    If I may chip in here. The morning coat (top hat,tails etc.) is the equivalent to the black, silver buttoned argyll. Now if all/most of the guests are wearing morning suits, or, uniforms, then it is correct to wear the black,silver buttoned argyll too, although the tweed argyll will be seen too and no one will bat an eye at that. However if only the groom and say the best man(maybe immediate family too) are wearing a morning suits(Black argyll,silver buttons) then the guests would wear tweed. Again no one would bat an eye if you turned up with a black,silver buttoned argyll though.

    It would be quite wrong to wear a tweed argyll,or,argyll of any description, dress shirt (UK definition) and bow tie, during the day. Is all this so all fired important? Well, in reality no, but it is nice to know what to do, if you feel you want to conform!
