landlocked bride™ | midwest + mountain west wedding inspiration

I may live in the Midwest, but I seriously channel my inner Southern girl when it comes to menswear at weddings. I’m so over the matchy-matchy vests and ties (and you should be as well). And, while I love a good colorful tie (I should, our groomsmen will be sporting them), I’m a big ‘ol sucker for a man in a bow tie. Well, really, I’m just a sucker for a bow tie. Period.

And, how could you not be?

So, do you prefer a plain tie, a quirky bow tie, or the traditional matchy vest/tie combo?

I had to share this bright and bold color palette from Grey Likes Weddings.

The use of the jewel tones is a great idea for spring and summer – especially since those seasons are typically saturated with bright pinks, greens and yellows.
