Registration notes: The Gold-Smith tartan was developed for a wedding, as a fitting way for the groom to express his ambiguous part-Scottish, part-Sassenach heritage. Its design drew inspiration first and foremost from the groom’s beloved football club, Watford FC, and their yellow, black and red colours. Happily, the official tartan of the groom’s name (Smith) also features red and yellow, so the new tartan was fashioned in reference to the Smith tartan’s pattern for those two colours, to add another connection. In addition, a line of brown was added to complement a splash of the same colour found on the bride’s dress. Finally, the name was chosen to reflect the combination of the new tartan’s football-based inspiration (Watford are called, amongst many other things, the Golden Boys) and the surname of the wearer.
Woven Sample: A woven sample of this tartan has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Records of Scotland.
