Tartan Trainers for the Trendy Bride

With more and more brides choosing to forgo heels (and the associated blisters) on their big day, it's no surprise that bridal trainers are on the rise, but you don't need to sacrifice style for comfort.

At ScotlandShop we're well known for our gorgeous tartan court shoes. They are a huge hit at Wedding Exhibitions and in our Edinburgh store. As Anna can tell you they are incredibly comfortable, and great for wearing for those all day celebrations, dinners and dances. However if heels aren't your thing, you can still wear your clan tartan on those dancing feet with pride.

More recently brides have been opting for a typically comfortable style of shoe for their big day. Whether it's for the ceremony, or just for hitting the dance floor at the reception, brides are loving the latest trend of bridal trainers. While ivory, sparkles and custom design trainers are now readily available at many outlets, including big designers such as Kate Spade and Jimmy Choo we prefer our very own take on custom bridal footwear.

Bridal Trainers -Effortless comfort and style


If you're looking for a traditional twist on a current trend, our trainers have wool uppers, woven in Scotland of course, which gives you a breathable and comfortable shoe that is leather lined and beautifully finished. Knowing that our customers love to create things in your own clan or family tartan, our tartan trainers are also available in over 500 tartans, from sizes UK4 to UK12. These shoes are made to dance the night away!

There are so many options for tying these into your wedding theme. You can match these to your partners Tartan Trews, your custom Handfasting Ribbon and Wool Tartan Garter or have your bridesmaids wear matching Tartan Stoles. They are ideal for outdoor weddings, and can be worn time and time again as a little reminder of your big day.
