Seasonal clothing for Fall Mexico City Wedding

Folks, I've just overhauled my suiting wardrobe. I usually just wear standard four season weight woolen suits and cotton shirts, which require little thought. But for the first time I've got two seasonal pickups and I need tips.

The first is a heavier flannel-ish vintage Golden Fleece Brooks Brothers checked brown suit. It looks great. But also, trying it on inside, it's so warm! Makes me sweat. The wedding is outside — could I wear it in 55-75 degree weather? It looks like it'll be 65 mostly outside. Chilly is what I've heard from people there now.

And then after that, on the other side, I bought a 50/50ish cotton/linen blend white dress shirt from Spier and Mackay. It's surprisingly soft, not wrinkly, and honestly I wouldn't notice that it's linen. Because it's new and seems comfortable, I'm inclined to wear it because it's new, but my mind thinks that you'd never wear linen with Fall/Winter suits. But I never considered whether a blend could be worn.

TLDR:
Two qs:
Flannel suit, too warm for October in Mexico City wedding?
Can a 50/50 cotton/linen blend shirt go with a Fall/Winter suit? Link to that here: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/white-twill-linen-cotton-dress-shirt-ry-3452-2c2f5k

Sorry if silly questions! I've just surprisingly never had seasonal clothing items of these two styles.

To me it sounds like the suit will be too warm. You'll be around people, moving, hopefully dancing. I think it might need to wait until late fall/winter.
