Scottish weddings are uniquely special. Lashings of tartan, traditional Scottish pipes guiding the guests into the ceremony and, if you’re being completely traditional, a ceilidh at the end of the night – never dignified by that time but always fun nevertheless. Kilts are an especially unique touch to a wedding. Offering style and sophistication with a difference, these historical garments are becoming more popular around the world and the magic of a Scottish wedding doesn’t have to be restricted to Scotland.

Kilts not your bag? Have you considered tartan trews? Made with 100% worsted wool, these are an alternative choice for those looking to incorporate a Scottish touch to their wedding but not necessarily a kilt. These can be styled with traditional Prince Charlie jackets or modern tweed jackets.

Kilts and made-to-measure jackets by MacGregor and MacDuff are made in Scotland with 100% worsted wool sourced from authentic Scottish mills and, fortunately, if you’ve been looking to buy or a hire a kilt, you don’t have to travel all that way. From February 18th to 25th, you can get a kilt fitting in London at their pop-up shop in Shoreditch. If you’re looking to measure up your groomsmen, be sure to bring them along too.

MacGregor and MacDuff specialise in authentic, handmade kilts and take great pride in playing a crucial part in over 1500 weddings every single year. Looking to highlight the very best of Scotland, the brand will also be bringing samples of Dear Green Coffee – fair-trade coffee roasted in Glasgow and samples from Scottish subscription box specialists Wee Box, a box is full of authentic Scottish gifts and edible treats.

If you’re looking to include tartan in your wedding, you can also buy a tartan handfasting ribbon or ring cushion from the kiltmakers in a tartan of your choice. Their London kilt fitting service is available every two weeks so if you can’t attend the pop-up shop, please get in touch to find a more suitable time. A kilt outfit should be made exactly to your size and taste, especially for a day as significant and unforgettable as your wedding day. MacGregor and MacDuff have a range of over 900 tartans and outfit options from the traditional Prince Charlie kilt outfit to stylish, modern tweed outfits. As well as this, they offer 2 free hires to any groom that buys their kilt outfit.

If you like tartan tailoring or you're looking for a Scottish wedding suit, head to London's Shoreditch to Discover MacGregor and MacDuff.
