All Tied-Up!

You voted. We listened. With 86% of the vote, tie it is for Mr. Cookie!
On Monday, I took the day off from work to run wedding errands. On my list to do was finding ties. I had a small budget for the purchase - between $10-$20 per tie. I went to Men’s Wearhouse, a local outlet mall, then finally Nordstrom Rack, where I hit the mother load!
Since Mr. Cookie is wearing a silver vest, he wanted a silver tie to match. Because he was at work, I found two options from which he can choose on the day. Each tie cost $12.95, not bad!
Finding five matching ties was near impossible with the given selection. I wanted blue ties, but could only find two of the same brand. So, I settled on these black ties for $12.95 each. You can’t tell from the picture, but they have a diagonal texture similar to one I bought Mr. Cookie.
After leaving the store, I realized that I had totally forgotten about the fathers’ ties. I am still debating whether I want to get them black ties, the blue ones I found, or just have them wear a tie they already own.
What ties do you think I should get the fathers?

ooh!! my fiance is looking for a silver tie as well…we hadn’t even thought of nordstrom rack! thanks for the tip!
what color are the suits the parents will be wearing?
If you are worried about coordinating with what they are wearing and what their wives are wearing, go with a silver and black PRINT. If you arent concerned about coordinating, get your blue on! Finding 2 shouldnt prove TOOO difficult.
I bought the ties for my groomsmen from royalsilkusa.com. They make good ties for a good price.
We don’t have a Nordstrom Rack here…boo!! I love the silver ties! Ooh, and I agree with mdarrah, go for the blue since you only need 2 as opposed to the 5…
I love thetiebar.com. It’s an amazing tie source.
YEAH for Nordstrom Rack! That’s where I found our gm ties too

About Me: With a degree in Theatre I never realized that planning a wedding was a lot like Theatre Management, until I started planning my own. I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.
Oooh I didn’t even THINK of Nordstrom Rack! Good call Cookie! I love the ones you chose!
