I need to find a great tie for my wedding... and I need help

[sobotkg]

I have been a reader of styleforum for a pretty long time (but never posted). I usually have a fairly good idea of what I like right away. I have had a pretty easy time picking my clothes (shoes, suit, shirt). But I am absolutely STUCK when it comes to picking my tie (and by association pocket square).

I am getting married in two weeks ( the ceremony is around 4pm). I am a little nervous to describe what I am wearing because I know I am making at least one "mistake" I will be called out on. I was happy to use the event to finally buy Allen Edmonds Park Avenue (black) Shoes, a Calvin Klein Charcoal suit (peak lapel, slim fit), and a Banana Republic spread collar shirt (white). I have gone to a good tailor and made sure the suit fits the way it should and looks great.

(link to similar suit -- mine is charcoal and has NO STRIPES)

Now for the tie. I have bought two (one woven dark gray, the other is a 2" dark charcoal - really close to black). However neither look very good to me. Does anybody have any ideas for a great tie? As long as it is near or less than $100 I am game. Preferably dark. I am not leaving it up to you guys to decide, as I am still looking, but it would be a great help.

Congratulations!!!
You can try this tie http://www.everbuying.com/product317172.html

The above ties are atrocious. What you want is a traditional wedding tie, like one of the two below:

It should be accompanied with a plain white linen pocket square, which is also available from Kent Wang.

That is quite possibly the ugliest tie I have ever seen.

OP: you can find more in the Wedding Thread: http://www.styleforum.net/t/329568/official-wedding-attire-question-answer-picture-thread/0_100

FWIW, the Kent Wang suggestions are good ones.

What a dreadful looking tie, avoid.

What is strange is three first posts lead this thread....

+1 to the Kent Wang Suggestions. I'd include Macclesfields and shepherds check to the mix as well:

Strange indeed.

OP, in the event that you aren't a shill, you're getting some good advice (after the initial 2 polyester suggestions). Sam Hober is another common suggestion around here for good reason.

Actually the first is "imitation silk"

noooo I am not a shill. Thanks for the idea's! Looking at them right now. I will post my decision when I order it / them.

I cant seem to find many pictures of the kent wang ties with a charcoal suit, it is hard for me to imagine how they would look together. I do like the Grenadine black, but not for the wedding.

Why so? When buying any clothing some imagination is likely to be necessary. Have you never looked about you in the street to see what others are wearing to gain some ideas if you find it so hard?
