Guess what?! We found bow ties. Not just any bow ties but the bow ties we want grooms and groomsmen in Arizona to start wearing. And we want them to start wearing them now. Do we sound a bit bossy? Most definitely. But trust us, these ties are a game changer for guys and their wedding style.
We proudly introduce Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont to you, the men and women in Arizona who want grooms and their guys to look really good on their wedding day and in the pictures that last a lifetime.

We chatted with co-owner David Mutter to get his insights regarding men’s attire and a little more about the company:
Not only do you have a large selection of fabrics for ties but you also make each tie by hand. How did you decide that this was a principle that the company must uphold and how/why is it important to grooms?
Quality neckwear must be handmade. Period. Unlike other garments, ties are literally pulled and twisted into knots. Machine cut and processed accessories quickly look tired and worn. A handmade tie – such as those manufactured by Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont – is designed and crafted to retain a crisp elegant look. As a result, many of our clients wear us for the first time on their wedding day. They decide – or it is pointed out – that they should invest in a premier bow or long-tie to celebrate the occasion. When they discover our ties are typically only $40, they frequently become customers for life.
What trends do you see emerging for modern grooms regarding style of tie, colors, and fabrics?
Flight to quality. As men become more engaged in fashion, they demand higher quality. Repeatedly, our customers tell us they’re “sick of disposable” ties. Customers are sticking to the mantra ‘buy it right and keep it for life. Collaborative service. We cater to a select clientele and they expect quick, knowledgeable support. That’s why our customer service team is staffed by trained professionals at our facility in Middlebury, Vermont. Today’s customer has a range of options. Unfortunately, most companies fail to provide adequate service. For us, picking out the right tie is enjoyable. For example, weddings are a big part of our business. Why? We provide free swatches so the bride and groom can see and feel the fabric. The service is time consuming, but the result is so satisfying. It’s the only way we operate.”
Splash of color. Each year we issue over 300 different tie patterns – nearly one per day. We see – first hand – how customers are willing to embrace color and take risks. Even among our more traditional choices, men prefer a fresh contemporary interpretation.
If a groom wants a tie that is completely exclusive to his wedding (so no other wedding could ever have the same tie), are you able to accommodate him?
Absolutely. Each day, we are proud to compile unique wedding packages. Whether it’s a limited edition tie or monogramming the date into the garment, we are experts at personalizing ties so they are as special and unique as the occasion. This is why grooms turn to us to create truly memorable groomsmen gifts.
How much does the style and formality of a suit or tuxedo influence the type of tie a groom should choose?
A great deal. When a bride or a groom calls us, we ask a series of questions. When time of year is the event? What time of day will it take place? Is the ceremony inside or outside? What is the tone (i.e. formal or casual)? What is the color palette? The answer to these questions help shape the recommendations we make. With hundreds of fabrics to choose from, we have a range of options other manufacturers simply can’t match.
Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont also has quite a selection of fun and funky ties- perfect for the scientist, teacher, etc.
In addition to having a HUGE selection of patterns and styles, Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont has a VIP Swatch Service for grooms. Here’s how it works: A groom calls Beau Ties to inquire about purchasing ties for his big day. Rather than just selling him a tie on the spot, Beau Ties will create a free set of six different swatches – showcasing a wide variety that would be suitable to his needs. Additionally, ties can be exclusively personalized to his liking – a monogram, the date of the wedding, or even a special message.
They will even make a custom fabric for you (at a crazy reasonable rate) so no other wedding party will have the same ties as you. Ever. Here’s a sample of a swatch card the groom receives with the service:
The ties from Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont are handwoven (in Vermont of course) and began out of a business man’s desire to have high-quality and attractive ties to wear to work. What started as a home based business has grown into a huge production that continues to expand by making men look fabulous all year round. Are Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont ties the only bow ties around? No. Are they the best bow ties around with impeccable customer service, top notch quality, and exclusive fabrics ? Without a doubt, yes!
