Marriage And Tartan Go Well Together

Beautiful, Breathtaking and full of romance Scotland is one of the best places to tie the knot

A fly plaid is a great choice for the groom and alongside tartan kilts for the best men and guests looks very impressive. Tartan can also be incorporated into the bride's outfit - a blue tartan sash, borrowed or new tartan item take care of the something old, something new and something borrowed and something blue adage! matching the flowers in the bridal bouquet and in button holes to a dominant colour in the tartan brings all of the outfits together. A tartan corset also looks wonderful for those looking to for something extra Scottish.

The groom often buys rather than hires his outfit so that the kilt and jacket can be tailored to fit his exact measurements - after all everyone wants to look their best such an important day. and if you buy your outfit you'll always be reminded of your wonderful day. It's also something you might like to pass down the generations. And unlike like the bride's wedding dress it can be worn at many other events .

For best men the hiring of full highland outfits makes sense, especially if they all want to wear the same family tartan as the groom as this may differ from the kilt they already own, or the best men may not have a personal connection to Scotland - in which case a hire outfit it definitely the way to go, as it gives they the chance to look the part in an inexpensive way.

For children who are going to be attending the wedding a hire is perfect as you don't want to be forking out for expensive items when their sizes are changing!

A Hire outfit should look as good as if you had bought your outfit. While the items are not tailored to your exact measurements - you can mkae this feel your own with a wide range of syles and tartans to choose from, most sises are catered for. If you are going down this route be sure to place your order well in advance to ensure you have access to a wide range of sizes - this also give people to change to try on items and request and changes in good time. Any good hire company should be able to coordinate measuring members of the hire party and take payment from individuals.

Wedding 'favours' offer another opportunity to incorporate plaid into your big day, tablet is a traditional sweet treat that kids will love too, or you could opt for Moffat toffee or Scottish shortbread.

Corsages and flowers for button holes look wonderful with Scottish flowers, heather and tartan ribbon. Tartan ribbon can also be used to decorate your wedding cake in Scottish style!
