What tie with a dark blue suit?!?

Janey4, 23 July, 2013 at 12:42 Posted on Planning 0 11

OH has bought a dark blue (almost navy) suit which he plans to wear with some really smart dark oxblood shoes, but the tie is a real issue!!

I wanted dark, slim and possibly black, which we bought and it looks ok, but I'm not sure if its not quite right and I cant put my finger on it....? (Dont know if I'm looking for issues where none exist, but i'm not quite happy!!)

We arent having a colour theme as such, lots of different pastel colours and I'm not a massive fan of light coloured ties, so what do I do?!

We have some candles which are gold and purple to go in our centrepieces -do I try purple?!

Help! x

    Hi.....my OH wore an electric blue suit and the ushers wore very dark navy, they actually had a purple floral tie. Bit different I know, but looked good with them Smiley smile

    My H wore a dark blue suit with a purple tie. Bridesmaids were in purple and gold.

    Personally I think black is not really a wedding tie, more funereal, but that's just me.

    How about something like this;

    I'm having tie issues too but that's because the OH is fussy!

    My OH has dark blue suit too, he plans to wear red tie and pocket hanky. We don't have red anywhere else in the theme, its what he wants so I've just gone with it. Ushers, etc are I in silver, looks really nice xx

    I'm being the fussy one!!

    I dont really like patterned either -I just like plain.....I do like the black but I just think its slightly close to the colour of the suit?!

    Arghhhhh!!!

    My OH is having this suit with a bright yellow tie, but I like really contrasting colours!:

    I don't like patterned ties either and am also having tie woes. Pink or black, pink or black hmmmmmm

    Anyway, i think a purple or a red shade would be nicest with the blue suit. Especially if his shoes are oxblood.

    I'd be tempted to go with a dark red, too.

    White would look rather cool and slick against the blue?

    I would say black would look good, so would purple or a light pink maybe. I love Skeptical's idea for her OH with the yellow tie as well though! I love yellow and navy blue together.
