Trouser suit as wedding guest.

I've a wedding to go to in March next year. I've done the last three summer weddings with a dress. I'd really like to do a trouser suit or trousers and top and maybe blazer.

Main problem is long legs. I've 36 inch legs. And not many places cater to that.
I can buy a whole lot of trousers from long tall Sally, but the matching blazers are too big.

Sooo I love this blazer/jacket https://www.freemans.com/products/bonprix-gold-jacquard-coat/_/A-979422_12?utm_source=GoogleProductList&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=Womens_CoatsAndJackets_Coats&utm_content=979422&ns_campaign=Womens_CoatsAndJackets_Coats&ns_mchannel=PLA&ns_source=GoogleProductList&ns_linkname=979422&ns_fee=0&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvpy5BhDTARIsAHSilyl648oSJy65Tdiy401D-nOvN5Rk3um6DXPl32_gedbYrEASIBdXl9waAlzLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

What can I maybe put with it as in top and what colour trousers? Would a gold top be too much?

I am 5ft6, I'm a size 16, I have a large chest, I'm not keen on sleeves, I can do short sleeves, I cannot do long sleeves or floaty sleeves or embellished or two thirds or half sleeves.

Money not a huge issue here but also there is a limit, I'll go with £500 for the whole lot including shoes as I'm not going to have the right shoes. I live in boots and trainers.

Heres long tall Sally trousers if it helps, or if you know somewhere else that does long, let me know.

It's got a navy base, so I'd go with navy trousers. Can't help you with where, as I buy men's trousers for the pockets.

I think gold would work if you got the gold to match. I tend to think of gold tops as brighter and a bit more yellow-toned than the gold decorations here, and that might not work well.
