I think the kilt – I have one in the American Heritage tartan, too – is fine. And so are kilt hose, shoes and your Argyle. I would go for a standard dress shirt, myself, but I guess the button-down collar should not be that much out of place.

I do have more reservations to your "red" To my opinion bright red shouldn’t go well with the maroon color of your kilt. Accordingly your red should be maroon – to my taste. I would prefer a tie over a bow.

What would you be wearing, if you didn't have a kilt?
If I did not have a kilt I would probably be wearing a rental tuxedo with a red bow tie and red cummerbund or waist coat.

I will have to put everything together and see what the red looks like with the kilts. Perhaps a black bow tie or one in a maroon that matches the color in the tartan would be a better choice.

The finance director (aka the Wife) just informed me that she would likely be spending > $200 on some jewelry for the affair and gave the thumbs up for a dress sporran. I will likely go with http://www.usakilts.com/black-bovine...ran-14286.html
