Hiya from Glasgow

Hi there everyone I do hope youre all well!

Ive came here from a recommendation from my friend to get some information regarding traditional scottish kilt wear and their place in womens fashion.

Basically I am newly engaged, and I will be the only Scot in the relationship as I will be marrying an American, I want to try to bring some tradition into what I am wearing on the day, I reached out to my friend asking if he knew if it was unheard of of a woman carrying a Sgian Dhu as my partner wont be wearing a kilt. Or if there were any female forms of it I could implement into my wedding outfit.

So yeah, any info on that would be great for me to have behind me!

Thank you!

Welcome to the “Great Rabble”!

I’m sure you’ll get many points of view here to amalgamate and compare. Good luck, and congratulations!

Welcome from a fellow-Glaswegian now living in the English midlands. I can't give a learned answer to your question, but I'm sure there will be many who will provide guidance.

Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding - and we look forward to seeing pictures!

You don't say where the wedding will be held but I'm presuming here in Scotland. Might I suggest something tartan but not OTT. Classic and tasteful is far better than going for the Outlander look.

Welcome, from Inverness-shire and British Columbia.

I think you should give a pass to the sgian

[neloon]

Aye, aye, fae Aiberdeen!
I think the Sgian is a no-no. How about a luckenbooth brooch

Sounds like a perfect suggestion, Alan

Well met new lady. I agree with Alan on the broach. A splash of tartan (scarf, belt or sash or hose) would be a good touch without overloading the complexity of your gown. Glad to have you with us.
