Custom bowties and cummerbund

Old gold and blue silk

I made custom bowties and a cummerbund for the groomsmen. Irene had her Mother of the bride dress and coat made by me. Then she commissioned accessories made in matching fabrics for her husband and various members of the bridal party

I made the bow-ties in different fabrics for each member of the bridal party. Irene’s husband had blue/gold silk to match her coat. Next there were two each in old-gold for the best men, two in the bridesmaids’ green silk for the ushers. Lastly I made the grooms custom bowtie in pale gold organza to match his bride.

Each bow-tie fastened with a hook on re-sizeable neck-band. I lined the custom cummerbund in silk and created a fastening at the back with a secure clip.

Having custom bowties and cummerbunds made to order for the bridal party is a lovely way to make everyone feel special. Choosing matching fabrics is popular, but a contrast can work too. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to dressing the groomsmen.

Irene’s dress and coat were very splendid, for more pictures click here

If you would like to talk to me about adding custom bowties and or a cummerbund to your order from me just get in touch. I can also make them as a stand alone commission using fabrics you bring me from elsewhere. If sourcing fabrics is tricky I have sample books at my studio where you can choose from hundreds of colours of silk. I use Bennett silks for a lot of my silk orders.
