What colour shoes would work best with a cornflower blue dress?

I'm going to a wedding and have bought 2 dresses that I'm choosing from both are Monsoon.
One is pale blue with yellow flowers and have bought some pale butter yellow shoes to wear with it.
The other is a Cornflower blue and not sure what colour shoes to go for.
Any helpful suggestions would be welcome.

This is the plain blue dress.

Silver

I would choose nude or silver. I bought some lovely nude sandals that are dressy but not too high for a wedding called Blaze by Lunar. They were very comfortable.

Nude or silver.

Newforthis26 · 13/08/2026 22:13

Thank you I can see how silver would work

Nude

Dusty pink. Or you could go the other way and have bright egg yolk yellow or pillar box red. With some big jewellery.

Not nude - they're dated. Silver would be fine - but wouldn't the butter yellow ones you've bought also work? I don't think a really bright strong colour would work, as the dress is a soft colour.

Yellow

The butter yellow ones might work, do you have a picture of them? Otherwise silver or an off white, or red if you want to be bolder.

These are the shoes but the pictures aren't the exact colour as I'm not at home where they are. They're most like the lighter colour picture but warmer.
I know this may sound odd but I was wondering about a bright pink cerise kind of colour if I had a bag or big flower for my hair?

I think you need a more dainty shoe for that dress. Pink cerise would definitely work if you matched it to your other accessories.

I would opt for a dusty rose shoe/bag combo.

user1492757084 · 14/08/2026 03:49

Silver pointed slingbacks.
Love that dress.

SomaTaim · 14/08/2026 04:27

Gold or silver. Lovely dress.

EleanorMc67 · 14/08/2026 17:13

From the picture of the yellow shoes that the OP has already posted, I don't think that satin stilettos with bows would be quite her thing - or go with the blue dress? (Though I could be wrong re the OP's taste/style).

Peep toes are around at the moment, & would IMO suit that dress style better than the currently rather ubiquitous kitten heel/slingback.

These are all Anonymous Copenhagen, which are on the pricier side - though the last silver pair is well-reduced at Oliver Bonas. You might also get lucky on Vinted/eBay, OP - this brand makes really comfy footwear.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me and I'm inspired by some colour suggestions.
Satin isn't really my thing to be honest and I absolutely love the dress. I've recently dropped a couple of dress sizes and it feels good.
Some of the Anonymous Copenhagen ones look good and comfy but are unfortunately out of my price range.
I've been looking on vinted but nothing seems quite right.
Feeling like I might end up barefoot (although jokes aside that would be more me!)

If you do an image search on one of the pairs of Anonymous Copenhagen ones that you like, & keep going down the results, it should eventually bring up similar (ish) things?

For instance, these pink peep toes which are much cheaper?
