It's the land of poets and plaid and tartans and thanes. The
2011 Evening Dresses of Scotland offer the modern bride a chance to show off her heritage with warmth and color.
Scotland's marriage customs are a perfect reflection of the nation's heritage and customs. The full Scottish wedding often includes bagpipes, full tartan dress, and festivities that sometimes last for days.
The wedding celebration begins with Stag and Hen parties.
The tradition of holding a stag party for the groom and a hen party for the bride the night before the wedding is a part of Scottish customs in the cities and small towns alike. In parts of the Kingdom of Fife, the groomsmen soak the groom in a cold bath while smearing grease, ashes and soot over his feet and calves. The bath is meant to bring good fortune in the marriage.
The hen party is famous for its noise and spectacle. Family and friends dress the bride up in elaborate clothes, smear her face with soot, and parade her through the streets to the accompaniment of clanking cans, whistles, and pots and pans. They follow behind her shouting to scare away evil

The wedding day
Brides wear traditional white wedding dresses, traditionally in the Victorian style. Grooms can wear tuxedoes or traditional Scottish formal attire, including a Prince Charlie jacket and vest, kilt, and sporran, or small waist pouch. The plaid of the kilt and other garments are by long-standing custom the official pattern of the groom's clan, or extended family.
The wedding ceremony is held in the afternoon, usually around 4PM. Most services are held either within the Catholic Church or in the Protestant Church of Scotland.
Upon leaving the

A bagpiper will sometimes play as the couple walks to a waiting car or carriage that takes them to the reception. As the car leaves, the groom sometimes throws small silver coins to the children to gather up for good luck.
