What Color Tie Should the Groom Wear?

The groom’s tie color should make an impression while matching the wedding theme and colors. That may sound like a tough call, but it’s actually easy when you shop ties for the groom at The Tie Bar.

Here are some top-notch ideas for a groom’s wedding tie colors:

• Honoring Tradition: A traditional look features a neutral color tie such as grey, white, or ivory. No matter the season or venue, a white tie or bowtie is a stylish way for the groom to stand out while matching the overall occasion.
• Elegantly Formal: A navy, grey, burgundy, or black tie is a refined and sophisticated color choice for a formal wedding.
• Casual and Relaxed: When the wedding is casual, the groom will have more leeway in choosing a colorful tie or fun pattern that harmonizes with the season, theme, and venue.
• Synchronizing Colors: Another option that works for any season, theme, or venue is for the groom’s tie to pick up the main color in the wedding flowers.

Coordinating Ties for Groomsmen

Matching or contrasting tie colors — what color tie should groomsmen wear to create a coordinated, harmonizing look?

Matching the Groom’s Tie

Groomsmen can wear ties that match the groom’s, and although this creates a unified look, it may cause confusion as to which dapper man is the groom. This can easily be solved by varying the style — the groom can wear a bow tie in the chosen color and the groomsmen can wear neckties in the same color.

Any tie will look even better when the groom and groomsmen are wearing well-tailored suits that fit properly. Darker suits are handsome for fall and winter weddings, while lighter fabrics are great for more casual or spring and summer weddings.

Complementary Colors

Complementary colors provide another solution to ensuring the groom stands out from his groomsmen. The groomsmen can wear ties that complement the groom’s tie without overshadowing it. For example, if the groom wears a burgundy tie, the groomsmen could wear blush pink ties. If the groom chooses a dark navy blue tie, the groomsmen could wear light blue neckties.

Selecting groomsmen’s ties in the same color family as the groom’s is a stylish option that maintains harmony throughout the wedding’s color theme. Veering into strong contrasting colors can be tricky. Try to avoid dramatic contrasts such as a blue groom’s tie and orange groomsmen’s ties, or a purple groom’s tie and red groomsmen’s ties.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Tie Colors

As you’re narrowing down your tie plan, be sure to factor in the season, venue, and level of formality of your wedding. A pastel floral groom’s tie would look out of place at an evening winter wedding. An elegant silver silk tie might be too much at a casual summer wedding in the country.

It’s easy to choose the right necktie when you harmonize your tie color with the overall color scheme of the wedding. For example, if the wedding party’s attire, table linens, and flowers will be sage green, you can’t go wrong choosing tie colors in warm green tones. Even if you love red, it would be too much of a contrast to the sage green and would detract from the harmony of the color scheme.

The Tie Bar has a wide range of beautiful 100% silk ties featuring complementary colors in the same style family. Exploring these families of colors will make it easy to select the perfect neckwear for your wedding, no matter the season, venue, or theme.
