Tie Clips to Complement/contrast the Tie?

Mercedes, on February 21, 2020 at 4:13 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 6

Hello!

I am helping my FH and his GM with ties and tie bars (& much much more actually haha...). I don't have any experience with these things and they don't seem to either, or they just know I'm particular about how I want things to look together lol. The Groom and GMs' suits are Navy Blue. Their shirts are light blue. The GMs' ties and pocket squares will be "Sunset" a pinkish-orange/salmony color. (the groom & best man will have boutonnieres w/eucalyptus & some salmony colored flower & baby's breath probably). So QUESTION: Should we do Navy Blue tie clips or Gold tie clips? Thinking the Navy Blue clips could contrast nicely while going with the suits? And the gold wouldn't show up much against the Sunset colored ties....but is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    Oh this is a tough one, Mercedes! Personally, I would go with the gold. I wouldn’t want too much of a contrast between the clip and the ties. Are you able to see both options in person and make a decision?

    Thanks, I’m leaning slightly towards gold now...I think I’d rather be missing the contrast a bit than being annoyed by the contrast haha. We were going to order them online but we’re gonna go to a couple stores & see how it actually looks. One more thing to add to the to-do list...

    I would go with a metal look tie clip regardless of color. I think gold or silver will look better than a colored tie clip.

    Yea, I'm leaning towards gold now. Although silver is an idea too....Would match the rings and my earrings... But our metals throughout the wedding decor will be gold. Won't really matter. Thanks, we will be looking out for the gold.

    It's an effort, but seeing it in person may really help. Adding to the to-do list, but hopefully it will help tick a major thing off it Smiley smile
