Default Handfasting Advice

Ok girls (and boys), I need your help.

I've been invited to a Handfasting (pagan wedding) ceremony and I want to look the part. The invite says:

"The dress code of the celebration shall be comfy (including something warm and weatherproof as the ceremony may take place outdoors)."

Bearing in mind that this is taking place on the East Coast of Scotland - what shall I wear?

Tx

The usual crushed velvet is out - it spoils rotten when it rains, or my stuff does it seems...
The word is layers. Layers and layers and layers. Even if you do end up going in the proverbial 'wench dress', no one's going to know that you've got a thermal vest, longjohns and leggings underneath!
As for aesthetic, well, it all depends on what you want, my dear. Do you have a personal deity? Wearing their colours to a happy event like this can bring the new couple luck, even if your patron isn't usually a benevolent chap/pette. If not colours, then a symbol.

East Coast of Scotland?! They're maaaaaad... *shiver*

Well - Athena's my girl - of course. Dunno what colours she likes, but I'm a pink and purple girl, myself.

They are totally mad. Why December? I'm going to have to ruin whatever I wear by putting a waterproof over it.

You could do something like what I did to go to Venice for the Carnival in February:


Made my own cape, lined with fake fur. Dress from e-bay. I have the pattern for making capes easily if you're interested.

(And yes, I am wearing longjohns and thick socks under that!)

I think you should have two outfits - one indoors / reception, and a "outdoors" outfit that you can take off.

Plenty of fingers and toes to go around though!

Seriously, couldn't they have waited until April?

Lol purple's a good one for Athena, luckily - so's silver and blue. Got an owl or shield brooch? I think you're safe to leave out the goatskin on this occasion
