How to Match Wedding Ties to Bridesmaid Dresses

Why Colour Matching Matters

 

A wedding’s beauty lies in the details, and colour coordination is one of the simplest ways to elevate your big day. Matching wedding ties to bridesmaid dresses ensures a cohesive, polished look across photos, stationery, and décor. When colours complement each other, the entire wedding party appears harmonious, rather than chaotic, creating a visual story that feels intentional and elegant.

Colour matching also shows your guests that thought has been put into every detail, from the bouquets to the décor, making your wedding feel curated and memorable.

How to Choose Complementary Shades

When selecting the perfect tie, consider both the dress colour and the wedding palette. Here are a few tips:

  1. Use a Colour Wheel: Complementary shades sit opposite each other, while analogous colours sit next to each other. Both approaches can work beautifully depending on your theme.
  2. Consider Neutrals: Ties in grey, ivory, or champagne can complement almost any dress colour, offering a subtle, elegant balance.
  3. Mix Textures: A silk tie with a matte bridesmaid dress can create depth, while patterned ties can subtly reference the dresses’ tones without being overwhelming.
  4. Account for Season & Venue: Pastels shine in spring gardens, jewel tones pop in fall or winter weddings, and muted shades work beautifully for beach or outdoor settings.

Mint

Soft, airy, and elegant, mint is a spring favourite. Pair mint bridesmaid dresses with neutral or matching mint ties to create a fresh and cohesive look.

Blush

Blush is timeless and romantic. A blush palette allows for flexibility - consider neutral, rose, or light grey ties for groomsmen. The result is soft, dreamy, and incredibly photogenic.
