I cannot believe I didn’t know about these ties from Cyberoptix before. They are SO awesome!
Swinging from the chandelier!
My personal favorite. This would have been even more perfect if we were getting married at an art gallery.
A nice tie for a vineyard / farm wedding.
A big thanks to my friend Carolyn for the ideas above and below! Here are some boutonnieres that I like:
This would fit in well with our color scheme (pewter and my off-white dress). The boutonnier was created by the Etsy shop of lfinkels. They are $19.
This is classic vintage with a Monique Lhuillier feel. We could take off the leaf, since it’s a summer/spring, not fall, wedding. From the Etsy shop of amanda1986 - Design Whimsy. $14.
Martha has lots of great ideas too!
What kind of boutonniere is your groom wearing? Are you sticking with the traditional flowers, or are you making it into a DIY project?
The first bout is my fave! And what does the second tie say? 
Love the ties! I do like the second one even though I’m not sure what is says! We’re going the traditional flower route for the bout!
Our guys didn’t wair bouts. We got them all fancy pocket squares instead. We figured that way they might be able to get more use out of them.
We are doing traditional bouts. I actually just finished them up myself!
the second tie says “this is not a tie” (in french)
I love love the art them tie… I would totally wear it myself it’s so cool!!
Haha…very cute artsy reference. I really like the first bout.
Those ties are really awesome. i like the swinging from the chandelier.
Is the guy in the first tie swinging from the chandelier by his neck?
@DollyLava:
Hahah! I know! I think it looks like that too. When I showed it to Mr. Chick he asked if the guy was trying to commit suicide. Not a very good sign. Too bad, because I do love the idea of it!
I love the second bout, all understated, vintagey, and, like you said, very ML.
I love those ties - some of them are a little dark though.
There were similar comments in Miss Apple Cider’s post:

The designer confirmed that the man hanging was swinging, but as in a celebration, not a morbid way. But, to many guests it might be hard to make the distinction.
Bethany is very talented, I love the ties!
@Miss Bruschetta: “ceci n’est pas une cravate” - “this is not a tie”
cheeky 
I can’t decide on his flowers because he’s allergic to flowers and being that close to his face he’ll be crying like a baby. Well maybe he’ll do that on his own. LOL
we decided to stick with traditional flower bouts, but i’m so in love with ones on etsy.
I love those ties, I’m hoping to make something like the etsy bouts for myself.
@Miss Bear Cub: Thanks for clarifying! I was like uh, it’s cute, but how many people would ask you what that meant all night!

Mrs. Chick, Houston Age and Occupation: 28, Rights and Reproduction Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Computer Programmer Engagement Date: November 15, 2008 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: A farm outside of Houston About Me: Mr. Chick and I met almost ten years ago at Baker Blues, a college jazz party. He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!
