Kilt-n-stuff

This one is for the Groomsmen and any other guy that wants in on the kilt wearing action.  As you probably have heard this is an Irish wedding. So the groom and groomsmen are going to be wearing the traditional Irish kilt.

Sean will be wear his grandfather's tartan of Kerry county. The groom's men are to wear the black kilt and any others can wear what ever tartan they would like to include the rental black tartan.

They are a family run company based in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. 


The full formal rental package includes everything you need from head to toe, except for the underwear, which of course is optional. 


New – They have a “Keep-the-Kilt” option. For an additional $35 you can keep your kilt! Select any of the tartans available and keep the economy kilt to remember your special occasion.

How to Measure for Your Skirt:

Step 3) Measure from your waistline to you desired length. It is best if you have help, because bending even slightly will change the measurement.

Bridesmaid's Dresses

Well I guess it's about time I filled some of you on some of the plans for this horse and pony show. I decided to go through David's Bridal. Mostly because most of my bride's maids are in different parts of the country. So here is the Bridesmaid's dress I have picked out. Let me know what you think.
It's Long Soft Capped Sleeve Gown Style 84036 Color Truffle

Here is the link:

I just found out it's on sale too. Now the dress is only available online. So you can order it and have it altered at any David's Bridal.

Shoe ideas.

I thought this might work for the shoes. Black does with everything right....
Satin Platform Sandal with Removable Flower Style FLAMENCO

I like the adjustable flower on the shoe. My shoes have flowers on the side of the sandal strap.  I'll be posting those when they come in. ;)

But really wear shoes that feel comfortable to you.

No Jewelry will not  be needed. If you do choose to wear jewelry stick with silver jewelry. During the ceremony all the brides maids will be wearing a shawl.  It's to go with the Irish theme.
