But I think a little more color could be used down there. If you can spring for some better hose, something in one of the red tones would really set you off. If not then add some red flashes with those. I'm ok with the plaid. But I would only wear it for the ceremony. If you are having a sit down reception, I would take it off. It'll just get in the way. But have it handy for the official photos.
Great advice...and it's funny, the colored hose were my fiance's choice, I was actually wanting to go white lol I will see what I can do for more color in the southern region, I think they were gonna use the tartan flashes...but don't quote me on that. It's hard with the rental because it really limits what you can put together. And I am totally with you on the plaid.
