    Yay my first post!  Just wanted some opinions...the gown I bought is Maggie Sottero's Milana in Champagne w/ light gold over lay.  Do you think red shoes would look good? My thoughts- 1. no one's really gonna see your shoes except BM's and the photographer 2. What color doesn't go with red?!?Kiss

    It's funny you should say this.  I am wearing a dk. red dress and and am considering champagne shoes Laughing.  I am just having the worst time trying to find a pair of shoes that match my dress color.

    @Scottielass:

    Scottie I actually bought a pair of beautiful champagne shoes from DSW shoe warehouse for $40...they were the last size 8's to be found of the model.  Depending on your size you may want to check the website http://www.dsw.com/shoe/kelly+.and.+katie+night+out+satin+slingback?prodId=202500 They are super comfy!

    I would go with a cranberry red, similar to the BCBG Ariels:

    @7SEVENJ9: agreed.  Cranberry and champagne is a delicious pairing color wise!

    I'm wearing a light gold dress with bright royal blue shoes!

    I think any bright color will work!

    Cranberry & Champagne is a delicious drink too.

    Thanks all for the great suggestions on shoe options.

    This is what I had for the first round on shoes.  Love the look.  Kind of surprised myself in choosing something with a small platform.  They are way more comfortable than I expected.  The color is a bit brighter than the dress, though.  Sorry I can't show them on.  I sprained my ankle pretty badly yesterday, and it looks like a black & blue baseball right now.

    Not only does it have a peep toe, but there is a peep heel, too.

    This is a sneek peek on the dress.  Can't show the whole thing.  My mom gets rights on seeing me in it first Wink.  Ignore the bead work (hated that, but loved the color and shape of the dress).  Pulled that off a couple of weeks ago.  Will have white cherry blossoms embroidered on the skirt.

    EDIT-So sorry on the monster picture size Embarassed.  I thought I could resize them.

    I have a champagne dress and I'm wearing burgundy shoes. I like the way they look together and its a lot easier than trying to match the champagne color with shoes!

    I found them!  The flash makes them look much brighter, they're closer to cranberry...
