Tartan-Tastic!!

New girl Michelle here to tell the world I love Tartan! And not just because I'm Scottish! With so many colours and patterns available, it works great for brides who have a variety of colours they want for the big day, and also fits well into so many themes. And of course, men always look hot in a kilt! (picture of Gerard Butler for your enjoyment girls!)

There are so many ways to influence tartan into your wedding. Invitations can have small strips of material on a white card to stand out and decorations can include tartan ribbons or sashes on chairs and around bouquets. Even adding a sash around the waist of your bridesmaids can give a little boost of colour. You can  of course go all out and have a whole dress made of tartan, not one for the faint-hearted though! 

If you add wild flowers like thistles and heather to your venue, it can really highlight a Scottish feel. you can even get a ceildh band to get everyone up and dancing or a Piper to pipe you down the aisle. Of course it doesn't have to be Scottish, with English and Irish tartans available, you can share your British heritage in a unique way. And if like to support our troops, Help for Heroes have their own tartan which is available from many gents Formal Hire stores and raises money for our boys and girls in the military! Tartan, love it!!
