In my real world experience at weddings around here, outdoors or otherwise, you are pretty unlikely to see jackets or ties of any kind on the guests anyway.
Points taken re: the climate and local custom, but spats? I personally don't care for the mixing of militaria and kilts in a civilian context, but wouldn't they be rather hot along with the hose tops for the conditions? Why not a pair of Bermuda knee socks ie tropical weight knee socks. The English Sports Store in Hamilton is the only purveyor left I know of since Trimmingham's closed. Available in a plethora of colors, and I'm sure they will ship to Texas.
