Style Tips for a Traditional Wedding

A practical guide to choosing the right tie for a wedding day, conceived as if Maurizio Marinella himself were welcoming us into his shop for a consultation. A connoisseur of tradition, he illustrates the stylistic choices that define timeless elegance and demonstrates how fabric, color, and detail come together to creating a perfect harmony in wedding attire.

Daytime wedding

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

For a formal daytime city wedding, elegance begins with the right tie. The “grisaglia,” inspired by the French grisaille, stands out for its refined mix of gray tones and the subtle dialogue between black and white in the weave.

It pairs naturally with a dark gray or navy tailored suit and suits the groom, the fathers, and the best men alike. Its rich texture and slight sheen help the knot hold its shape throughout the day. A quiet expression of timeless style.

Evening Wedding

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

For an evening wedding where blue defines the mood, the Maison recommends a ceremonial jacquard silk tie known as “blue and white.” A deep blue base is refined by a small geometric polka dot woven in white silk.

The jacquard’s rich structure helps the knot stay precise and composed throughout the event. Worn with a dark blue tailored suit, it suits the groom, the fathers, and the best men alike. A simple, thoughtful choice that brings a perfect balance of simplicity and style.

Summer Wedding

The “Faux Solid” Tie: A Jacquard Silk Gem

Set against the light and color of the Mediterranean landscape, summer wedding settings allow for a broader, brighter palette. Maurizio Marinella introduces the “faux solid” tie, a jacquard silk design created to mark the occasion with quiet elegance.

Made from lightweight brushed silk in vivid shades of blue, it offers freshness with the structure needed to hold a perfect knot. The woven texture forms a subtle raised motif that catches the light without excess. A refined choice for the groom, fathers, and best men who want a touch of brightness with composure.
