I need a second opinion

Are these tacky? Which colour would you pick? I have really wide feet (thanks kids) so am limited and these are the closest I can find to the style I like. They are for my wedding, but I want to be able to wear them afterwards.
MN always hates the shoes I post, so I'm ready for honest opinions Grin I'm ordering the sandals with the flowers too, but they are standard fit so will probably be too small. I'm having a lot of blues and greens in the wedding which points to the sage, but I feel the pink is a bit more romantic.

Bump, maybe they are just horrid.

I don't think they're horrid at all, but it really depends what your dress is like whether they would go IYSWIM. I much prefer the green - the pink is too flesh tone for my taste.

The first two are totally old lady. The flower ones are at least sandals and have a pretty decoration.

What are your essentials for these shoes? Wide fit, straps, height I take it?

TreehouseRose · 17/03/2017 13:15

On Asos there's new look wide fit silver glitter heel shoes which would be a lot better (sorry can't do link). Or the lost ink wide fit grey tie up sandals. Something like that. Trendier!

TreehouseRose · 17/03/2017 13:17

Just type in wide fit on Asos and you'll see lots of block heeled wide fit shoes Smile

IHeartDodo · 17/03/2017 13:25

I think the pink ones are pretty ugly (I thik it's the colour and heel shape). Green marginally better and sandals are best of the three.
They're all a bit frumpy sorry...

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:28

Needs - block heel, wide fit and I prefer closed toe. Like a mid heel but was willing to be flexible. I'm 23 but pretty grandma-ish so I'm not surprised at the old lady answers Grin
I don't really like glittery, and I've raided asos a million times but not found any I like.

Dodo the green are the same as the pink, just a different shade.

Looking on my phone, so extended image searching is out.
The nude/pink Mary Janes which are all I can see are fine in a mother of the bride/ please don't look at me way. They are ok if your outfit outweighs the shoes. If the outfit is as bland as the shoes then I think you may need to reevaluate

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:30

Dress. I'm useless at anything fashionable!

I am unfortunately a don't look at me kind of girl but I need to put this behind me I think or everyone is going to think I'm a frump at my wedding! Back to the drawing board it is.

Your dress is beautiful.

You'd be doing it a disservice to wear any of those fugly shoes with it.

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:34

Ha, thank you Rickety!
I'm an hourglass so dress is very eye catching on, don't want dowdy shoes to bring it down. Shoes are not my strong point obviously Blush

mfwannabe · 17/03/2017 13:36

Wow, no advice about shoes but that dress is beautiful

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:36

Having a second look at the dress and shoes together I can see you're all right, they are far too clunky for my delicate dress. Maybe I will have to go for a non block heel, but have a very grassy venue. Thanks for all the replies and the honesty!

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:37

I've been looking at the DP ones too wine! They have them in store in my town so I might go try them on. Was a bit reluctant to show my toes but I will have to suck it up as I can't have it all.

OP posts:
Pinkkahori · 17/03/2017 13:37

I feel your pain. I have wide feet too and find it difficult to get dressy shoes. I like them although I think they don't suit the dress.

Where are the pink ones from? They look like what I've been looking for.

I bought Rainbow Club wide fit shoes for my wedding but they were expensive and obviously weddingy so not really suitable to wear again.

RyanStartedTheFire · 17/03/2017 13:38

pink All of them are from Simply Be, I'm not plus sized but it has a big range of wide fit shoes!

wide fit wedding shoes

RicketyCricket · 17/03/2017 13:40

What about something like these?

passthewineplz · 17/03/2017 13:40

Sorry didn't see that you've posted your dress, before I posted.

Your dress is gorgeous I think you need something a bit nicer shoe wise. The last pair on the ones I've linked are nice

Tweedledumb0 · 17/03/2017 13:42

If you're worried about the grass, pointy flats would look a million times better than your original suggestions. Well done for backing away Grin

Truckingalong · 17/03/2017 13:42

Noooooo, no toes in your wedding dress!!!!!

passthewineplz · 17/03/2017 13:48

Can you fit in shoes the next size up? If so, there's some lovely bridal shoes here
