Wedding outfit-horrible legs!

OK hope some of you can help! Got a wedding second week in May. All day event and reception/evening for a family member.
Hoping weather will be ok!

So I want to get a dress, but will have to be maxi,as I've got horrible varicose veins low down on one leg. Lumpy veins on same foot also which are even worse. This means even strappy shoes are an issue.

I've ordered a few days dresses, but even maxi often aren't that long and horrid leg visible. Then full length is so long it's a trip hazard!!
I've found some great dresses but I feel uncomfortable because of my legs(leg).
Shoes I will prob look at mules with a bit of coverage!

I know many people will say who cares?! Show your legs but that's a no go!
I'm slim 5ft 4 size 8 to 10. Can wear anything figure wise just full coverage!!!

What about that sally hansen spray on tights stuff? It's lik make up for legs!

The Ted Baker jumpsuit is lovely, but maybe a bit more than I'd like to spend.
I do use Sally hansen and that will be another tool to use on the day!

But there’s nothing more depressing, style-wise, than ‘tan coloured’ tights!

(Particularly if one doesn’t possess tan coloured legs …)

They do many colours these days so you can get a decent match.

Tan/nude tights aren't exciting style-wise but they are useful and fulfill a purpose. They don't have to be ugly orangey brown American Tan Support Tights.

The Princess of Wales wears tan tights on almost all of her public appearances, as do all of the other Royal Women and a huge number of glamorous celebrities on stage or on the red carpet. Not exciting but if you want to wear a dress without showing veins there are limited options.

I love the ted baker jumpsuit I know it's expensive but so gorgeous!

Both the Debenhams ones are nice too! Though trying on a couple of the ones I've ordered they are a similar length so think I'm maybe overthinking!!

A pink or green trouser suit?
