Sporran Selection

[Liam]

Congratulations to you and your bride! I am also glad to hear the she is leaving it to yo to outfit yourself and your groomsmen. This bodes well for both the wedding but also your married life. I concur with Troglodyte in that you should dress in the formality of your beautiful bride and her brides maids. If she is wearing a gown, then dandy yourself up. If she is wearing a simpler dress, then dress accordingly in tweed day wear and and a daywear leather sporran.
Back to your original question, I’d go with a silver/chrome cantle fur .
Here is my sideways version of my badger sporran.
Cheers!

Thank you Liam! Looking sharp sir!

Hope this helps:

Same seal skin sporran - different jackets.



For contrast, pretty much the same rig as the first photo but with a leather sporran (and different kilt) and a better image of the sporran.



I think the evening sporran in the first two pics looks better for a wedding - with either jacket - seams my wife was right all along!!

Wives are always right..!

Our job as groom is to dress as instructed, turn up on time, and do what we're told.

Good choice of sporrans there, Tomo. I would bet the price of a pint that the brown number with braided border is the work of Nicoll Bros' skilled hands.

I commissioned a couple just the same from them around the turn of the millenium, and had the tassel-cords crossing. Wonderful quality.

Indeed - correct on both counts. The other sporran is from WE Scott (but you could probably have "guessed" that was the case as well)

I tell young couples that the purpose of a marriage ceremony is to praise God, and thank God that you have found each other, and to ask God to bless you as you start life in a new relationship.

Then turning to the groom, I sometimes say, the second purpose of the ceremony is to keep her and her mother happy. After that, you get to take her home.
