Groomsmen Attire: Velvet Wedding Ties

Want your groomsmen to make a statement? Check out these velvet ties.

We know what you're thinking. You thought velvet was just for Christmas.

Traditionally, you're right. We see a lot more velvet worn during winter and the holiday season.

But what's traditional for weddings is changing. In the past, we only saw burgundy, hunter green and similar deep, dark shades worn for fall and winter weddings.

But right now, weddings are all about romance. That means those dark colors like burgundy are being mixed with soft, romantic shades like blush pink and dusty blue. And worn all year long.

And what's more romantic than luxurious, plush velvet?!

To pull off velvet for a spring or summer wedding, try pairing a burgundy, gray or navy blue velvet tie with your groomsmen's navy or gray suits. Lighten the look with accessories in your accent wedding colors. A blush pink pocket square, coral socks, a dusty blue lapel pin.
