A VERY important question:
Budget for wedding kilt?
Budget for "games" kilt?
For the second, a cheaper option, like a USA Kilt, SportKilt, or Stillwater might be fine (each importantly different than the others).
For a more "durable" option, I'd SERIOUS consider one of Matt Newsome's box pleats. It actually would solve BOTH in one. (Matt is curator of the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, NC and can be contacted there VERY easily.
WARNING: most have more than one kilt, a few here have over 50. Yet, one kilt can also be enough, as some here are PERFECTLY happy with one really nice, well-made one.
As for constriction, a kilt is 4 to 8 or more yards of material in length pleated around a waist/hip MUCH smaller. The problem is more of strong winds BLOWING a lighter kilt up, exposing the answer to "The Question."
There is NO restriction, except being conscious of keeping from exposing one's "modesty."
