Summertime Wedding in Greece. Looking for fabric suggestions.

I have been invited to a wedding in Greece likely in Aug/Sept. I'm looking for suit fabric suggestions as an alternate to linen but that still has the less formal beach wedding look. Specific fabric manufacturers and types would be appreciated.

I am fair skinned with a bit of a pink tone, light brown hair blue eyed. My day to day suits I usually stay safe with blues and grays but I would like to get a bit more adventurous with this one but not sure which colors or color patterns compliment my complexion. I was thinking light brown or olive tones??

Thanks!

High twist wool comes to mind
For a more casual look, would avoid the 'suitier' ones like Fresco.

What about Standeven Explorer? Very dry hand and holds a crease well.

They have a Solaro-like fabric here:

Or these two tan/fawn colors

or a light grey

Loro Piana has a lot of nice wool/silk/linen (mostly wool) blends for summer. Many are in patterns more suitable for jackets, but not all.
