Hi there, Hislander, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
Since nobody seems to have chipped in with any advice for your wedding, let me put my boot in (having worn kilts in the army, but never to a wedding!).
Since the occasion is informal, you need not get excited about anything fancy. All you need is a shirt – preferably in a colour that does not clash with the kilt, and perhaps in a colour that matches it. (You could also pick a colour that highlights the kilt without matching it.)
That is to say, it can be white, black, or any shade in between.
It can be what you folk across the Atlantic call a dress shirt, or it can be as casual as a golf shirt or a T-shirt, all depending on what your bride feels is smart enough.
You can wear a tie, or not.
If you wear a jacket, make sure it is short enough not to hinder your access to the sporran. (I suggest that you only wear one if the weather demands it.)
Will your little boy be carrying the rings?
Regards,
Mike

Hislander, welcome from across town! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You must be very proud to have a son who'll be kilted!

Very proud to have my son kilted, even more proud that he's excited to wear it with me! He will be carrying the rings, by not as a ring bearer, he'll be my junior best man, and m fiancés daughter will be her junior maid of honor! Needless to say were very excited about the event, I'm also researching traditional Scottish wedding traditions as well, so any cool advice or suggestions from the forum are welcome. I don't know about the accuracy of the event, but in braveheart (I know, not super accurate in most regards for true history) when they marry at the beginning of the movie they wrap the linen around their wrists, we like that idea, and the idea of kissing the rings on the sword held by the officiant... Again, any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
