After scouring department stores for the perfect tie, to no avail, I finally decided to check Amazon for what I needed.  None of the stores had any solid ties (in my color, anyway), which is what I wanted for my wedding.  The closest that I did find were over $40, which to me is pretty outrageous for a tie, especially for a bride on a budget.

Our wedding theme is a bright, bubbly turquoise blue and expressive sunflowers.  I like to consider myself a very bubbly person, so these colors match me pretty well.  Finding turquoise was not a problem, but finding just the right sunshiney yellow definitely was.  That's when I stumbled on this tie.  Always skeptical of buying clothes online, I decided to give it a shot and I am glad that I did.  It is exactly the color pictured, which is what I wanted - definitely not too bright!  I love it, and I cannot wait to see my fiance's best man wearing it when we tie the knot!
