Wedding attire help

I like the tweed best. Do you have a white shirt? It might tie the kilt and jacket together without adding another color to the mix.

(I like the hair cut)

exactly! A charcoal grey jacket (some day) would give you loads of versatility, but this combination is a classic. Just perfect for an afternoon event.

Relax, and have fun at the wedding.

Yep, I agreet 100% with Rex. The gunmetal shirt indeed "tempers" it. That with the tartan red make the argyll look less green than it is. I wouldn't change a think either.

I would generally wear what most others are. If you anticipate most of the other men attending as guests will wear white shirts, I would also. Or colored, if they are. Or no shirt and flip flops, etc.

Don't worry about it. I Appreciate you giving your opinion. I considered it, and would wear the prince charlie if the even was going to be more formal. I know that I will look smart in the argyle so thats what I am going to go with.

Here in Italy we are, perhaps, a little less rigid in application of the rules, not only about higland dress, but for every type of dressing.
Here, if the groom (right?) is a close friend you can choose and if you like it you also wear the equivalent of a highlander shirts with or without swordman's or potain's vest, kilt, hose and Ghillie brogue.
If you are the best man, instead it is requested a more formal dress at every moment of the day, so jacket and vest shouold be obliged.

Owing to our way, PC it is almost too much even for marriage (if you're not the groom), because we pay attention to be a less formal and elegant then the groom. For this reason I did not bought a PC, but a different and more informal model of jacket.

Smoking and tight are not so used suits here in Italy, only in really few occasions

Some weeks ago I attended to the marriage of a friend of mine:
I had the kilt, formal shirt, tie, and an italian black jacket (my wallace jacket it is still in Scotland....). I was in the stanadard of elegance of the marriage!.

Ciao!
