I wore the spanx thigh high stockings. Its actually what I normally wear when dressed up. They are really comfy and stay up nicely. And not only do I feel sort of strangled in actual pantyhose - didn't want to have to deal with both pantyhose and the dress in the ladies room if you know what I mean.
I hate all hose/stockings, so since I'm wearing a long dress...definitely not! Maybe spanx but not the full on stockings.
I hate hose. thigh highs may be it.. or spanx if I need some sucking in. definitely not full on hose though!!
There was just a thing in Miss Manners today about how horribly gauche it is to not wear stockings to an event that is even the slightest bit formal (even if you're wearing open-toed shoes!).
I couldn't disagree more and would never wear stockings with open-toed shoes and didn't wear them at my wedding.

@ ljlkclark
I totally agree.. I'm wearing open toed shoes and I just thought about wearing hose with them.. NO WAY!!!
I think Miss Manners needs to get with the times. It is no longer considered inappropriate to wear a skirt to a formal occassion w/o some sort of hose. And wearing pantyhose with open-toed shoes? Eww!
NOOOO, hate them, didn't wear them. The only reason you might want them is to smooth out the tone of your legs for photos.
I chose not to wear them for several reasons:
1) August wedding. Ballgown. Nylons = extra layer = HOT and SWEATY.
2) Ballgown. Petticoat. Nylons = extra layer = hard to get put back together after using the bathroom.
3) And they'd have looked weird with my open-toed shoes.
no nylons for me. it was a long dress, so why bother?! no one knew the difference. :)
I wore slightly sparkly nylons at my wedding - it helped make things feel more formal for me. My shoes were closed-toe, though... don't think I would have done it if they were open-toe.
To be real, I got control-top hose because this little bride did a lot of eating with family and friends in the days leading up to the wedding... but I suppose Spanx would have done the same job.
Ugh. Pantyhose are a tool of the Devil, I swear. Haven't worn them in years and never intend to ever again if I can help it. The closest thing to them I put on my body are thick tights in the winter, and that's not exactly wedding-y.
Do not ever, EVER wear stockings with open-toed shoes. That's just horrifying.
FYI, if you are considering wearing stockings because you want a control-top type of thing, but don't care so much for the actual stocking part, Spanx makes several products that are not full-length.

Just interested to see how many ladies are planning on or did wear nylons/stocking/hosiery for their big day.
I'm debating. I don't wear them normally with skirts or dresses... Pros? Cons? Thoughts? Feelings?
