What Bow Tie to Match with Lilac Shirt

[MaitreTea]

I'm going to a wedding in May, and I'm thinking about wearing this shirt with a dark grey suit:

I've been look at https://www.thetiebar.com/ for a bow tie, and I'm wondering what color. I was thinking about something yellow dotted bow tie that'd pop out, either https://www.thetiebar.com/product/B1847ST or https://www.thetiebar.com/product/BL188ST

Any thoughts? I'm also open to any possible colors that could go with the shirt. I'm also thinking about a pocket square...any advice on color/pattern?

Thanks!

Burgundy or navy might work

Navy and white dots like in the shirt photo. Or the first yellow with white dots. Use the PS to pull it together...

I like dark purple ties with lilac shirts. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...760e376805.jpg

Thanks! I really wanted to get a purple bow tie (I've got most of the other colors represented)! I guess I'll use a yellow pocket square to give it a little pop of color.

A purple bow tie could be great. The examples you linked in your initial post had dots, and if you like that The Tie Bar certainly has purple/eggplant/plum colored bow ties with dots. But regardless of whether you land on a solid, dotted, or other pattern, I would make sure the tie isn't shiny (keep it low sheen) and that it works to draw attention to your face. The latter would be a function of works with your skin and eye color of course - get something that harmonizes with and/or supports your eye color. Good luck with this and best wishes to the couple on a long and happy marriage!
