Getting married outside and need comfortable shoes

Hi folks

I need a bit of wedding help. I'm getting married in May in a festival-style affair outdoors. It's pretty rustic terrain and a reception in a marquee on grass. I've got an amazing floor length Alice Temperley dress, but need some comfortable shoes to go with it. Preferably not too high heels; I really don't want painful feet or not to be able to walk properly. Don't have to be white - my dress is a bit unconventional and is very pale blush silk with bright embroidered flowers on so could get away with a bright shoe.
Help!! I'm so crap at shopping and want some shoes that do justice to my lovely dress!

Is it this dress by any chance?

I got married last year at a country house hotel but the ceremony itself was outside. What I and every other slim heeled guest found was that we kept sinking into the grass! Chunky heels or flats are my advice.

I got married in pretty mary jane ivory sketchers.

These just popped up on my FB feed and I thought of you, quite weddingy if they would go?

and yes I wore black ankle socks - personalised socks too!

(And yes my dick of a husband got his on the wrong feet and no, I didn't notice until we got the photos back Hmm )

I really like the Melissa wedges

They're comfy and not too high. Also waterproof! If you want pricier ones the Vivienne Westwood ones are lovely, that's what I wore for my wedding.

Check out Ruby Shoo. Bold and beautiful!

Wow loads of suggestions!
Mogget yes that's it but in a slightly different colour way, blush silk with black lace detailing. Amazing guess.

I like those Melissa wedges as a waterproof suggestion, might order a pair. One reason I'm thinking heels is that if I trash the bottom hem I could always have it taken up another inch to wear with flats in the future - but is that silly?

I'm also having an outdoor wedding, I've got converse to wear and also a pair of Melissa shoes as they are so comfy and practical and also pretty.
