More wedding wear question-hose?

Bumping this thread. I am going to a wedding in February. I haven’t wore hose in years but all the CC talk of hose is making me think I might want to wear them to the wedding. I also see Bloomingdales is having Friends and family and I can save a bit. I’m interested in what Wolford type to order. They call them tights but are they as thick as tights?can any of the control top styles take the place of Spanx style shape wear?
Thanks in advance
