Kilts aren’t just for Scottish grooms any more… We’ve got Utilikilts, steampunk kilts, goth kilts and soooo much more.

An intimate, ultraviolet Austrian wedding with bits of Scotland

Karin and Helge love Scotland and have spent several vacations there. So they decided to instill some of what they love into their ultraviolet dress and kilt, velvet shoes covered in embroidery (illustrating their last name!), and a horse-drawn carriage to transport all their guests. My favorite part? The bouquet was split into three parts and given to the three witnesses of the ceremony.

Denae and Daniel clearly spent so much time and so much love on the details of their Harry Potter geek Scottish wedding in Maine. Danae scouted all of her table settings from thrift stores to create the vintage-inspired setup. The ceremony archway was framed by replicas of the couple’s pets: their cats and their lizard!

To cap it all off, there was a rainbow just as the reception was beginning. You just have to see it!

Tim Burton-inspired wedding

A Tim Burton-inspired wedding with hints of Star Wars and epic terrarium centerpieces

Tracy and Ben’s Tim Burton-inspired wedding was an amazing reflection of an aesthetic they love. Plus, there were hints of Star Wars and comic books, too. They got married at a private barn in Pipersville, PA that had rustic charm for days and plays host to art shows. Tracy DIYed all of the decorations including the very fun and geeky terrariums.

All of the groom’s side of the wedding party were in kilts (including his sisters!) and their pups made cameos all over. There was a September heat wave going on, so Tracy rocked a gorgeous and goth-inspired black parasol for some ceremony shade. Then it was all about the dancing in the (slightly) cooler barn. Let’s peep this killer goth and Tim Burton-inspired wedding…

The romantic Scottish wedding of our kilted fantasies

The romantic Glasgow wedding of our kilted fantasies

Christina and Paul wanted a fairly traditional Scottish wedding with a bit of a twist. Think natural touches and a bit of a travel theme. Oh, and everything was seriously GORGEOUS on top of it all. there was lovely greenery, purple touches, and even travel-themed table names on a big map to show everyone where they’ve been (and where to sit, of course).

Don’t miss the HUGE heart-shaped cupcake display! Shall we peek at this Glasgow wedding of our kilted dreams?

This backyard labor of love wedding is darkly beautiful with rich reds (in hair, clothes, and decor!), an awesome handmade feast, and a courtyard ceremony full of tears and handwritten vows. You’ll love the long red gown and kilt/boots combo(!) on these brides. Don’t miss the sweet serenade during the reception!

Two brides, a kilt, a chic pants outfit, and so many playful details: this sweet Oregon wedding at McMenamins is making our life. But when you see what they did at the ceremony (hint: it involves singing into a mic!), you’ll be bowled over. Then take that bowling over to the lawn games and pizza party and you’ll have this fun-as-hell wedding.
