10 Stylish Shades of Classic Blue Neckties for Your Wedding
In this article the focus is on neckties – groomsmen ties in shades of blue to be exact! I think the classic blue color (in all its various shades) is my favorite go-to color choice for a formal occasion such as a wedding. Even before my husband started his own necktie company, he had a lot more blue neckties in the closest than any other color. I guess he and I have always been on the same necktie color wavelength. 🙂
On that note, below are the top 10 blue colored neckties that we see over and over again in real weddings on L&L. If you’re looking for a particular blue necktie for your wedding party, chances are it can be found within this list.
The color blue offers up a wide spectrum of shades from which to choose. Those who have selected the palette of the sky as their primary wedding color may feel overwhelmed with just how many blues there are in the world:
- Royal Blue
- Classic Blue
- Peacock Blue
- Sky Blue
- Powder Blue
The list goes on.
Which leads me on to a key takeaway: Don’t make the color decision more complicated than it has to be!
If you can’t find an exact match don’t panic. For example, neckties that are manufactured from a bolt of ‘royal blue’ cloth may look slightly different from the custom dyed ‘royal blue’ table cloth that you order. That is just how the dyeing and manufacturing process works.
Early in the wedding planning process you will likely be asked the question, “what are your wedding colors?” Chances are that question comes from after all the ‘so how did he propose’ questions die down.
It can be easy to get caught up in choosing the right hue. Although your color palette will help inform your choice of items like table clothes, flowers, bridesmaids dresses, and even the groomsmen neckties, use it as a guideline and not a rule.
Not every part of your wedding has to be a perfect match, nor should it be. And, you may end up needlessly adding stress in the process. Instead, think of your wedding planning in terms of formality, style, mood, texture, in addition to color. Stick to the basic hues and work within them.
