Sorry to dredge up this old (closed) one, but I feel I have some value to add.

I feel you can wear a kilt when the invite specifies morning dress.

Of course another option is trews with a morning coat thus: http://www.people.com/people/package...903437,00.html

But if going with the kilt, stay away from all forms of modified evening dress, and stick closer to J. "Scotty" Thompson than the MacKinnon book offered in the old thread. Honestly, tartan hose,dirks and silver buttons everywhere and throw in a sliver FIH, borders on, if not crosses in to, parody.


I look to the master: For my own wedding I had my tailor copy this jacket/vest combo: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-photos-49608/
in a similar oxford gray worsted. My Scottish born friend advised against a leather days sporran, and suggested white fur and (off) white hose to maintain the formality, though my groomsmen wore their own grey lounge suits. It was a rather small wedding. Were I to do it again I might not do the white hose, but who knows. I know the stigma they have acquired being associated with hire Prince Charlies (I wear full tartan hose with evening dress) but I don't think it was the worst advise under the circumstances, as they do have a place somewhere for sure.
Were I invited today as a guest to a wedding asking for morning attire and I wanted to wear a kilt, I might substitute a dove gray or beige linen morning vest and my favorite salmon colored hose.
I think a black argyle or dark gray solid tweed in day pattern are fine, but a dove gray vest might just be the thing.
Stay away from most other tweeds: lovats, estate, hunting, Harris, etc. Just not formal enough.
Tie: have a ball, the silver wedding tie is dead among people with any taste or imagination.
Cheers,
