    Re: Wedding advice

    As many have said, to design a tartan, have it custom woven, then made into a kilt, takes time, I have had several custom weaves done and minimum time has been 3 months, then the kilt maker, just short of two months. And that was me not even having to design the tartan. Having been down the wedding road twice, I know how many times a bride can change her mind on things like colours. I would hate to see you design and commision a tartan, then two or three months down the track, the colour scheme of the wedding party changes. Be very, very careful.

    There are a lot of tartans already out there, so have a careful look around, before going the most expensive route. As a poster said, talk with your betrothed and see if you can work something out with existing stock tartans.
