Wedding kilt and accessories.

[ratspike]

I'm not a minister or a father, but I have been to more weddings than any normal person will attend in probably a dozen lifetimes.

From a strictly aesthetic point of view, I think a black kilt would be fabulous. At the weddings I shoot, if the officiant is a man and it's not in a church, it's usually a dark or black suit. If you wanted to bring in a bit of wedding color it would be easy. I generally wear a black kilt and vest, with a jewel tone shirt and funky tie of some sort.

If you do decide to wear tartan, don't try to match it with the wedding colors. Pick the one you like and wear it like you own it. I'm sure you'll have a boutonieere for pulling in wedding color, so you can call it good at that. As far as bling, I wouldn't be inclined towards more than a kilt pin if it were me.

I've been to a several weddings where the officiant was the father of either the bride or the groom, and it's completely awesome. Also, don't worry about outshining or taking attention away from the bride and groom. Ain't gonna happen. I've seen more than a few red dresses in my time but seriously, everyone is too busy looking at the bride to care.

Good gracious man! Wear YOUR tartan and to the devil with all that wedding colours caper. That's for the girls and general decor, not your kilt!

My thought was to wear the Hunter tartan. Muted colors. Wedding band, buckle and kilt pin in silver. The rest in black with a red flower. But the clergy tartan is a nice touch as well.
Many blessings to all for your input.
Father Bill, thank you for putting me straight. Only time I wear a robe is on Sabbats and funerals.

I could not agree more, in the future it really will be nice to see your clan tartan in the photos instead of one that matched the flowers. As far as sliver goes it all depends on the level of formality worn you may want to take a look at 1 kilt 10 looks thread paying attention to the last few entries

I too wear a cassock-alb to conduct weddings but often wear the kilt under it. For family weddings, it is always a clan tartan.

For example: from left to right, just before conducting my son's wedding; after conducting my youngest daughter's wedding where the men in the wedding party were in morning dress; and after conducting a wedding where most of the men were in Highland morning dress.
