Sorry, another wedding outfit one...

I'm off to a wedding next month and am wearing this
dress
which a lovely friend is lending me.

I like the nude heels they've put with it, but I struggle with heels at the best of times, and more so when I'm pregnant and running after my 19mo all day.

Can I get away with flats? If so, what? I'm on a budget and have stupidly wide feet and rubbish legs... Or do I need heels?

Thanks.

Beautiful dress! I think you could get away with pumps - you are regnant, looking after a toddler and it will be a long day.

How about smart pumps like these from office. Or these ones have a slight heel but are not high (might not be dressy enough though)

These are lovely pumps in either nude or black, but maybe this might be overkill on the lace?!

If you could manage a small wedge, these are really nice

I have posted any here but silver might be another colour option.

Ooh, those are lovely. The Hobbs are gorgeous but too much money sadly. I like the lace ones also and the second pair from Office (although they're rubber and I'm picturing them as wellies for some reason). Fantastic ideas, thank you.

Yes sorry just realised there is a budget - the honbs ones are nice though!

How about these from barratts or these are a low ish heel

More cute ballerinas (not rubber!) and these ones

Wow, loads to try. Thank you for your help.

I've got these in the black and they look much much nicer in real life, very comfortable and look rather expensive IMO. In the Caramel they might work?

I have bought a pair of cheapo nude courts from Marks & Spencer recently and have been surprised at how comfy and nice they are, considering they were really cheap and synthetic (not normally my thing at all). I'm going to buy a pair of these next time I'm in town as they are a lower heel and will be great for work - they might also look nice with the dress, which is lovely!

these?

or these?

or these?

these are pretty!

or these?

I would try and go for leather as these will give a little, and also leather will let you feet breathe and not get hot and sweaty.

Have a lovely time Grin

Wedge sandals would look good - Clarks have wide ones on sale now. The metallic ones would look lovely. here

Wanted to say a big thankyou for all the help. I've bought these which are blissfully comfortable and look fine with the dress.
