Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

Is the "wedding tie" still a thing? And if so, is the tradition more for the groom or for guests as well?

I used to have a Prince of Wales style tie but I am wondering if I should get a new one for an upcoming formal (not black tie) wedding or if something from my wardrobe will be fine.

I've never seen anyone in real life wear a "wedding tie" at a wedding (except for me, usually the only menswear-pilled person in attendance), so I'd say anything classic and formal is fine. For reference, I've probably gone to about 10-12 weddings in the past 5 years in the Northeast/NYC area.

I have a wedding tie because I'm a sucker for things being "by the book". I also have a tie for funerals, for alma mater events... so. I mean I see people in sneakers at weddings now that still say cocktail/semi-formal attire so no one gives a hoot anymore. If you like it, wear it. If you're on a forum like this, you'd be well suited (no pun intended) to get a wedding tie.

At my nephew's very recent wedding, the groom and various ushers, etc. wore "wedding" ties.
other guests more generic ties but why not go for it?

Thank you for all of the responses about wedding ties. I ordered this POW today. I’m guessing it’ll be a nice addition to my wedding guest get-up.

Look up the following weddings for great examples of morning dress at weddings:

1. Julian Amery and Catherine Macmillan
2. Ian Richardson and Maroussia Frank
3. Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower
4. Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox

I also love wearing wedding ties. When I was getting married back in 2016 I got "wedding" pattern ties for me, my groomsmen, and my father/future FIL. Some great places to shop for them. I ended up using
