walkerk makes an excellent point here. If I may add to his suggestion, it isn't so much the kilt part of the outfit but the jacket, and, sporran. A kilt can be worn with a t-shirt (or no shirt if you are a fan of those old Lawson's Ads and have the abs for it) on to the most formal of attire.

If it is your wedding, or you are in the wedding likely a Prince Charlie jacket, matching waistcoat, and a fur dress sporran will be called for. This is the scottish version of a tuxedo. If you are the sort of fellow who attends fancy dress events on a fairly regular basis then going for the whole outfit makes sense. If you will never be getting this formal again it doesn't make sense for you to spend as much on these items as you did on your kilt and have them sit in your closet.

You can rent just the jacket, waistcoat, and sporran.

Alternately you can look at a black argyle style jacket and vest that can be dressed up or down and you are likely to get a lot more use from.
