Kilts for Everyone!

Ok, maybe not EVERYONE, but yes, for the wedding!
Today Matt and I enjoyed a lovely day taking care of more wedding details. After visiting Donegal Square on Main Street to inquire about kilt rentals, we headed to Phoenixville where we stopped in at USA Kilts. Kelly and Rocky, the owners and kiltmakers, were most helpful. They explained all of our options regarding styles of kilts, types of materials, jackets, waistcoats, socks, flashes (the plaid, ribbon-like things that stick out of the top of the socks!), as well as prices.
We decided to think about things a bit so we walked around the cute downtown and ended up in the local brewery, of course. It was ironically similar to our Brew Works, but called the Iron Hill Brewery. Matt also got to enjoy the end of the Villanova game; there's no such thing as too much basketball. Over a pint and some soup, we decided to go for it!
Upon our return, Kelly announced that the Buchanan's were back and we started with the measurements! Matt and Dad will wear them for the wedding, but I got one, too, for special events like Celtic Classic and St. Patrick's day. Why not, right?
Apparently traditional Scottish weddings allow for everyone to wear their own kilt; according to Kelly this makes for very colorful weddings. Since I don't think anyone else has a tartan the groomsmen will rent the blackwatch plaid, which for a decent price includes all the belt, vest, and coat trimmings.
With this decided I can now move on to bridesmaid dresses, flowers and decorations for the reception hall. Here's a sneak peek of the tartan I chose. I believe this is considered the ancient version as opposed to the very bright modern or very dark hunting version. I think it will look fabulous in the fall, especially on the beach in the late afternoon!
