Approriateness of Linen Suit
Have to attend an indoor, night wedding reception in June at an upscale, “classically modern” reception hall, where black tie is not required. Would it be appropriate to wear a blue/grey linen suit with no tie? Or should I go a bit more formal than that? What do you all think? Thanks!

What is the wedding's dress code?
Is "blue/gray" a solid color, or a pattern?
Bring a tie and take it off if you feel overdressed
@GSH haven’t received the invite yet, only the save the date but don’t anticipate that it will be black tie.
@sorrynodice it is solid.
Is it common to wear a linen suit to an indoor night summer wedding. I know it would be fine for an outdoor day event but not certain for nighttime indoor one.
we can't really answer your question until we know the dress code for the wedding. if you need to know before you get your invite you could always reach out to the wedding party for advice
assuming it's cocktail/semiformal then a blue or gray linen suit sounds fine, but, as sorrynodice recommends, I would wear a tie and take it off if you're overdressed rather than risk being underdressed
Yeah, my default assumption for weddings is "coat and tie". Not that I've been to a wedding in awhile...
