HELP! Orange wedding shoes or other awesome options

I am hopeless - I'm getting married abroad in 7 weeks and have been so stressed out at work that I'm barely holding it together: I missed a spelling error on the proof of my $25/each invite (and I'm an English teacher, go figure), I barely got my marriage Visa application sent on time because I couldn't find the "missing link" on the website (it just happened to be down the two weeks I spent frantically searching for it and making ridiculous long distance phone calls in hopes of finding it), 19 out of 23 girls declined the bachelorette (of the 4 who accepted, 2 are wives of my H2B whom I barely know), and I can't find wedding shoes, which I desperately need so I can get my dress altered!!

Please help - here is my dress:

My colors are yellow and orange (I need to come up with a better way of stating them, perhaps "daffodil and clementine" lol) and I would love a pair of kick ass shoes in one of those colors, preferably orange. I've looked at every shoe online - I've been to the end of the internet and back - but I realize that I haven't been down every avenue (I've looked at Nina's DYO, all of the big designers, etc).

I'm not opposed to a fab shade of dark grey or even black (I would love a pair of Christian Louboutin's with black feathers and my H2B said go for it but I'm not going to spend that much money). I'd like to keep my shoes under $400.00 - the lower, the better but I want quality and comfort.

Can anyone help me?

My best friend is getting married in august, and really wanted orange shoes too! I talked her into buying these:

She loves them! They are from Nordstrom, and are Glint's Addison peep toed pumps. I don't think they're on the website anymore, but I think they still exist in the stores, so if you go in, you could ask if they have them in orange in your size anywhere in the company. Good luck!

I have the same colors as you! High Five for bright! Mine are, ahem, "daffodil and sunrise." hehe

I had the same problem as you with the shoes (still having it actually). I have looked all over the internet and in tons of stores including Macy's, BCBG, Nordstroms, etc. I am going shoe shopping one last time this weekend, and if I can't find anything suitable I am going to get these:

Cute Shoes

I love them! The only thing holding me back is that my fiance and I are the same height almost exactly, he is 2cm taller than me. I don't want to be taller than him. These have a kitten heal so I think it would work with him in his dress shoes.

Good luck! I hope you find something!!

Our colors are charcoal gray and "tangerine and mango"...summery oranges as all you ladies are mentioning!

I wanted orange shoes and our wedding will be taking place where there is lots of cobblestone so I needed either a wedge or a chunky heel.  I found these beauties at Nordstrom!!  for under $300!  You may not find them on display in the store so you might want to call Nordstroms in your area or even around the country (they might ship?!?) and ask.  The brand is KATE by Ferrari and the style is KATE1600.

 Don't know if they will work for you, but my search was long and extensive so I'll happily pass on the information.
