Mad About Plaid
We have fallen in love with plaid - tartan plaids, to be specific. Steeped in history, these colorful patterns traditionally identified the wearer as belonging to a specific Scottish clan. But you don't have to be Scottish--or make your fiancé dress up in a kilt--to incorporate the rich beauty of tartan plaid in your wedding day. The warmth of the wool fabric makes tartan plaid an ideal material for a winter wedding in particular. Not only are the vibrant color patterns eye-catching against a field of white--there's nothing quite like the stylish warmth of a tartan blanket thrown across your lap as you're whisked to your ceremony in a horse-drawn sleigh but, used sparingly, they can also add just the right "pop" to the overall look of your wedding. Think about using tartan plaid for your sash or the groom's vest, as a decorative element at the reception tables, in your bouquet, even on your cake! For a fabric once associated with feuding clans, tartan plaid really plays well with other colors, eagerly lending a festive air to any wintry celebration. Maybe even yours!
