We simply adore getting reader email, and this one from newly engaged reader Melissa that had us wondering how to make the decision between your groomsmen wearing bow ties or neck ties.
Melissa asked: My fiance and I are deciding whether to have our groomsmen wear bow ties or neck ties, I’d love to get your thoughts on this.
Wedding Paper Divas style & trend expert, Amber Harrison answers Melissa’s question below:
Personally, bow ties are a favorite but ultimately the decision has to match your collective style. Bow ties are great for very formal events or a playful affair that showcases your personalities throughout.
Here are a few questions that might help you make your decision:
- What is the wedding venue? Would bow ties look out of place there?
- Will your wedding be formal or a bit more casual or playful?
- What is the style of your groom and of those in the wedding party? Would they feel comfortable in a bow tie?
- Will bow ties help enhance the overall feel of your wedding or assist in the sharing of your personal love story?
- And of course, do you love bow ties so much that you just HAVE to have them no matter what?
Best of luck and congratulations!!
