Tall girls help- wedding guest wear!!

[Howdidthathappen1]

So I've got a wedding to go to in April and stressing already! I don't go out anywhere so have no occasionally wear at all.
My difficulty in researching so far is less the dress but the footwear as I'm 6 foot tall and occasion wear all seems to need heels - had no issue wearing heels when younger but just don't feel comfortable now - it's trainers / dms all the way.
I'm late forties and size 12 and my usual style is quite plain - I like cos and some all saints (sales or eBay!).
If anyone can help with suggestions I'd be very grateful!!

Do you need completely flat or can you do a block or kitten heel. Does a strap help?

I don’t do heels any longer and I am also going to a wedding this year. I have bought shoes from Charles and Keith which are not leather so not expensive but suit my style (and possibly yours from the brands you mention).

I have bought these which are about the best I can manage but they have quite a lot of options so worth a browse.

Oh I've never heard of them and there is definitely potential there. Thank you!!

You don't need to wear heels these days. I never do. Ever! And I go to some ridiculously high falutin places. It is absolutely fine. I'm not as tall as you, only 5'10, but yes never liked the towering over people feeling.

I wear brogues, trainers, biker boots. So long as it looks deliberate anything can work. Last year I walked the red carpet in a pair of sock trainers I bought from The Factory Shop for £6, which was hilarious (and comfy).

Thanks. I've got the trainers or dms with dresses sorted it's just smarter I'm unsure! Not sure I can get away with trainers to a wedding - tho if I find a maxi dress to hide them....!!??

What about smart pointy flats? I really really would not wear trainers to a wedding!

I have nice pointy toe flats from Zara who also usually have some quite stylish low heels. For a wedding I’d probably do a low heel unless flats with a maxi.

ASOS also has millions of low heels: I have some lovely velvet sling backs with kitten heels, which I’m not normally a fan of but they look like proper fancy shoes without the height

No don't hide them. Wear what ever you are wearing on purpose and without apology and it will be fine.

Or Topshop

Do you need to wear a dress? At a wedding I went to last year there was a tall lady wearing a smart jumpsuit with flats and she looked stunning.

Definitely open to a jump suit - I've only ever tried one on and it was so far out of my usual I couldn't feel comfortable. I really like them though

I'm 5'11" and I don't wear heals any more. I used to only wear them for weddings and formal things - but I just never felt comfortable in them, so I gave myself permission to wear flats. I think it's more common these days.

Something with a slightly pointed toe looks smarter I think. I've got some nice leather ones from Toms but I can't see them anymore on the website.. Boden have got some nice looking ones though.
