Daytime wedding

The “Grisaglia” Tie
By definition, the tie for a classic wedding

For a formal city daytime wedding, adhering to the rules of elegance, we recommend wearing the tie known as “grisaglia.” This distinctive accessory, renowned for its classic beauty, has its roots in the French term "grisaille," evoking the richness of gray tones and the delicate interplay of black and white in its fabric. It pairs perfectly with a dark gray or navy blue tailored suit, exemplifying timeless elegance. Whether worn by the groom, the fathers of the couple, or the best men, its substantial texture and shimmering effect provide support to the knot, ensuring perfection throughout the day. A synonym for timeless style.

Evening Wedding

The “Blue and White” Tie
Named by the Maison for its blue background and white pattern

Immersed in the ambiance of a classic residence, for an evening wedding where blue takes center stage, the ideal choice is the ceremonial jacquard silk tie identified by the Maison as "blue and white." This tie, with a deep blue base, is adorned with a delightful geometric polka dot pattern made from white silk thread. The substantial texture of the jacquard silk provides impeccable support to the knot, ensuring timeless elegance for the duration of the event. In this evening wedding setting, where E. Marinella's style stands out for its simplicity and attention to detail, the blue and white tie pairs perfectly with a tailored dark blue suit. The jacquard fabric's embroidery adds a touch of sophistication, ideal for the groom, the fathers of the couple, and the best men celebrating together on this beautiful day with a perfect balance of simplicity and style.

Summer Wedding
