Can someone help me with shoes?

Help! I'm a jeans and trainers kind of girl, and just thinking of picking shoes brings me out in a cold sweat! I've got a wedding to go to in Ireland in a few weeks and I've found a dress that's very me but good enough to dress up: shop.protest.eu/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Protest-NL-Site/nl_NL/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductUUID=NG4KA3wMXTIAAAEuDvcCgKBP&CatalogCategoryID=
I'm going to add some jewellery and a pashmina, but am really stuck on the shoes thing. I'd like something not too heeled, but heeled enough that I'd look smart, maybe strappy. But, I just have no idea what I should get. Can any kind shoe knowledgeable people help a shoe-phobe like me?

My fave choice - You cant really go wrong with a nude peep toe. It'll go with everything, lengthen the legs and the platform on the sole will mean they're a bit comfier then straight high heels

Hope these are helpful they're also really cheap. As you dont wear heels much it might be better to keep the cost down

Hope this helps

These would be comfy if ur not sure of heels and also good with a flare or skinny jean after the wedding...

I quite like the peep toe ones, but I know that I'd never manage on a heel that high (the highest I usually go is kitten heels!). I think I'll get looking for something in a kind of nude or brown colour...

Something like this?

Or this?

OOh - those second ones would be perfect! Not too high that I'd feel ridiculous (I should probably have added that I'm also quite tall - 5'10) but high enough to smarten up the dress!
Thanks for your help!
