Coral high heeled shoes? Anyone seen any?

I have a wedding coming up YAWN! After much searching I settled on a navy lace shift type dress from monsoon fusion range. I can't do links I'm afraid, But it's the Elise dress if you want to look. I had originally wanted a bright dress, but as I have ended up with this navy dress, I want to brighten it up with coral shoes and bag, but I don't seem to be able to find any that I like. I don't mind a wedge, but they all seem not to look smart enough, with a wicker style.i also like a strap around the ankle, but am not that fussy, I will just know when I find them. Quite like shoe boot type things to funk it up. But any ideas gratefully appreciated. Please help me. I could do with not spending too much, but would pay a bit ,ore if really perfect. So the cheaper the better, but bring me ideas... Please.

don't know if sandals are any good, but got these from Mango in suede coral and they are beautiful shop.mango.com/GB/p/mango/shoes/sandals--pumps/asymmetric-sandal/?id=63622033_02

Yeah, they are lovely. Right heel height too. At the mo I can only look at the side view. Think my iPads playing up? Thanks, will try have a proper look later. Didn't know mango do such fab shoes. Only have a concession where I live.
Thanks.

yes I was surprised too, as I never shop in Mango, but wandered in and they caught my eye immediately. they are maybe a bit more pinky, but feel secure and pretty comfy with the platform and strap across the foot. am really impressed with the quality and that they are real suede for £40! Grin

It's a fab dress, this one, right? Lot of great shoes here already, but I just wanted to ask if you're absolutely set on matching bag and shoes. 'cause, well, IMVHO it's pretty dated.

Navy dress, coral shoes and a turquoise bag would be fab. Maybe this? Can't find the one I was thinking of just now - but yellow , or white would be good too. Maybe even orange, depending on the shade of the shoes.

KisMittzAteALLThePies · 20/05/2012 20:13

The Orange of that bag is gorgeous Lettuce Smile

LettuceLaughton · 20/05/2012 20:17

Yeah, the orange is the best of the bunch by far as far. Love the shade. It'd be grand if the shoes are pinky coral but risks looking like a failed match if they're, well, orangey coral.

Spookey80 · 20/05/2012 22:04

Mrs lettuce thankyou, yes right dress, i am going to wear the tie bit at the top on a kind of bow tho, i have slightly adapted it.
you have really given me some food for thought. I think you are right matching is dated. And will prob look a bit naff. Do you think coral is the right choice for shoes? It's funny I am not a matchy person at all in rl, but as I don't go to weddings that often, I just assumed that was what I had to do?! I actually loved the turquoise bag, just don't know if I'm brave enough to completely change the rules! God what do I sound like. Also my mil is totally matchy person and I'm scared what she will think! But I think that may be more reason to do it.
Thanks so much... Keep it coming...any more suggestions welcome.

I really like the Bertie jl shoes, but they are top end of my budget really and I don't currently have a john Lewis near me, so would want to try before I buy. But am def thinking about them. I have two weeks to go.

Coral sounds perfect - nearly linked to this bag before but I'd already put so many in...
