses always dream that their guests will remember their wedding day for a long time. Therefore, at the end of the holiday, newlyweds can give small memorable souvenirs:
- Bonbonnieres with sweets.
- Chocolates.
- Jars of peach jam.
Blue suit
Formality: Versatility:
Light blue suits are all the rage right now. On the one hand, they are not completely extreme (like, for example, pink, green or purple), on the other hand, they are bright and stand out from the boring dark range. If your office doesn’t have too strict clothing requirements, you can wear this suit to work. Remember that like any other trendy item, a light blue or light blue suit may look unoriginal due to the fact that most men choose them for weddings today.
Practical advice for the groom
Armed with our tips, you can choose the perfect accessory color to match your suit. But you might be a little puzzled by the fact that it has a length and a width. We will look at how to choose them correctly. Ties are sewn with a length ranging from 125-145 cm. The taller a man is, the longer the accessory he needs.
There is a rule that allows every man to choose the optimal length of the product for himself. If you attach one end to the collar, the other should reach your knee. The groom who wants to tie a complex knot will need a longer product.
The width of the accessory varies from 8 to 14 cm. Sometimes designers develop very wide models of about 16 cm, but they only suit tall men of average build. The most popular width is 8-12 cm. This is what you should focus on. Gentlemen of large build should choose products with a width of 13-14 cm.
A man looks harmonious when the accessory and the lapel of his jacket are almost the same width. According to the second rule, the longer the shoulder seam of the jacket, the narrower the groom's tie. Shoulder length depends on the size of the person. Wide models look harmonious on slender young men. Overweight men should choose narrower models.
Having selected several models you like, take off your jacket and, hanging it on a mannequin or hanger, bring the items to it one by one and examine, as if from the outside, their combination. Having decided on the product, evaluate the quality of all its seams. Then hang the accessory on your outstretched arm and watch how it hangs. A high-quality product will hang gently on your hand without creating any distortions.
Gray suit
Formality: Versatility:
Gray color is often ignored, but in vain. Firstly, it will go perfectly with a bride’s dress in an evening style (deep colors like black, burgundy or blue), and secondly, with bright details it will not get lost in the crowd of guests in more familiar dark outfits. Moreover, a suit made of fine gray wool is perfect for any business situation in the summer.
Beige
Formality: Versatility:
Cream, beige and light brown are dangerous shades that do not suit everyone - especially brunettes are “lucky” in this regard. Also, a beige suit is not very versatile and will most likely look faded against the background of the bride’s dress. In business style, these colors are considered bad manners, so after the wedding, such a suit will probably hang on the hanger until the next special event. Moreover, unlike a tuxedo (or its economical alternative - a black suit), beige is not universal for holidays: at a formal social event, you will not be understood in a light suit.
How to choose the right tie?
Ties for the groom for the wedding.
You should know the most important criterion for buying a tie. It is matched to the suit, and not vice versa. The color of the accessory should be one tone lighter than the jacket and one tone darker than the shirt. For suits with a print, for example, stripes or checks, a plain model is ideal.
Experts advise when choosing its color to focus on the shade that is less in the print applied to the fabric than the others. This way you highlight it and make the outfit more harmonious.
A plain suit can be refreshed with a printed accessory or a model made of a plain fabric in a contrasting color. One of the fashion trends for creating a modern image of the groom is a black suit, white shirt and black accessory.
Light suits are paired with light accessories of the same color, but in a different tone. Wanting to achieve greater contrast in their attire, men prefer bright items.
Focus on your body type
The groom will be able to choose the perfect tie for the occasion from a wide range of accessories, if he takes into account his physique. If you are tall and have a thin build, you should choose wide models. They can have a large pattern or a pattern on jacquard fabric or horizontal stripes.

Tall guys with a large build also need to choose wide accessories, but in completely different colors. The best choice is plain products or a clearly marked geometric print. Young men with average build and tall stature can afford to choose any model they like. Their figure is considered universal and does not need to be corrected with accessories.

Representatives of the male population who are short and thin should wear plain models or with stripes applied along the length of the product. In addition to the listed models, plump men of short stature can choose products with small prints.
Taking into account the bride's outfit
The bride and groom are together almost all the time at a wedding, so their outfits should look harmonious. When choosing a tie, you should take into account the color of the wedding dress and the bride's bouquet.
The bride, who chose the timeless classic – a snow-white outfit, freed the groom’s hands with the selection of accessories. White color goes well with all shades. He only needs to take into account what the bouquet will be. According to the rules, the groom's tie and the bride's bouquet must be in the same color scheme.
When the bride has chosen a dress for her wedding in a fashionable shade of blue or soft ivory, the groom needs to choose a model only from the color range that goes well with these colors. Ivory looks harmonious only with a palette close to it - beige, sand, coffee and brown shades. Shades of blue, gray and pink go well with blue.
Checkered
Formality: Versatility:
If you prefer patterns to plain fabrics, we recommend a checkered suit for your wedding. Not so much a solemn, but an unusual option - and this is its main advantage. Let the check be restrained and in harmony with the main tone of the jacket (blue with burgundy check, for example). At a wedding, a checkered suit will look best in combination with a plain dress of the bride - this way it won’t dazzle the guests’ eyes. In the business dress code, large checks are not welcome, but such trousers and a jacket can be successfully worn separately. In everyday life they will become part of an informal classical ensemble.

Other accessories
The groom who wants to create a bright image can choose a butterfly or a neckerchief.
Butterfly
It is customary to choose a black bow tie for a tuxedo, and with a black suit you can combine either a black accessory or other colors, as well as prints. Butterflies in burgundy or red shades look elegant.
The rules for choosing the color of a bow tie for a suit and shirt are the same as for a tie. Young grooms for a casual wedding can choose a bright butterfly with a print for a checkered suit.
Neckerchief
Neck scarves are very comfortable to wear, and tying them is not difficult. There are many videos on the Internet that allow you to master this art. All scarves have a very beautiful combination of colors and fabric texture.
The rules for selecting an accessory for a suit are similar to those described above. A beautifully tied, well-chosen neckerchief allows the groom to create a solemn and stylish look
