Steve Ashton advocates for casual wear any color shirt closely matched to the color of the hose will go well with a kilt of any tartan despite its colors. My waistcoat and hose matching is a more formal variation of this.

I get by quite well wearing pipers hose for any occasion. For now I have three waistcoats, black, light gray and claret. There are pipers hose to match each. The only issue I have is yellow hose to match my yellow silk waistcoat long in the works.

I am dispensing with the waistcoat as the temps are forecast here to be 90F (32C) and humid and the ceremony is out of doors.

I appreciate all the comments - so much to consider.
