Floral ties are having a major moment in weddings—and we’re here for it. Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding, a formal garden affair, or something entirely your own, floral ties are the perfect way to bring personality, charm, and just a hint of whimsy into your wedding party’s attire. Not sure how to incorporate them into your big day? We’ve got you covered.
Why Floral Ties Work For Weddings
Floral ties strike that perfect balance between timeless and trendy. They soften the look of formalwear, add visual interest to suits, and offer an easy way to tie (pun intended) your wedding colors into the groomsmen’s outfits. And because florals come in so many variations—bold or subtle, vintage or modern, colorful or classic—they work across nearly every wedding theme and season.
Matching Floral Ties To Your Wedding Colors
Your wedding color palette is the perfect place to start when choosing floral ties. Look for prints that incorporate at least one of your key colors to create a cohesive look. Here are some easy matches from our collection:
-
Dusty Blue Weddings: Our most popular floral tie, the Steel Blue Member Floral, is a dream match for dusty blue weddings. Made from silk with rich texture and layered blue tones, it coordinates effortlessly with gowns, decor, and floral arrangements in dusty blue shades. It’s available in neckties, bow ties, and even options for ring bearers.
For a more laid-back or rustic wedding vibe, cotton floral ties in dusty blue are trending in a big way right now. We carry two standout cotton designs that fit this look beautifully. One features a classic dusty blue and white floral print, perfect for a clean, simple aesthetic. The other incorporates dusty blue alongside a mix of complementary colors—a bolder choice with more dimension and personality. Both ties have a matte finish and that soft, heavyweight feel cotton is known for, making them ideal for slightly more casual celebrations like barn, backyard, or outdoor weddings.
- Fall Tones: Think floral ties are only for warm weather? Guess again. Fall is the perfect season to bring in rich, earthy florals that feel timeless—not overly themed. We love this dusty mauve and tan cotton floral tie, set on an off-white background for a soft, rustic touch. For something dressier, our pewter silk floral tie with subtle orange anemones and teal hydrangeas offers depth and elegance. And of course, there’s our customer favorite: the Member Floral Tie in burgundy, a go-to pick for autumn weddings thanks to its classic pattern and warm, romantic tone. Pair any of these with navy or gray suits for a polished seasonal look.
-
Pink Floral Ties: If you’re planning a romantic or spring-inspired wedding, pink floral ties are a beautiful choice. Our bright Pink Member Floral Tie offers the same upscale silk texture and intricate pattern as our bestselling dusty blue version, but with a bold, cheerful twist. It’s perfect for outdoor weddings, vibrant color palettes, or couples who want to make a stylish statement.
Looking for something more delicate? Try our Fuchsia and White Alameda Floral Tie or Ivory and Pink Pomona print. Both cotton designs are subtle yet eye-catching, and especially popular for rustic or garden weddings. These patterns work well with navy suits and looks great in photos—especially when paired with matching pocket squares or boys' bow ties for the little ones in your wedding party.
-
Bold and Romantic: If your vibe leans bold and romantic, go for a Kingsburg Peony Tie. Its oversized floral design in fuchsias, purples and green makes a statement and looks incredible in photos. (We're featuring it in a real wedding pic below.)
Our Brentwood Floral Tie could’ve easily landed in our dusty blue section, but those vibrant pinks give it an entirely different energy. It's delicate in size but eye-catching in color. For something truly artistic, the Writer Floral Tie looks like it came straight from a canvas. This elegant design features silver, orchid, and soft touches of blue and white—perfect for couples planning a formal affair with a creative or whimsical edge. Whether you’re going bold in your color palette or just want your accessories to pop, these florals are made to stand out.
-
Black Florals: You don’t usually associate florals with black—but trust us, it works. A black background adds depth and contrast to floral prints, making these ties feel bold, modern, and just a little unexpected. We’re featuring three different black floral styles, each with its own unique vibe.
One of our most popular is the Black and Coral Arcata Floral Tie that almost feels beachy, with a tropical flair that’s perfect for destination weddings or warm-weather celebrations. The other two designs lean more wildflower-inspired, with bolder floral patterns that feel effortless and romantic—great for both groomsmen and guests.
(Psst… if you’re shopping for a wedding guest look, black floral ties are a stylish choice that stands out without upstaging the couple.)
Ways to Incorporate Floral Ties
Floral ties aren’t just for the groom. Here’s how to work them into your full wedding party:
- Groom and Groomsmen: Go all in with matching ties, or have the groom wear a bold floral while the groomsmen wear a coordinating solid or subtle floral.
Let the groom stand out—floral for him, coordinating solids for the crew.
- Ring Bearers: Our floral ties come in boys’ sizes too—perfect for mini members of your wedding crew.
- Bow Ties or Neckties: Choose based on your wedding vibe. Bow ties give off a vintage or preppy feel, while neckties are more traditional and versatile.
Want to make a statement? A floral bow tie is the perfect pick for the groom.
- Add Pocket Squares: A floral pocket square can tie the whole look together—especially if you want a subtle pop of pattern without committing to a full floral tie.
Cotton Vs. Silk: Choosing The Right Floral Tie Material
When it comes to floral wedding ties, the material can completely change the look and feel of your outfit. Most floral ties you'll come across are made from cotton. These ties are typically heavyweight with a matte finish, giving them a more casual, laid-back vibe. They’re a popular choice for rustic, boho, or outdoor weddings—anywhere the dress code leans a little more relaxed.
Matte and modern: Cotton floral ties add a laid-back, natural feel.
If your wedding is more formal or black tie optional, consider floral ties made from silk or polyester. These materials usually have a textured or slightly glossy finish, giving off a dressier, more refined look. Silk and polyester floral ties work beautifully for upscale venues, evening ceremonies, or anytime you want to add a touch of sophistication to your groomsmen’s look.
Get a closer look—silk floral ties bring a texture you won’t find in cotton.
Whether you go cotton or silk, just remember: The right floral tie can complement your wedding theme and help set the tone for your big day.
Final Styling Tips
- Pair floral ties with solid dress shirts to let the pattern shine.
- For patterned shirts, stick to tiny, subtle prints that won’t clash.
- Floral ties also make thoughtful gifts for your groomsmen—they’ll love something they can wear again.
