When it comes to weddings, personal touches make all the difference. From the flowers to the bridal party's dresses to the decor, every detail should reflect your unique love story.  While off-the-shelf ties may work for some, your wedding deserves more than "good enough."

At Knotty Tie Co, we make this easy for you with our customizable neckties. Whether you're looking to match your ties to the bridesmaid dresses, coordinate with the groom's attire, or align with the overall wedding theme, customized neckties are a personalized finishing touch.   Discover how to make the most of our customizer tool and get our best tips for designing wedding ties that will be cherished and adored.

5 Easy Steps to Customizing Your Wedding Ties

1. Plan Ahead

Give yourself some time to enjoy the process! Although we pride ourselves on fast turnarounds, it's always wise to get started at least 4-6 weeks (or more) before your wedding to allow some time for color matching and to avoid having to pay for an expedited turnaround.

Ultimately, to match or not to match really just depends on your vision for your wedding party. But if you decide you want your groomsmen to match your bridesmaids dresses, use our color matching dos and don’ts below to make sure they look great!

After all, you don’t want to twitch every time you look at your wedding photos because the colors are off.

2. Determine Your Colors

Color plays a major role in tying your wedding aesthetic together (pun intended). You'll want to order our ColorMatch Chart to find the perfect palette of colors to complement your bridal party’s attire, florals, or suiting.  We also offer matches to popular bridal dress brands like Azazie. 

PRO TIP: Create a color palette of at least 6 colors which includes the main color or background color as well as accent colors and neutral tones to compliment.  Our patterns all contain 2-6 colors so you'll be able to customize any pattern that grabs your eye! 

3. Select Your Pattern

Pick from hundreds of tie patterns on our site or customize a solid colored necktie. Whether you’re drawn to floral motifs, classic plaids, or playful patterns inspired by your favorite hobbies, our customizable tie patterns allow you to design a tie (or a set of ties) that reflects your wedding vision. You can even add initials for extra personalization with our monogram options. 

4. Recolor Your Pattern

To recolor, just click the "customize colors" button and you'll enter the customizer tool. Click one of the current colors from the pattern up above that you want to replace, and then find a color from the color library below to replace it with by simply clicking on the new color.

Filter colors by dress designer or color family and even search for a specific color name from the ColorMatch Chart. Once you have all of your new colors applied, you can change up their positions by dragging them left to right or click "shuffle" until you love what you see.

5. Choose Your Size

Select from 3 different widths and 4 different lengths to get the size of your wedding ties just right for each wearer.  Want a wider tie for Dad? Need longer ties for tall members of the wedding party? We make it easy to find the perfect size so everyone looks and feels their best. 

widths

Create Neckties They’ll Never Forget

Your wedding day is an opportunity to celebrate the people and relationships that have shaped your life, and your groomsmen are no exception. They’ve been there for some of life’s most memorable moments, so why not honor their individuality on your big day? Customized neckties are the perfect way to spotlight each groomsman's unique personality, hobbies, or even those inside jokes that bring a smile to your face. 

The possibilities for customization are endless but here are some examples of customizable patterns we offer that are sure to make every groomsman feel appreciated in a truly unforgettable way. 

Shared Experiences

Patterns inspired by your favorite memories "with friends". From fishing trips to concert nights, and even cross country trips.

Space Enthusiasts

Galactic designs featuring stars, constellations, or even planets are perfect for the groomsman with their head in the cosmos.

College States

Honor the place where it all began by customizing ties with the state the groom and groomsman went to school, met, or made unforgettable memories together.

Outdoor Adventurers

Highlight hobbies like skiing, hiking, biking, or fishing with a pattern inspired by their favorite pastime.

Dog Lovers

For the groomsman who never stops talking about his Golden Retriever or German Shepherd, a tie with their favorite breed is a guaranteed hit. 

Monograms

Add a touch of class with initials or a custom monogram discreetly placed on the tie’s tip or tail. It’s subtle but uniquely theirs.

Customized Tie Sets That Tell A Story

Personalized patterns for close friends.

One couple was inspired by our "With Friends" collection and took a highly personalized approach. They used the same color palette across all the groomsmen's ties but featured unique patterns that reflected activities the groom enjoyed doing with each friend. From camping to gaming, and beach going to partying, each tie told a story of shared memories. This thoughtful customization not only added a unique touch to their wedding attire but also celebrated the groom's cherished relationships in a truly meaningful way.

A monogramed memento.

For a subtle yet thoughtful customization, one couple opted for solid-colored ties to complement their mix-and-match floral bridesmaids’ dresses. To make the ties extra special, they added a unique monogram featuring each groomsman’s initials on the tip of each tie. This personalized detail, a small yet meaningful touch, remained hidden throughout the ceremony, tucked discreetly behind the buttoned suit jackets of the groomsmen. It wasn’t until later, during the reception, that the customized monograms were revealed, adding a special sentiment to their attire.

A tale of friendship in patterns.

Another couple created a cohesive yet personalized look by keeping all ties within the same color palette but rotating them for each groomsmen so each guy had a different color background. Each tie featured a pattern that held special significance for their friendship with the groom.  A basketball design represented his former college teammate, skiing icons honored a childhood friend he grew up taking ski trips with, fishing lures symbolized his fishing companion, and a state outline paid tribute to the alma mater where they first met.
