Do not wear slip-ons with a suit ever. Slip-on shoes may go with a sportcoat, but never a suit.
If you are wearing a more casual suit, and want casual shoes to go with it, wear derbys (bluchers, whatever - the ones where the lace plackets aren't stitched down at the base of the tongue that usually get called "oxfords" but aren't). Brogues/wingtips in the country, but not in the city, whether they are derbys or oxfords.
If the suit is actually linen, and you wear no tie, I might be OK with mocs of some sort if they are worn with the definite intent to dress improperly and thereby adopt the rakish air of a third-world plantation owner. But if you show up at any sort of formal wedding without a tie someone should probably slap you.

Thanks. Sorry about repeating a post, but I'm not sure how to access the old ones. Apropos of your last sentence, I have a friend who only wears ties to NICER weddings. For example, if a wedding is less "classy" or if the bride has less money than what he is used to, he'll throw on a black Boss suit sans tie. He's an asshole. "Your wedding isn't tie-worthy you silly middle-class wench."
