Tartan at Gretna green!?!

[probablyadaftquestion]

I'm English, as is my Partner. For background my grandmother was scottish. We're getting married next year at Gretna green, I did wonder if a tartan sash would be completely a no go and frowned upon - I bloody love tartan!
Views welcome

Why would it be? We are thinking about a Gretna green wedding.

ohh @Slinkyminky22 which venue are you looking at?

I’m Scottish. I can’t think of any reason it would be frowned upon, go for it!

I had a Gretna wedding in 2023. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks for that!

ah thats so nice to hear!

We did the Coach House and then Smiths, we had a bagpiper and horse and carriage both booked separately as it was slightly cheaper.

Why not! You have Scottish roots. Be nice to use the appropriate tartan.

My sister had a white wedding dress with a tartan wrap - it was an October wedding and looked great. My friend had a white dress with a tartan sash round the waist came together at the back and flowed down - beautiful. So definitely go for it.

oh this thread has made me smile! We're getting married in October too. I'm also a redhead so the colours work really well for autumn as a very shallow consideration!

What venue do you have?

You have a scottish grandmother so of course you can wear tartan in whatever form. Our current Scotland rugby captain is only eligible because of his scottish granny and everyone loves him!

Have you researched your grandmother's family name or clan tartan, if there is one? Perhaps you could wear that.

I've found mine and it as dull as ditchwater

There's tartan everywhere you look in the tourist bit of Gretna Green so you will fit right in.

@IHaveRunOutOfIdeasthe original blacksmiths shop.

yes @ThreePears there is one, luckily it’s lovely!
