    Need help deciding on my outfit

    Hi everyone,

    I have just commissioned my first kilt in my family tartan that i will be wearing to my sisters wedding in a couple of weeks!
    I have just moved from Scotland to the East Coast of America so wearing a kilt amongst all these americans will turn a few heads...Hopefully!

    Now i am looking to try and keep my outfit light and breathable because where i will be for the wedding the temperature is usually around 30c. Toasty!
    Because of this i really don't want to be wearing a jacket or a waist coat so my question is, is it ok for me to wear a white shirt with my tartan tie? I have read that a lot of people don't like to see people wearing a tie that is the same tartan as the kilt.
    I dont have a lot of money either which brings me to my next question, are sporrans necessary?
    If no sporran a Belt is probably required?

    I have nothing in my hands yet, the kilt, flashes & tie will be delivered to me a few days before the wedding (bad at planning!) so i still need to get shoes, shirt and belt (if required). A wee dagger might have to be bought too.

    If you have any suggestions of my predicaments that would be awesome!

    Please see the link below for the ties, flashes and pocket thing-a-ma-bob.

    Thanks!!

    Rory
