Choosing the Bow Tie for your Wedding Attire

A bow tie is the perfect way to change up the traditional wedding look while still keeping it classy.

Bow ties started in the 17th century; when men decided they were tired of accidental nip slips, and they needed something to keep their shirts closed. They are often associated with intelligence, but they are moving in the direction of representing a fun and playful side.

Bow ties are a type of necktie that are tied the same way you would tie a shoelace, however; there are many creative ways you can tie a bow tie.

A wedding bow tie can be more traditional and be black silk or cotton, or you can use any color/pattern you want. Many couples like to match their ties/bow ties to their wedding theme colors. It can be hard to find ties in the right color, but because bow ties are more quirky , you can find a huge selection for wedding bow ties.

This is also really helpful for grooms bow ties since they are often a color that is not black.

Should I Wear a Tie or Bow Tie?

This really depends on your personal style and the style of your wedding. A more formal wedding would typically have a black tie and black suit, or you could switch the black tie for a blck silk bow tie.

Both of those are still considered formal. An informal wedding or a casual wedding would be perfect for a bow tie of any color/design.

Summer weddings are perfect for a casual bow tie and suspender combination.

So, when choosing between wearing a tie or a bow tie for your wedding really depends on the type of wedding you’re having, and if you want to incorporate color then bow tie would be a better option.

Self Tie or Clip on Bow Ties?
