Kilt-specific stuff you should consider:
Sporran
Hose (the high-socks)
Flashes (hold the socks up)
Non-specific items:
Dress shoes or a nice pair of boots will do fine for your feet.
An off-the rack vest from a department store should be fine, but if you want a jacket, you'll need to look into something kilt-specific, saxon style jackets just look really off with a kilt. If the event is black-tie, you should go with a Prince Charlie (PC) jacket and vest.
Shirt and neck/bow tie to fit your taste/style, but nothing kilt specific.

It all depends on the level of formality of the festivities. Daytime casual wear? Black tie? Daytime formal? At the very least you'll need dress shoes, kilt hose and garters, a sporran (What kind depends on dress code), and shirt and tie. The rest will depend on on formality. Can you provide more info so that we can better help?

I think you should look at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread take a look at the higher photos 4 and up for ideas depending on the formality of the event of course.

This what I wore to a wedding last Summer.

I'm sure that Jock will weight in. I'm not a fan of a Prince Charlie or any other evening jacket for a weddingm unless of course it's in the evening. Those in Saxon (non-Highland) clothes won't be dressed like Fred Astaire, in all probability they will be wearing a Lounge Suit at most. A good tweed jacket (I prefer a waistcoat too) is more in keeping with the level of day-wear formality.
At my daughter's wedding last year.
