Nothing has been as difficult to locate as ties for our GM, dads, and usher! Here's the picture that inspire much of our color scene for the wedding:

Grey suits: Check
Mini Flame Calla Lilies: Check
Burnt Orange Ties: ummm....no luck!
We have been searching for ties since December and have had zero luck. The first place I ordered ties from was Ralph Lauren. They were slightly out of our budget for ties, but I thought they would be great gifts for our guys.

I was very excited to receive these! They showed up on your doorstep while three of our groomsmen were here celebrating the end of the school year with my FI. I rushed to open the box and pull one out. Then I heard, "Are those pink?!" "No, they are orange...I think..." Not the reaction I was looking for, but I absolutely agreed. They weren't burnt orange like this picture would led you to believe, they were bright orange and looked rather pink. They were returned after we took them to several suit stores and they looked terrible! Also, we ordered this tie in blue for our dads but it never arrived (more on this later).
The next place we found possible contenders was Jos. A. Bank. The day we went suit shopping we found these ties.
Please ignore the glare...sorry!
We thought these were perfect. They were much more reasonably priced. The orange tie has two shades of blue in it that are very similar to the BM dresses. Also, the blue tie (for our dads and usher) has small orange dots in it! Perfect, right?!
Well our friend who works at Jos. A. Bank cannot locate enough of either of them for us. So, it's back to the drawing board and I'm feeling very discouraged! Here are some possible contenders:

What do you think of these ties? Are stripes too business casual for a wedding? HELP!
