I am hoping that on this forum you guys would have photos of kilts with various outfits etc. Problem is I probably wont be able to try it together before the wedding because I will be hiring the rest of the outfit!!

Any ideas would be great thanx guys!!
Hi Moovet,

Firstly, welcome to X Marks.

What you are describing certainly sounds as if you want to break away from 'the traditional' wedding outfit but, to be honest, I don't think it would work at all - it would look a bit of a mess! You don't have to wear a Prince Charlie - there are other styles of formal/semi-formal jackets you could choose.

Many of the Scottish Highland Dress outfitters have some very unusual and really 'different' wedding outfits for hire these days, so I'd shop around. A jacket and waistcoat like this, seems to be what you might be looking for:
