If it is a church wedding, then a jacket and tie are pretty much mandatory. Outside on the beach, in a park, or on a ride at Disneyland then you can probably forgo the jacket and tie. I would give the ghillie/jacobite shirt a wide miss-- far too costumey to be worn as a guest at a wedding.
Thinking this through, if the wedding and reception are indoors you will be sitting in air conditioned rooms, so the jacket and tie shouldn't be that uncomfortable, especially if you forgo the waistcoat.

Based on the little information you have given I would go in smart day wear with a tie, tweed jacket, and brown leather accessories.
If a neck tie would be too much, and don't have a tweed jacket, then how about the Argyll jacket with a turtleneck and no waist coat?
It is a smart look but not overly formal

This would be for me. But how casual is casual? It is a wee tad tricky to advise as "my" casual may not be "your" idea of casual.

Dressing for the Tropics...
Given our subtropical clime here in South Georgia, I can highly recommend a waistcoat with oxford shirt, sans tie, with everything below the waist as traditional as you please excepting ghillies versus normal dress shoes. Or if it's on the beach- sandals? Something to think about anyway...
Here's an example (my wee brother, who looks better in a kilt than I do):
