Welcome TO OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FEATURE - WE HOPE IT ASSISTS YOU.
Q: My brothers may look gorgeous in their kilts
but I am the bride!
How can I display my heritage and my femininity, and still be princess for the day?
For a long while it has seemed, unfairly,
as though the menfolks are the beneficiaries of Scotland's unique and
beautiful national fabric. However, House of Tartan provide a unique
personal "weave to order" service to produce the luxurious pure silk
sash or wedding arisaid in your tartan, for an irresistibly romantic
addition to the bridal gown. To be inspired, CLICK HERE
Q: Help! I am a soon-to-be Scots Groom. What do I wear?
Actually, you are spoilt for choice. Whichever style of wedding you are having you can incorporate the flavour of your heritage whichever way you please.
The Prince Charlie formal highland outfit is still the classic choice. This elegant outfit, comprising the evening jacket and collar shirt with the swing of the kilt, always makes a handsome Groom.
For a more rugged, youthful look, the Jacobean shirt outfit is extremely
popular, and just as suitable for a proud Scots Groom.
Many also choose to wear the Fly Plaid. In recent years, there has been a move towards wearing the Tartan Fly Plaid over the left shoulder, fastened with a clan brooch.
Finally, the Kilt, beautiful as it is, does not appeal to everybody. For those who still wish to display their clan affiliations, the Tartan Trews outfit is a respectably formal tartan outfit, and makes an ideal alternative for those who would rather keep their legs under wraps!
And the good news is whichever you decide on, House of Tartan can have your outfit made-to-measure, with the tartan of your choice, for yourself, and any male relatives who require highland dressing. CLICK HERE to browse the Highland Menswear.
Q: How can we include my Bridesmaid's in the Scottish theme?
This year House of Tartan has launched a new service, so that you can
now complement the bride with tartan-clad bridesmaids. Gorgeous, flowing
silk fabric can now be made-to-order for your dressmakers in the tartan
of your choice, for exciting options for the Scottish wedding bridesmaids.
This may also prove an appealing alternative for an adventurous bride. E-MAIL now
Q: The children would look so adorable in their
own kilts can I get these made too?
Yes, of course! Kilts, Highland Shirts, Tartan Waistcoats (vests) or trousers
can all be made-to-order for a proud Pageboy. Flower girls can also be decked out
in dupion or dress silk tartan so they can be aware of their heritage, and feel
truly involved in the wedding theme.
Q: My family name does not have its own tartan
yet I am proud of my Scots heritage, and feel I should have a tartan to wear
on my big day!
