Hi, gg!
Am I correct in assuming you'll have some flowers that you're carrying? If so, I'd just make sure to have them with you and kind of raise the bouquet when he leans in for a hug. He surely won't squish the flowers.
I suppose I wouldn't say anything before the wedding, but if he happens to catch you again, maybe you should bring it up before the next family function. Then, you can say something about how he hugged you at the wedding and it'll be fresh in his memory. (If you have his email, I'd use it. No sense it making this any more difficult for you than it already is and face-to-face or even phone might be kind of awkward.)
Sorry. Creepy uncle hugs are the worst. :(
