What to wear to a wedding?

[Jock Scot]

If it is a formal wedding, in other words the groom and guests might be wearing morning suits for example, then a black barathea, silver buttoned argyll with four in hand tie would be worn. Any other wedding, a tweed argyll on its own, or , with waistcoat is perfect.

Yes - I probably should have said. I have been told he's wearing a morning suit.

I dont plan to own a tweed Argyll at the time of the wedding so this isnt really an option for me... although I'm sure many of you guys like to wear them to these events. I'm desperate to show off my Prince Charlie but I realise it's considered too formal... although I realise many people wear their most formal gear to weddings and some do not.

My cousins weddings coming up and I've got quite a few things that I could wear on the upper half. The thing is - I realise everyones got a difference of opinion of what's suitable for a daytime wedding with a kilt.

Hmmm.

1. I'm opting for the Black Argyll, five button waistcoat & (wool) tie option for the wedding I'm going to shortly.

2. Your cousin's wedding isn't in Troon on Friday, is it? Because if it is, then it sounds like I'll see you there!

There you go: your black Argyll with your new silk tie is ideal. You'll look like a million quid.

It's not too formal Paul---the groom is going formal. It's simply the wrong time of day. The PC is black tie, and black tie is evening wear.

You could spice up your Argyll with diced hose and a silk cravat to match the groom's morning suit. It's not required; and if the other guests/family members are not dolling up to that extent, then it might be considered over the top.

Thanks for good advice!
I think I'll stick with the silk tie... I think it's on a perfect level of formality for the event... I do love my cravat though!
The diced hose are really nice. They go well (but not perfectly) with my kilt... I'll wait for my Argyll cuffs to make a final decision on that and I know what great people on a great forum will aid me on if I'm stuck for a decision on that!

I'll post pictures when I get a chance to try everything on.

I've always been told, if it is being worn by the groom, it is properly referred to as a mourning suit.

Maybe you are right, but I think not! Morning(as in good morning)suit is how the collective knowledge of this house spell it---eight people. Mourning implies a death in the family,on second thoughts, some would regard a wedding as almost the same thing!! That is not how morning suit is spelt in this house anyway!
