2026 is already off to a busy start here at MacGregor and MacDuff and as always, weddings are one of our main focuses. As with every year, we have noticed certain trends and styles becoming more popular. Keep reading for our top picks for the 2026 wedding season.
BOLD COLOURS
For many 2026 brides and grooms-to-be, neutrals are being put aside in favour of bold colour schemes. When it comes to groomswear, what could be more colourful than our 4,000 tartans? We have a kaleidoscope of options to explore, from ancient clan colours to vibrant modern variations and everything in between. Tartan is the ideal way to add a splash of colour to your day and honour your roots.
MAXIMALIST STYLING
Continuing the trend towards bolder wedding day styles, we are seeing a lot of grooms opting for more extravagant accessories. Maximalist accessories not only make your outfit unique but also ensure that you stand out as the groom amongst your wedding party. Show your personal style with an eye-catching fur sporran, gemstone kilt pin and a dramatic fly plaid.
PERSONAL TOUCHES
For the past few years, we have found that couples are looking for ways to make their day more personal and this trend shows no sign of slowing down. While kilt outfits can often be seen as quite traditional, there are so many special touches you can add to make your groomswear truly your own. Our embroidery service allows you to add details like your wedding date and initials to your accessories, such as handfasting ribbons and ring bearer cushions. These also make perfect keepsakes of your big day. For the ultimate in personal touches, there is nothing quite like our Signature Collection. Choose every detail of your jacket and waistcoat for a bespoke look you won’t see anywhere else.
SUSTAINABLE CHOICES
More than ever, couples are making eco-friendly choices when planning their big day. We pride ourselves on made-in-Scotland products and ensure that the suppliers we work with are also sustainably conscious. All of our outfits are made-to-order, meaning there is very little waste when creating our kilts and other products. Hiring is another of our offerings, which contributes to the circular economy. Our hire items are also a cost-effective option if you aren't sure that you will wear a kilt again. Browse our extensive kilt hire collection here.

Now is a great time to start planning your outfit if you are tying the knot in 2026. Head to our Weddings Page to learn more about our services or give us a call on 0141 280 3398 to get started.
