Formalwear Ideas - Matching Ties and Boutonnieres

Admittedly, I don't have much interest in guys' style. In fact, I told my groom that he could wear whatever tux he wanted -- as long as it wasn't powder blue with ruffles a la '70s prom photos. But when I came across this tie (from Heimie's Haberdashery in St. Paul, MN) and boutonniere (made by Nicole Ha Designs in San Jose, CA) combo from Jennifer and Eric's wedding in Saratoga, CA, my interest was piqued. The tie's pattern mimicked the spiral of the fiddlehead fern and was a way more interesting way to work in their signature color than a solid red tie.
