Men's Wedding Bow Ties
Bow ties for grooms, groomsmen, best men and fathers of the bride all handmade to order in Britain, which means a whole wedding party can be matched from one run of fabric rather than assembled from stock. Elegant prints, romantic designs and styles you won’t find elsewhere.
Bow tie or tie?
Bow ties suit black tie, evening receptions and anything with a vintage or formal register. Ties are the safer default for a daytime ceremony and a mixed-age party. There’s no rule against splitting the difference: a bow tie for the groom against ties for the groomsmen is a common and very photogenic choice, and it distinguishes the groom without dressing him differently.
Matching the party
This is where made to order earns its keep. Stock ranges arrive in batches and dye lots drift, so two bow ties in the same colour bought weeks apart can be visibly different when the party stands together for photographs. We don’t hold stock. Your order is cut from one piece of fabric, so the match is exact.
Most designs are available as a bow tie, a tie and a pocket square in the same fabric, so you can vary the pieces without varying the colour.
Choosing by colour
Sage green, dusty blue and blush pink dominate spring and summer palettes; burgundy and deep green come into their own in autumn; navy and black work year round and suit a mixed party. If you’re matching to a specific shade rather than choosing from our designs, get in touch at hello@mrsbowtie.com.
Practicalities
Self-tie or pre-tied, both adjustable to fit a 14″ to 19″ neck, useful when you’re ordering for people whose collar sizes you don’t know. Pre-tied is the pragmatic choice for a large party. We dispatch orders big or small within just a couple of days despite handcrafting them just for you.
