    Hi Bees,

    After some online searching I've found a couple of shoe options which might go well with my dress, and was hoping I could get your imput. :-) Sorry about all the big photos!

    Shoe 3: Yeah, that's a bit of a painful price...but is it worth it?

    I didn't vote. here is my 2 cents.

    I really like #3 and the sparkle they would add to your dress.  I love that the sparkle is in the back of the shoe so it's not so in your face as with #4. However I don't think it's worth the price.  If it were me I would either look for a similar shoe at a better price or I would buy plain, comfortable peeptoe pumps and some sparkly appliques, (they sell them on sewing websites), and carefully hot glue them on to achieve the same look for less.

    #1 would be my second choice.

    I think any of the shoes "go" with your dress. My favourite is #4 but I think thats a lot of money to spend considering that isnt a shoe I think you would get a lot of use out of post wedding.

    i say take the plunge and go for number 4! since your feel will be seen at all times might as well have amazing shoes to match the dress

    All great choices!!!  I agree with shel_lee_1 about spending the extra on shoes since you have a beautiful dress that is not floor length.  Number 4 is gorgeous!  Like Meowkers, I think #1 would be my second choice.

    I don't like #1 at all. 4 is my favorite, but I also like #3 a lot and #2 would work good as well, I just like 3 & 4 better.

    Are you set on a pump? I wonder if a strappy sparkly sandal would work. Something like this maybe?

    I like those shoes too but I would consider other options. All of the shoes I liked were $300+ which just was not going to happen, but I found a pair of light Ivory pumps for $58 and beautiful shoe clips I am ordering this week for $50 so a total of $108 holy savings. I think they are going to turn out great

    I like all 4 pairs you have chosen, but I'm not sure that they match the flowy feel of your dress?  What about something that matches the flower or the bottom more?  Or even if you could find a sexy strappy sandal..[Poll] Which shoes go with my dress?

    I love the 2nd pair with your dress...the color goes perfect with the flower detail!!  And they cost less than most of your other choices!

    I really like shoe #2, it is one of my top choices. My dress has ruffles as well so I been debating whether it will match.

    I love love love the Badgly Mischka's posted by lia22, but the $200 price tag is a little steep, although the softness of the shoe is perfect for your dress. 

    If you would like grey/siver or champagne, here is another option that is really similar to the mischka, but only $50 from DSW

    I voted for 3. Your dress is so busy with all those layers that you need a simple shoe. One that won't be fighting for attention. Actually I think just a plain white would be best. But I do loove that shoe! And I really like number 4, but not with your dress because I think they would be fighting each other instead of complimenting. It's like make-up, if you play up your eyes, then don't play up your lips too!

    btw, you look stunning in that dress! If you had plain shoes the same color of the flowers on it, it'd be killer!

    @Au Jardin:  awesome dress!  Im a shoe freak so if I bought a dress like that I'd be scouring the tri state looking for something outrageous. 

    Back to the point...

    I have shoe #4 so I voted for them =)  I do think that no matter what you choose the detail should be in the front of the shoe more than the back.  Yes people will still see the back of your shoe but with that dress, shoes should pop.  Whether its subtle-y or more out there is up to you.

     

    If your really into sparkle you could go this route:

    I selected other, but I think No 4 would go best.  Why I selected other is because if you want to go for something cheaper like you gave the impression, I think you could find something, or even buy a pair of plain shoes and get some shoe-brooch to clip on the front.  There's an amazing choice on etsy  for you to have a look.

    Thanks ladies for all the help. Seriously I've been stalking shoes online non-stop, as I haven't found any that have really inspired me. I decided my hair will probably have a flower in it, so I don't want my shoes to have a flower - I think these would go nicely in keeping with the garden theme:

    I hear that Hey Lady shoes are really comfortable, which is important because I always have a problem with heels digging into my skin. What do you ladies think? Has anyone gotten this brand before?

    I think shoe two would compliment the ruffles in your dress and the color would be a cute contrast and color pop!  I love all the shoes!

    shoe number 4! before looking at your dress I would have voted for number 3 but since you're shoes are not going to be concealed under your dress, I'd go for number 4 bc of the detail in the front.

    I really love the last shoes you posted, but I would say that my wedding planner's #1 piece of advice was "No peeptoes."  If you're worried about comfort, maybe a regular toe instead?

    Occhiblu, out of curiosity why did she recommend no peep toe?

    @Au Jardin:  Just because new peep-toes tend to cut into one's feet, at least for most people, and she hated when brides changed into flip-flops.
