Actually, I think it's pretty clever and done right could be very attractive. Whether it catches on or not is yet to be seen.

Oh flowering symbol of Scotland...

BRIDEGROOMS wishing to add a Scottish flavour to their wedding now have the perfect accessory – a specially designed floral kilt sporran.

Women traditionally carry bouquets, but instead of donning the traditional buttonhole men can go a step further and have a spray of flowers on the front of their kilt as well.

Experts say more non-Scots than ever are choosing to get married in Scotland – 18 per cent more than five years ago – and many choose to wear a kilt.

The novel floral wedding sporran idea and a bespoke floral handbag decorating service is being offered by national garden centre chain Dobbie's, which is owned by Tesco.

Stylists will draw up designs after consultations with couples, with prices ranging from £20 to £75 depending on the choice of flowers and size.

Any medium or small-sized flowers can be used – including roses and the traditional Scottish thistle.

Dobbie's spokeswoman, Gail Sutherland, said: "Floral sporrans will be the must-have trend for anyone wearing a kilt at a wedding this summer.

"There's been a huge rise in people growing their own fruit, veg, flowers and plants so we thought why not go one better and design some floral wedding accessories."
