Wedding Ties & Accessories Guide for Men
Luxury silk ties, handkerchiefs, tailoring and formal accessories for grooms, wedding guests and occasion dressing.
Choosing the Right Wedding Tie
A wedding tie should complement both the occasion and the overall outfit. For classic formal weddings, timeless silk ties in navy, silver, burgundy and sage green remain elegant choices. For spring and summer weddings, floral prints, paisleys and lighter silk textures can bring more personality while still feeling refined.
At Harvie & Hudson, our luxury ties are designed to work effortlessly with tailoring, crisp shirts and formal accessories, helping create a polished look that feels elegant rather than overstyled.
Matching Wedding Ties With Shirts & Suits
The most versatile foundation for wedding dressing is a crisp white shirt paired with a navy or grey suit. White shirts allow ties and accessories to stand out naturally while maintaining a clean, timeless appearance.
For more relaxed weddings, pale blue shirts and textured tailoring can soften the look without losing refinement. Silk handkerchiefs, grenadine ties and elegant cufflinks all help complete the outfit.
Groom vs Guest Wedding Style
The groom’s outfit should feel slightly more elevated than the guests. A premium English wool suit, textured grenadine tie, silk handkerchief and double cuff shirt create a refined formal appearance without looking overly ceremonial.
Wedding guests can adopt a slightly more relaxed approach with floral silk ties, subtle paisleys or softer seasonal colours. Summer weddings also allow more freedom for lighter tailoring and linen jackets.

Black Tie Weddings & Formal Eveningwear
For black tie weddings and evening receptions, a dinner suit with a bow tie remains the classic choice. Satin or barathea bow ties paired with matching cummerbunds create a timeless formal look inspired by traditional British eveningwear.
Braces are another elegant addition to formal dressing, especially when worn with dinner suits or tailored trousers for a more refined silhouette.
Wedding Colour Inspiration
Wedding colour palettes help guide tie and accessory choices. Navy and silver combinations remain timeless, while sage green, champagne, blush pink and burgundy tones work beautifully for seasonal weddings.
Printed silk ties and floral designs are particularly effective for spring and summer weddings, while grenadine ties and richer silks suit autumn and winter celebrations.
