Plaid with a regular suit?

[plaid preacher]

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback! Sorry for the delayed response. I am not a member of a clan myself, so I think we have decided that I will wear a sash after the ceremony. He is wearing a very slim black tux and I am trying to convince him to opt for the tartan bowtie to kind of tie it in hehe... I don't think he will go for it as it is quite loud and he is more of the understated style type of guy. I do have another question. When selecting the 'type' of tartan pattern, are certain ones best for certain occasions, or is it just personal preference? We both like the MacMillan 'old/ancient modern' style, it is similar to the original but a bit darker (without that loud pinkish hue!) Also, I am learning to navigate this site, so I hope I am responding in the correct way!

Katelyn, fight the good fight. I happen to think that the MacMillan Modern is a smashing tartan, and would look very smart. If you wear the tie, do go with the matching waistcoat or cumberbund. That will help to pull it together a little more than just a tartan tie alone. You can find bow tie/cumberbund sets at many Scottish shops..and if not they can certainly bring them in for you. It is his tartan, so I hope he wears it with pride.
