Men's options for wedding apparel are largely limited to cotton suits. An outdoor wedding puts a few more realistic options on the table, including linen. But, if you've never purchased linen before, buyer beware. No matter how professional you suit has been cleaned, it will wrinkle quickly. So, if you prefer the buttoned up professional look, you should probably stick with cotton. But, if you're more adventurous, and headed to an outdoor wedding, this could be the perfect opportunity to give linen a try.
