HELP - need wedding shoes...

22 replies

7IsALieIn · 05/06/2014 13:41

...which wouldnt be such an issue in itself, but its MY wedding! (and its in a week.....)

The dress is short, colour is ivory with a tiny hint of blush, covered in an embellished lace, which isnt really blingy, just kind of twinkles. Its strapless, fitted, fullish skirt.

Ive got these www.kurtgeiger.com/women/shoes/occasion/anastasia22-champagne-satin-36-nine-west-shoe.html but they are a bit(!) boring tbh, and are darker than my dress in RL.

I've discounted everything in Dune, KG, Office, HoF, ASOS, Coast, Karen Millen and probably more I can't think of. I'm not a fan of ankle straps, like a good heel, but need something I can walk in, and not too foot exposing, my feet look weird in sandals I always think (at least the ones where there is just a simple straight strap, even though they look very elegant).

Any help massively appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks - I suppose I'm hoping for something a bit nicer for my wedding day?!

But thanks for looking - Amazon didn't even enter my head.

I think at this stage I'm limited to physical shops - I need to try on, the only other option is mass ordering (which I seem to have been going for a while now..!)

The three shops I can recommend are Debenhams (I got my wedding shoes from there), New Look (bridesmaid shoes same) and BHS. I know they may not be your normal go-to choices, but the selection atm is pretty damn good...

I wore a fabulous pair of Irregular Choice shoes with my short wedding dress – they were super comfy and everyone loved them!

RevealTheHiddenBeach · 05/06/2014 15:03

If you think all of these are hideous, I apologise...

faith (although does have ankle strappy bit)
debut 1
debut 2
new look

Lentil- I'm afraid Irregular Choice is not my style! Id never seen those before!

Reveal - thanks - I haven't looked in any of those, definitely worth a visit.

I think the difficulty I'm finding is that as I've only had the dress on once, I don't know whats going to suit it. Also I haven't found anything that I LOVE LOVE, but I guess I don't buy a lot of ivory/ satin shoes so I need to reset my mindset.

Thanks everyone - really appreciate it. x

Have you discounted metallic or sparkly shoe? Could look nice if the dress has a bit of embellishment on.

On phone so can't link to any shoes - but have you looked on Shoeaholics? It's the Kurt Geiger outlet site, so might have some last season/year shoes.

Shopping with a friend for wedding shoes yesterday and they had some lovely ones in John Lewis - have a look online if you are not near a store.

WildBill · 05/06/2014 18:36

Another thought - LK BENNETT do lovely shoes, not sure if they have wedding options though.

Ive bought these for my wedding (in mint though) and they are sooo comfy, and I just love them!

curlingandtwirling · 06/06/2014 15:04

I can remember searching for hours looking for the perfect pair of wedding shoes

try these

7IsALieIn · 06/06/2014 18:22

I'm really tempted by these.

No idea how the sizing works, or if they'll arrive in time. Great price tho.

I never even knew Nordstrom existed. I sense a whole new drain for my hard earned cash!!
