Return to article: How to Dress for a Scottish Wedding
on 8/8/2006 My Groom refused point blank to wear a kilt, however we got his family tartan in a silk tie for about $29 and he can contiue to wear it proudly as part of his hetitage after the wedding. I am wearing the tartan in a sash that goes across my shoulder and pins at my hip. Make sure the wedding dress in simple enough that it doesn't compete with the tartan... oh... and if you are ordering your tartan over the internet, make sure you have it in hand before you pick you wedding colors. Don't trust your monitor. What looked for all the world to be navy blue and hunter green turned out to be turquoise and a strange green that defies discription.
on 8/8/2006 Rather than use a tartan ribbon for corsages or buttonholes, try having them made from thistle and/or heather. This is a classier and more traditional Scottish-themed option.
on 6/30/2006 I don't know where the tip on dressing the bride in tartan ribbons came from, because no one in Scotland does this/has ever done this.
on 3/30/2006 Make sure you research your heraldry beforehand, there would be nothing more embarrassing than wearing the tartan of another clan.
on 11/22/2005 If your groom refuses to wear a kilt, ditch him. He clearly lacks confidence in his own masculinity and will eventually run off with the best man. There are plenty of real men out there who are proud of who and will cherish you for who you are.
