7 Tips on How to Choose the Perfect Tie and Pocket Square for the Wedding Day

The right tie and pocket square can elevate your wedding day attire, adding sophistication and charm to your look. 

However, choosing these accessories requires attention to detail to ensure they complement your outfit without overpowering it. 

Explore our wedding accessories collection to discover timeless options for your big day.

1. Match the Tie to Your Suit’s Formality

Your tie should align with the level of formality of your suit and the wedding dress code. 

For black-tie events, a classic silk bow tie in black or deep tones is a must. For less formal occasions, opt for neckties in subtle patterns or solid colors.

The right tie not only complements your attire but also ensures you look polished and wedding-ready.

2. Coordinate Colors Without Over-Matching

Your tie and pocket square should coordinate with your suit and shirt but not match exactly. 

A tie in a shade that complements the suit and shirt can create a balanced look. Pair it with a pocket square that incorporates a subtle hint of the tie’s color.

Explore how to coordinate suit accessories for a cohesive and sophisticated appearance. 

For added inspiration, consider the wedding’s theme and color palette when making your selection.

3. Choose Patterns That Enhance, Not Distract

Patterns can add personality, but they should not overwhelm your outfit. 

If your suit and shirt are solid, a patterned tie or pocket square can add interest. 

Conversely, if your outfit already includes patterns, stick to solid accessories to maintain balance.

Browse our tie and pocket square collection to find styles that strike the perfect harmony between elegance and personality.

4. Opt for High-Quality Fabrics

The material of your tie and pocket square matters. 

Silk ties offer a luxurious finish perfect for formal weddings, while linen or cotton options work well for more casual settings. 

Pocket squares in fine fabrics like silk or wool provide a polished touch. Discover our premium designer accessories that elevate your wedding attire. 

High-quality fabrics not only look great but also feel comfortable throughout the day.

5. Keep Proportion in Mind

The size of your tie and pocket square should match your suit’s proportions. 

A wider tie complements broader lapels, while a slimmer tie works best with narrow lapels. 

Similarly, a pocket square should be folded neatly without appearing bulky in your pocket.

Attention to these details ensures a refined and cohesive look.

6. Personalize Your Look

Your tie and pocket square are opportunities to showcase your personality. 

Choose colors, patterns, or designs that reflect your style while remaining appropriate for the wedding’s formality. 

Personalization adds charm and confidence to your ensemble.
