Here’s a quick checklist to help you make sure all the key players are covered:

• Groom
• Groomsmen and Ushers
• Ring Bearer
• Fathers of the Bride and Groom
• Grandfathers
• Close family members not in the wedding party

• Wedding officiant
• Photographer (for color matching)

You probably already know this one. But just in case, don't forget to buy a tie for your groom to wear on his wedding day. Whether he’s wearing a classic tuxedo, a stylish suit, or something more casual, the groom’s tie will tie the whole look together. Need some help picking the right tie?

A beautiful moment between the bride and groom, with the groom’s dusty blue floral tie adding a touch of color and personality to his wedding day look.

This one is the second most obvious. Your groomsmen and ushers will need ties for your wedding, too. These ties might match the groom’s tie exactly, or they could be slightly different, creating a coordinated yet unique look.

Pro tip for groomsmen ties: Don’t leave it up to the groomsmen to buy their own ties! We’ve seen too many weddings go wrong when a groomsman forgot to purchase his wedding tie or chose the wrong style. To avoid any mishaps, make sure you purchase all the ties at once.

The ring bearer plays a big role in your wedding, so don’t overlook his tie. When buying your groomsmen’s ties, add a matching boys' bow tie or clip-on tie for the ring bearer to complete his look. These ties are typically smaller versions of the groom's or groomsmen’s ties, ensuring he matches the rest of the wedding party perfectly.

Mini style, big impact! This ring bearer looks just as sharp as the groomsmen, matching their outfits perfectly for the big day.

Though not a must, many couples opt to buy ties for the fathers of the bride and groom. These ties can match or coordinate with the other ties you’ve already chosen, ensuring everyone looks cohesive.

A proud moment and a perfect match—many couples choose coordinating ties for the fathers to create a cohesive look for the big day.

If you’re lucky enough to have a grandfather at your wedding, you might want to provide him with a tie, too. Consider doing the same for your grandfathers as you did for your fathers, ensuring they feel included and stylish on your big day. If they prefer something more understated, a neutral tie that complements the wedding palette works well.

Maybe you have a brother or close cousin who didn’t make the cut as a groomsman, or an uncle who feels like a second dad. If you have a close family member who isn’t part of your official wedding party but you still want them to feel included, buy them a tie. As with the dads and grandfathers, choose a tie that aligns with the overall wedding theme or color scheme.

Whether your dog is serving as the ring bearer or the dog of honor, a band collar bow tie is the perfect accessory to make sure your pup looks sharp. If your dog is medium to large-sized, a men’s bow tie will work perfectly. For smaller dogs, consider a boys' bow tie. Here are some more tips for including your dog on your wedding day.

Dressed to impress! This pup proves that even the smallest wedding party members can match.

Your wedding officiant will be at the front and center of your ceremony, so it’s important to make sure their tie coordinates with your wedding’s theme or colors. If your officiant will be wearing a tie, consider purchasing one that complements the wedding colors or a neutral tie that blends seamlessly with the rest of the wedding party’s attire.

This one isn’t for your wedding day, but it’s essential for capturing the best photos possible. Wedding colors often shift slightly on camera, so give your photographer a tie in your wedding colors to use as a color reference for when it’s time to edit the photos. It’s also perfect for styled shots with your invitation, rings, and other wedding details—helping ensure your photos reflect the true look of your big day.

Photographers love a tie in the wedding colors for detail shots—plus it helps them edit your photos to match the real-life look of your big day.
