Advice on some colours/accessories for my wedding kilt.

[OC Richard]

it is your wedding in 3 months, and you need to complete a Great Scot Modern, Braemar 5 button, & (white) shirt. What colours do you opt for with the neck-tie, sporran, hose and flashes? If you can picture that.

Here's the tartan (a bit bigger than your avatar)



My personal thing is to avoid the main kilt-colours for the rest of my outfit when possible.

The kilt is already presenting those colours- let them breathe!

My tie would be black, no question there.

My sporran would be the goat-hair one I always wear.

I'd wear buckled shoes.

My only conundrum would be hose and flashes. The jacket being black, the kilt being dark blues and purples, I would want to introduced some contrasting colour into the outfit, preferably a lighter colour, a warm colour.

With weddings you have the "wedding colours" which dictate what you can wear and what you can't. Were it any other occasion I'd get hose that contrasted against the kilt, say claret or Old Gold. Or perhaps pick up that pair of lighter blue stripes with St Andrews Blue hose. But it being a wedding I'd follow the wedding colours.

BTW I found this image online, appears to be the same tartan but with a pair of white lines instead of a pair of light blue lines. Gives a bit of an impression of a wedding outfit using a tartan like that (though I wouldn't wear the white hose, myself)
