What material should a wedding tie be made of?
We already know what color tie to choose for a navy blue suit. Now let's consider what material should be used for a wedding tie.The ties shown above are sewn from silk and cotton.
Mogador silk makes the tie marginally more matte and has an interesting texture. And this, in turn, makes it possible to have a tie for the wedding different from the rest of the guests - you will stand out.However, in our opinion, the ideal choice for a wedding is a grenadine tie.
Why a grenadine tie?
Grenadine is a rare material, so we are betting with high confidence that no one or almost no one will have such a tie at your wedding. Grenadine is distinguished by its coarse fibers and semi-matte surface, so that the tie does not shine too much. Light breaks on the tie and falls into its structure.
Idea #4 - burgundy grenadine dot tie
We highly recommend you choose grenadine dots. Why? The answer is simple - white dots will be a great breakthrough and will correspond perfectly with a white shirt. See how attractive it looks:

Trendy styles and colors this year
Some men may prefer to choose a style that is on trend for the year. However, we believe that classics will always defend themselves, is more versatile and therefore multi-tasking. It is a more reasonable choice for a wedding, unless your closet is bursting at the seams with tailored suits in classic colors.

So let's look at the so-called color wheel, which is an ordered color palette that will make it easier to create a cohesive composition.
How to combine colors on the basis of the color wheel?
Opposite colors, that is, lying opposite each other on the color wheel, match each other perfectly. The color wheel is a great help when composing your styling. Proven methods of combining colors are:
- contrasting colors - juxtaposition of opposing colors, e.g., red and green,
- adjacent colors - a combination of colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, for example, navy blue and purple,
- monochromatic - combining the same color in different shades,
- split complementary - the combination of colors that form the letter T on the color wheel, for example, purple + turquoise + orange,
- double complementary - a combination of 4 colors (opposite pairs of colors),color triads - a set of 3 colors evenly spaced in relation to each other on the wheel, for example, every third color - purple, orange, yellow.
Black, white and gray can be successfully combined with any other color.
