More confused than when I started here. Help dress me for my own wedding?

BW,

The outfit sounds great. I personally wouldn't wear a fly plaid with an argyll jacket as I think that a fly plaid looks best as a formal accessory with a formal doublet or a PC Doublet as evening wear, but it is your wedding. One thing that I have learned from XMTS is that in highland attire there seem to be two modes. The first is understated and not overly worried about everything being perfect. The second is over the top flamboyant and grand. If you aren't going for the over the top formal look it is better to go a little understated. The only thing in your outfit that seems over the top is the fly plaid. It might be worth thinking about over the next year.

Cheers

Hi BW,

Your outfit sounds great. I'm another who is no real fan of the fly plaid, though it's entirely your choice.
Have you considered some other plaid options if you want to stand out? I'm not sure of the suitability in terms of the correct level of formality, but here's a couple of options that sprang immediately to mind-

Firstly, Steve's plaid as seen in posts #47 & #50 in this thread-

Secondly, a similar concept rediscovered by Matt Newsome here-

Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be a fantastic day for you both.

I am with the others in advising against the fly plaid. If you insist, well its your choice and your money, but remember one thing.

In twenty years time, when your children look at the wedding pictures(as they do), be prepared to dive for cover when the howls of laughter echo around the house!
