I'm pretty sure all the "made in England" ties are by Drake's, probably my favorite tie maker. I'm not sure who makes the "made in France" ties, but Ben Silver always has top notch producers for all their products. (Crockett & Jones for shoes for example)

Kent Wang also offers the shepherd's check in navy (although it looks more like a brighter blue in the online picture). I gather this is less traditional, but I like it better than the black version for a little color.

I think as said the motivation was to be able to pick a colour that will flatter each body shape (she has a bridesmaid who is quite big) and to buy them a dress that can be re-used. I think it also has to do with the fact that the last 2 weddings we went to were the same!
Any way thanks for the input so far. Here's a picture of the colour scheme for the flowers. I haven't actually considered whether the girls will have a coloured sash so I'll find that out!

Originally posted by Shomas View PostI officiated a wedding at which all of the bridesmaids wore black dresses and it looked great. The motivation was, I think, that with certain parameters set forth by the bride (re. length, sleeves, etc.) the bridesmaids could pick out dresses that suited them specifically and that they would wear again. Let's be honest, women in flattering black dresses are a hell of a lot nicer to look at than women in typical bridesmaid getups. And as you point out, additional coordination can be achieved via flowers (on corsages and in the hair, most likely), accessories and the like.
Then again, I'm pretty happy to give a lot of wedding traditions the finger, so maybe my opinion isn't that helpful.

Out of the ones you picked I would certainly pick the more bold stripes. I think that at a weeding there are a lot of group pictures and things where thinner stripes or dots might not be lost.
IMHO though, your groomsmen are going to look quite dull (sharp, but dull). Why not match the ties to the color of the ladies' flowers? Another idea could be to get different ties within the same color scheme.

Originally posted by Fred G. Unn View PostI actually suddenly needed one last weekend. I had called Paul Winston but they were out of black, that's how I knew his pricing off the top of my head. I didn't have time to deal with shipping so I just went to Paul Stuart while I was in midtown and got this one:

A little pricey, but really nice and handmade in NYC.

That's funny Shomas, when I read "The bridesmaids are all dressed in black "
I was like DAMN! I want to go to that wedding!
