What to wear?

Knotties - help!
What do you wear to a spring evening wedding when no specific dress code is listed? I appreciated not being "instructed" how to dress, but I'm not sure if I should dress more formal because it's evening, or if they don't care since they didn't specify anything.
It's at an old mansion type building that has been turned into a venue and museum, if that helps. Ceremony starts at 6, cocktail hour and reception to follow.
Any insight would be appreciated!

    No no, I'm kidding (sort of).

    I'd probably wear a knee-length cocktail dress. A wrap something if it's cold. Heels. Nice jewelry. I might consider wearing something colorful or patterned.

    Based on that venue and the time of day, yes, you should err on the side of more formal.  Cocktail dress for women, suit for men.

    They didn't specify anything, because unless it's black tie, they shouldn't specify. You use the invitation style and venue as a clue. Mansion in the evening equals cocktail dress.

    Sounds like my wedding! Although mine was in the afternoon.

    Cocktail dress, like PPs said.
