Lovely choices there!
As per Jock Scot's advice, for sure when I look back over vintage photos of weddings in Scotland the men are in Day Dress.
Note they're wearing the ubiquitous brown leather Day sporrans. The concept of "semi-dress" sporrans didn't arrive until the 1970s.
I note that in 1910 this author calls his outfit with tweed jacket, plain hose, ordinary brogues, and plain brown leather sporran "Morning Dress" which well fits into the wedding photos Jock posted above.
It wasn't until around World War One that bowties and spats ceased to be worn with men's informal Highland Dress. He's also wearing the high shirt collar of those times. Other than the shirt, tie, and spats Day Dress hasn't changed much over the last century.
