Shoes....

[Moon.Dust.]

Ok. I love shoes.
No wait.... I LOVE SHOES So unlike most brides who have a hard time finding The Dress, I agonize over the shoes.
Which is funny since it's at the beach so for the ceremony itself I will be barefoot. But for the wedding pics BEFORE... oh I will wear pretty pretty shoes. I've lined up a few that I like... I'd really like to read other's thoughts.

the hem will be shortened since I'm short and this length will not work at my height and we're adding lace cap sleeves 'cause I don't like my arms.

I picked number 4, but I think for a beach wedding maybe something strappy?

I thought about that, but couldn't find any strappy sandals I liked, so I opted for shoes that would look good with the dress that I liked.

those ARE cute! But I prefer a higher heel.

[WebLady]

I think I like #4 and #7 :)

I think I like #4 and #7 :)
I like the linen-y look of #7

[f77g4]

I voted for #4 but what about something with a splash of color?

[Ginger]

I married on the beach and wore no shoes for the ceremony, and shoes similar to #5 in teal at our dinner (we eloped, so it was just DH and me). I lurve them and have worn them post-wedding.

My advice: get something you would dye and wear again later (like #4!)

[mitch]

I'd go for #4. Strappy will look nice.

BTW i adore the dress. :)

In this I'm going traditional white shoe ... I don't know what or why, but it's what I'm gravitating towards.

That's why I'm trying to stay away from those dyeables... not too big of a fan. Though I do see that the newer styles are a vast improvement.

Thank you!
There’ll be some adjustments of course, but I love knowing -and being the daughter- of someone who knows how to sew well, so I can get something I adore at a faction of the price.

[Ginger]

Wow - dyeables were SO out before, but the ones I have are gorgeous. You would never know they were dyed. I mean - when you get satin shoes at Nordstrom, you think they're not dyed the same way?

[WBandMe]

I said 4 because it's got some pizzazz and the front of the shoe kind of matches the middle section of the dress. I did like number two, too.

[RosieAngel]

I like 5, but my shoes looked a lot like 5, so I'm probably biased, LOL!

[TonyaP]

I like 4, 7 and 8.

[TonyaP]

You can re-dye dyeable shoes. My mom owns a shoe store and they do it for people all the time. A lot of bridesmaids dye their shoes black after.

[Micah's bride]

I LOVE #4. I also love your dress, it's beautiful!!

I don’t usually go for satin shoe. That may be what’s throwing me off of dyeables. I don’t know, but I agree that the sty;es now are SO much nicer than what they used to be. It’s worth looking into.

It seems to be the shoe everyone likes.

I like the old fashioned open-toe look and with the dress being tea/knee length I thought it would be a good look.

It’s something to look into.

[uhmanduh728]

i picked number 8 i love the little peep toe and the sparkle on the toe :) sorry i forgot to mention that before with my love of cheetah shoes ha ha :chimp:

[Moon.Dust.]

I DO love that about #8

[gwenshack]

I like number 7. If I was able to wear heels (my feet suck), I'd wear those in a heartbeat. :)

[caligal85]

I chose four because my dress is similar (i'm having mine shortened) and those shoes are almost exactly what I want.

[neebelung]

Hmmm, lots of pretty ones, but #7 stands out for me. They don't scream "wedding," they're just modern and sexy, and definitely something you would wear again and again.

[Kay]

#7 or #8 ~ #7 has a great "wear with jeans" appeal for after the wedding is over wearing and #8 has a nice look to them! :)

[SarahPearl]

#4 is really pretty..I would wear those for sure :grinhappy:

[Docsgirl]

I really love #7. :D

[acidcookie]

Ok I admit I voted to give a new option. For a beach wedding in the spring with that super cute dress I imagine something fresher, like:

These are just from the bridal section at Zappos. Didn't look at non-bridal.

[Moon.Dust.]

Thank you!
But here's the thing... I'm not a huge fan of the strappy stuff. I'm kind of amazed I even gravitated towards #4.

[MrsDM]

I voted for four and seven. Four I love, totally a classic style. Seven I love too, but only if it was a peep toe.

[Moon.Dust.]

7 is a peep-toe
