Accessories are one of the easiest and best ways for guys to add a little bit of personality to their wedding attire from bow ties and pocket squares to socks and cuff links. While the bow tie isn’t for everyone, more and more grooms have been trading the more traditional tie in for a dapper bow tie for the occasion. For guys that wear a tie day in day out, a bow tie can be a fun alternative and a great way to dress up the wedding suit. And they come in a huge range of colours, prints and fabrics so you’ll easily find one to match your wedding colours or with an interesting pattern if you’re looking to go all out.
As it’s almost autumn, you’ll notice plenty of rich autumnal colours like burgundy and rusts in stores and fabrics like velvet, wool and tweeds to add some warmth and texture for the chillier months. But if it’s a simple, plain coloured bow tie you’re after, Suits You Menswear & Suit Hire have a great range of plain bow ties – check them out here. Or for more fun and interesting styles to brighten up your suit, head over to Saville Menswear, Aston Formal Wear, Beau Bows or Fox & Brie on Etsy where you can view a selection of fun and patterned bow ties. To give you an idea of what’s out there at the mo, we’ve rounded up a selection of bow ties available on the high street and in menswear stores for Autumn/Winter grooms looking for that finishing touch for their suit…
