More confused than when I started here. Help dress me for my own wedding?
Hi all,
As the title implied, I feel like I have a less clear understanding of what I'm doing than when I started. I'm now a year away from my own wedding, and starting to build out an outfit for the day. My parents and grandparents were all married in Morning dress. I thought that I would continue this tradition, with a Highland flair. This is what I *think* I want to wear.
Silver buttoned, black barathea Argyll
5 button vest
Fly plaid & brooch (since it seems to be the consensus here that one's own wedding is practically the only time a fly plaid is apropos)
White French-cuffed, turn-down collar shirt
Grandfather's cufflinks (and pocket watch? Watch is gold)
Long tie in a coordinating color, possibly ancient/lovat green
Kilt (probably my Stewart of Appin Hunting Ancient)
Fox fur silver-cantle sporran
Hand-knit hose in a coordinating color, probably lovat blue
Garter ties in ancient red
Black cap-toe shoes.
I'm foregoing a sgain dubh because it's a church wedding, and I feel odd carrying a weapon into God's house.
Any critique is appreciated before I start amassing this collection. Before anyone asks about full mask sporrans, I have already been shot down on that score. The fiancée just can't stand the idea of having a dead thing's face in our wedding photos. Thanks in advance.
