Alfred Angelo Marine Blue - Mtaching ties?

ndretzke

so we did suits instead of tuxs and cannot find any tie that comes close to matching the Alfred Angelo bridesmaid dress in Marine Blue.  We have gone to every store, bought many ties online only to return them, and are completly lost on how to solve this issue.  Anyone else have any ideas on how to match this color?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Why not just pick something that coordinates? No need for them to match perfectly.

Blues are very difficult to match precisely.  Just get them ties in one of your other colors.

Thanks for your responses.  Our other color is Orange, but with the flowers we have wouldn't match that well.  Push come to shove we will probably just have black ties (how exciting).

Any other advice?

For my SIL's wedding she had her husbands tailor make ties for each of the guys to match our BM dresses. I don't know how expensive that would be, but just an idea (a local seamstress may be able to do the same if you bring in fabric in the color you want)

Just go with a shade that coordinates.  It will look fine even if it's not the exact same shade.

Is Alfred Angelo's Marine Blue the same/or close to David's Bridal Marine Blue? If so, check out Men's Warehouse because they have matching colors.

I am also using AA's Marine Blue! It's a spectacular color! I am having the boys get a paisley tie in a close blue. The paisley will be distracting, hopefully! I had a HUGE problem finding overlays and other decor. It's not royal, navy, turquiose, teal, blue green or any other shade of blue... All I can say is it's a good one though!
(Found "blue 27 costume satin: at walmart for $2 a yard to use for overlays)

Besides ties, what else did you need help with, or what have you found? My other colors are chocolate and a faint yellow/champagne. Thanks in advance.

I am having Alfred Angelos BM dresses in Celadon; I asked the sales lady in the bridal shop about matching ties/ cravats and she said that they can be made in the matching fabric/ colour. It might be worth asking the sales person in the store where you got your dresses, they may be able to do something for you.

I am going to order ours on Saturday so will let you know how it goes, cost (I will convert to US $) etc.
