Bow ties are a classic way to add a touch of personality to your look on your wedding day. There are literally thousands of options and it can be overwhelming to choose, especially when there are so many other decisions to be made!
A bow tie can add colour, pattern and a touch of whimsy or luxury to your outfit. It is a detail of your wedding day that will stand out in photographs and most likely draw attention during your celebrations. But it is also an item of clothing that can be passed down to younger generations as an heirloom, holding memories of your special day.
There are many stylish options around, but we’ve narrowed it down to some favourites. Below are a few I absolutely love and are guaranteed to have you feeling dapper in no time!
Colourful
If you’re looking to add a pop of colour to your outfit (or if your entire wedding is a colour filled day!) these bold bow ties are an excellent choice to make you look sharp. A bow tie with texture is perfect to keep the look modern, and the block colour implies a bold and effortless style. The velvet would be an excellent choice for a winter wedding, adding a touch of luxury and warmth. These bow ties are the ideal accessory for a navy or grey suit (or even a pastel hue), and would look even better with matching socks.

Patterned
Whether you’re looking for something floral or something with a check or pattern, these beauties would be perfect for an outdoor wedding. Again, paring either of these with a softly coloured suit (light grey, dark olive or cream) would look great. If you’re really brave, you could even add a patterned shirt into the mix!

Classic
If your dream wedding is black tie, there is no going past these last two. An elegant Tom Ford tie with a slight gloss which would look sharp paired with a tuxedo with matching lapel. Or the luxury Louis Vuitton tie, perfect to wear with a tailored suit and accompanied with many bottles of Moet & Chandon. You can not go wrong here, a simple and classic bow tie will add style and sophistication to your outfit.
