Tartan Gowns (since the subject has come up)

[kiltimabar]

I have this same photo on another active thread, but it seems as applicable here.

I was hired to perform at this Scottish couple's marriage ceremony & reception which took place at Graceland. They came to Memphis last August to be wed there during Elvis Week.

The bride purchased the gown in her hometown of Edinburgh and had some custom alterations, though I have no recollection what they were.

It was a lovely tartan wedding gown and the outside air temperature that day reached 106 degrees.

This is a grand picture, but why is it that brides always look so triumphant, and grooms look so...stunned?

It's something to do with finally getting it over with.

I was thrilled to be getting married, but my hands shook the whole way through the ceremony and there 'was' a picture of my half way through the ceremony looking absolutely terrified


Cynthia, my wife and her mum have made a few gowns from that period. They are a lot of work but absolutely worth it!
I would not be surprised or at all judgmental if you happened to find that you had just a weeeeee bit of money going spare.

Very nice, both ladies and dresses. Now I need to have Mrs. Standard get of those. Actually my daughter would like a tartan dress for her senior prom, not sure now after seeing how lovely these ladies look if I should let her or not.

Bookmarked the site.

My wife has actually made several renaissance dresses for the renfair, including corsets with stay and laces. I'll have to put the bug in her head about some of those.

They are nice indeed!

They are very nice pictures. Beautiful dresses coupled with beautiful ladies. I especially like the Isle of Skye wedding gown. I think some women worry that they will fade into the background when their man wears full Highland Regalia. With a gown like that, no would even realise he was kilted!

With a woman like that in a gown like that, no one would realise he was there!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the simple blue and white dress you called sort of renfaire-ish. I think I just might make one of those.

Reality is starting to sink in.....

He's just intimidated by the size of those pipes - and that's why she looks triumphant!
