Black Bow Tie for Wedding

Velvet gives this black bow tie for weddings a soft, rich look in photos, and the same bow is offered in six more colors for groomsmen. It measures about 12 by 8.5 cm (4.7 by 3.3 in). See more styles in our bow ties.

Velvet Bow Size for This Bow Tie

The bow is slightly larger than average and made of polyester velvet. It fastens with an adjustable band, so it fits any collar without a knot.

Colors for a Wedding Party

Black is for the groom or a black-tie dress code; deep blue, navy, deep purple, wine red, red and green let groomsmen match the bridesmaids. Order the same color for the whole group for consistent photos.

Styling Velvet at a Ceremony

Velvet pairs best with matte suits in wool-blend, tweed or herringbone. Keep the pocket square in a lighter fabric so the textures do not compete.

Ordering for a Group

For a wedding party, order all bows at the same time so the velvet comes from one batch and the shades match. Keep a spare for the groom; velvet can mark if it gets wet during an outdoor ceremony, so a backup saves the photos.
