UPDATE:
I just spoke with my supervisor. Unsurprisingly, he also chose "C" over the other two options. He didn't say (or react) on seeing the kilt outfit. The leather suit, however, he looked at intently (because it really does look a lot like what everyone else will be wearing -- a black suit) but when I told him it was all-leather, he kinda winced. (But didn't say not to wear it either)...
Anyway, my "which tie to wear" question has been resolved. White. Has to be white. My supervisor reminded me, that the de facto standard in Japan for weddings, graduations and all joyful occasions, is a white necktie. Inlaid/embroidered designs into the white fabric are acceptable (so it's not just a stark white), but I guess I gotta go shopping after work today and pick up a white tie for the ceremony. ith:

I voted for "A", but I have to say is a really cool cardboard box in "C".

White? WHITE? I was more than once advised to avoid white anything because of its funerial associations in Japan- it's the traditional colour of mourning. So it just goes to show that there is no way to get it right on your own there, and to get even close to that one has to seek advice on most everything. Mind you, you get a lot of slack cut for you when you're a gaijin.
But I didn't get a sense of what your final decision is or will be?
