The Bow Tie Arrives

Finding bow ties in the perfect shade of yellow to match the bridesmaids dresses was not an easy feat. I spent hours online browsing before I conceeded that my old friend Etsy might be the best option. I stalked a number of shops before deciding on Tux & Tulle, which offered a vast array of yellow prints. The shop owner, Jane, was incredibly helpful. When I sent her several prints I was interested in, I also forwarded a picture of one of the dresses. Since she was so familiar with the fabric, she was able to steer me towards the best options.

I ordered just one to start to ensure that the color was close enough to the dresses. Recently the tie came in and I am super-pleased! So without further ado...

Here is Mr. H sporting the bow tie (with his running shirt no less, sigh...)

And here is the bow tie next to one of the dresses:

What do y'all think? I'm pretty darn pleased with the match. It may not be exact, but I think it's about as close as we're going to get. (And the print couldn't be more perfect.)

Anyone else struggle with matching the bridesmaid and groomsmen?
