just sewed up some flashes

Nice DIY work and I'm loving the tux kilt!

Given that much contrast, however, you might want to see how they look at a shorter length. As pictured, yours might get the dreaded "windsock" response! Check out this thread for a discussion of flashes length with some good example photos.

Hope the wedding goes off beautifully!

Thank you. I was wondering myself if they were a bit too long. maybe another inch off? easy to do ;-)

Flash length is a personal choice (and, as noted in that other thread, may vary based on your hose turnover and other factors) but based on your photo, I might fold them up so only about 1.5 inch is showing -- see what you think -- adjust the length temporarily until you find what you like, then do the permanent adjustment.
