    I'm a hopeful Gemma bride- I'm leaning towards Jimmy Choo's India mirrored slingback sandals (in silver) for my shoes. Not sure about the jewelry. Probably going with long earrings and a bracelet vs. a necklace. Also, since I'm getting Gemma without the blizzard beading, I'll probably attach a brooch at the skirt seam.

    @shoegal_622: I don't I will wear the sash! I wasn't even going to buy the sash but the store ordered one anyways (no charge to me). I want to look really long and keep the dress fluid, I feel like belts and sashes can cut the body. I will say though belts and sashes still look beautiful!

    @magz88 I think you're right about sashes cutting the body, I was actually really concerned about Gemma to begin with because I'm petite and was worried the mermaid skirt would cut me into sections- it doesn't, but I think adding a sash on my frame would. I personally need to cheat a bit to look longer/leaner, but some lucky ladies can really pull them off though and I love seeing those looks!

    I just got these awesome Louboutins at Neimans and I cannot for the life of me find a picture on the internet. They are the Shelley style

    And I am wearing the blizzard beaded sash. I like how it looks with the dress and it's so subtle that I don't think it really cuts the body too much.

    I found these satin Badgley Mischkas! I have the blizzard beading and noticed that the jeweled or rough shoes caught on the bottom.

    Shoes have been my biggest dilemma with this ensemble. I bought a pair of white satin Louboutin heels and I plan to strass them with light amethyst or vintage pink Swarovski crystals. Still trying to decide. :)

    @techie: I would LOVE to see your Louboutin's when you're finished with them- I saw your other post where you mentioned you'll be dying them as well as adding the crystals! I'm nowhere near brave enough to do that myself, or at least I don't think I am, but if yours turn out great, a tutorial may just be in order!! :)

    Hello!

    Lovely shoes. I wish I could sport heels. I physically cannot hold up in anything bearing more than a one inch heel. My husband-to-be is just one inch taller than I am. So I have decided to go with comfort and style (being aesthetically proportional to my love) and wear ballet flats!

    I am so excited to do that!

    Thanks for all the responses!  I finally decided on a shoe.  I was unsure since I bought the ivory/blush color, but I decided to get a pair of Louboutins strassed!  So excited!  Still haven't decided on jewelry.

    @shoegal_622:  I am having someone do it.  I am too nervous to do something like that myself, nor do I think I have the patience! =(

    @mjm2012:  I also bought sparkly Jimmy Choos! Mine are gold and have a slingback though. I agree that they are soooo comfortable - that's what sold me on the shoes!

    @hunnyoat:  I'm considering it! My fiance isn't that much taller than I am, and while I've looked at amazing stilettos, I'm still having an incredibly difficult time finding shoes that are "perfect". I guess I'll know them when I see them :)

    I did slightly bolder Jimmy Choos....I always dreamed of blue shoes but couldn't resist these! Any Vera Wang Gemma Brides out there? :  wedding vera wang dress gemma Jimmys

     

    I haven't bought jewelery yet, but I am leaning towards a very small tear drop earring, and a plain sparkly band on my wrist- no necklace.  And I'm not really a big earring type of gal.
