A Subtle Floral Touch: Why Grooms and Guests Are Choosing This Tone-On-Tone Tie

Floral ties don’t have to be bold or flashy. In fact, TieMart's Member Floral Silk/Viscose Tie collection proves that subtlety can be even more stylish. Each tie features a soft, woven floral pattern in a tone-on-tone design, giving just enough texture and detail to add interest without overwhelming your look. These ties are especially popular for weddings where color palettes are cohesive and photo-friendly.

Steel blue is the undeniable standout in this collection. It’s become a go-to for wedding parties looking for something classic yet modern. This cool-toned blue complements trending wedding colors like dusty blue and serene, making it a versatile choice for mixing and matching.

The steel blue floral tie is available in:

• Standard
• Slim
• Narrow
• Extra Long
• Boys’ Bow Tie
• Adult Bow Tie (self-tie or pre-tied)
• Matching Pocket Square

Grooms often opt for the standard width, while groomsmen coordinate in slim or narrow widths. Ring bearers and junior attendants can wear the boys’ bow tie version, and matching pocket squares pull it all together. It's also catching the eyes of wedding guests who want something a little extra-special that still respects the dress code. (More on that in a bit.)

Love the member floral tie but not sure steel blue is the right fit? This customer-favorite style comes in multiple wedding-ready shades. Explore the full collection to find the color that perfectly complements your big day.

These floral ties are an easy match for bridesmaid dresses. The tone-on-tone patterns include lighter and darker shades of the main color, helping the tie coordinate with a wide range of dress shades in the same family (like dusty blue) without needing an exact match. So instead of hunting for a solid tie in a perfect color, these ties offer more flexibility while still looking cohesive in photos.

Mixing ties is a smart way to create a custom yet cohesive look for your wedding party. The floral tie pairs beautifully with solid ties in coordinating shades, like dusty blue ties or serene ties for the steel blue variation.

To distinguish the groom, have him wear the floral tie while the groomsmen wear solid versions in the same color family. It’s a subtle difference, but one that stands out in photos and gives the groom a signature look without going over the top.

Wedding guests, this part’s for you. If you want to show a little personality without outshining the wedding party, a tone-on-tone floral tie is a smart pick. Choices like burgundy and gray are easy to match with a suit you already own and offer just enough texture to make your outfit feel intentional. Choose the version that best fits the wedding style you’re attending. (Check the invitation or the couple’s wedding website for dress code clues.) Remember, you don’t want to match the wedding colors exactly. So if the invite is covered in dusty blue florals, opt for a different tie color to avoid blending in with the wedding party.

These aren’t the light and flowy silk ties you might be picturing. The member floral ties are made from a heavier-weight silk/viscose blend that holds its shape and knot throughout the day. They’re not shiny, but they do have a slight sheen that gives the floral pattern movement depending on how the light hits, making them easier to coordinate with bridesmaid dresses and giving them a polished, photo-ready finish.

Whether you’re standing at the altar or dancing the night away, this fabric photographs well, feels luxurious, and is comfortable from ceremony to reception.

A closer look at our steel blue member floral tie—crafted from a weightier silk blend that holds its shape, catches the light just enough, and pairs beautifully with a range of bridesmaid dress shades.

• Tie Width Matters: Choose slim or narrow widths for a modern look, or stick with standard for a timeless, traditional feel.
• Pair With Solids or Patterns: This pattern obviously pairs with a solid suit. However, since it’s subtle, it can also complement lightly textured or patterned suits. Think tweed, herringbone, or plaid.
• Pocket Squares Count: Even if you go with a different tie style, a floral pocket square in the same color family ties your look together.

Subtle floral ties may not shout for attention, but they quietly say, "I'm here for something special." And that’s exactly the kind of energy every wedding day deserves.

TieMart offers affordable wedding accessories for men in a wide range of solid colors and stylish patterns. From ties and pocket squares to socks and more, you’ll find coordinating pieces for everyone in the wedding party—including the groom, groomsmen, ring bearer, and father of the bride.
