I married my wife on the Isle of Skye. I wore the County Cork tartan with a tweed jacket and waistcoat. She wore a dress with a County Cork shawl that perfectly covered her down jacket (early April with a bit of snow on the ground and drizzle on and off 😁). We had a handfasting ceremony that included sharing the quaich with Talisker from the Isle of Skye. It was an elopement and we think it was perfect. We received a lot of compliments on our garb, thanks to USA Kilts. Have a great time and make sure you and your spouse enjoy the ceremony. It’s for you and your spouse.
What a wonderful story, thank you for sharing!
I think I answered this one on the full video. But my suggestion was, where one for the ceremony and change over to the other one, the clan tartan that you’re marrying into at the reception.
I am not married, but was recently in a small-town parade as a member of a family who has lived here for more than 75 years. The first members of my family to live here were from Clan Houston, and Great-Grandma Houston was a Hall in her own right.
I wanted both tartans in my parade dress, so I wore the brighter yellow-Houston tartan as my sash and the darker green-based Hall tartan as an apron that I made from the fabric, to serve as a complementary panel to the front of my long dark green dress.
(I took inspiration for that from another video you made, where you showed a tartan being used as a contrasting panel down the front of an even gown and I had an "Aha" moment. By this point in time this branch of Houstons was fairly poor so the evening gown panel became an apron. Thanks!)
I received compliments, although someone did mention to me afterwards that "traditionally it is usually only the paternal (man's) tartan that is worn". I already knew this had been the trend, which is exactly why I wanted both my Grandfather AND Grandmother's tartans to be represented.
In this case the bride could wear one tartan as her sash, and the other somewhere else in her attire. I did actually consider making a sash that was reversible, but ultimately went in another direction so I can't vouch for how well it works. 💜
What would be cool is that they both start by wearing their own tartan sash, and before the vows they take them off, and when he says I do, she puts her's on him and when she says I do, he puts his on her. Like they are being accepted into each other's family.
I thought men usually wore their tartans as a kilt, and women in their skirt or as a sash. I am not familiar with men wearing a sash, unless you were referring to a man's tartan fly?Those are worn more like a cape off the back of the shoulder and don't function exactly the same as a woman's sash. I like the idea of exchanging tartans symbolically as a sign of acceptance into each other's families, but instead of the groom taking off a sash to put on her, he could just have one made in his plaid ready to put on her, and vice versa. The bride could have a plaid fly or something else made in her tartan for him to put on during the ceremony. 🙂
Sashes? We don't need no stinking sashes. 🤣
