Shoes to wear with bridesmaid dress

I've come to the conclusion that I don't own any shoes that will work with the dress (hopefully pictured). The wedding is this Thursday...

I'm 25, size 14, 5ft, short legs (so I need a shoe that won't make me look dumpy and old, given the style of the dress).

My normal style of heel is a low chunky heel to be worn casually, but it just doesn't work with the dress.

I am THINKING I need to source a strappy sandal probably with a thin heel? Any opinions? What colour? What is stylish? I don't have a bloody clue. I don't have anything like this so would need to buy something. When starting my search I realised that I haven't purchased a pair of heels since I was 18 (so they're all platforms and much more suited for a club) and I don't even know where to look.

The shoes in the photo seem nice, but surely if you are a Bridesmaid should the bride not of sorted it?

@IronManisnotDead - nope! All 8 of us (bridesmaids) have chosen and bought our own dresses and shoes... or rather I should have got my own shoes!! I agree shoes in the photo work on the model, but they're v low and will make me look frumpy I think.

John Lewis have lots - if you choose a nude or metallic style you avoid cutting your leg off at the ankle, and get the effect of the full length from hem to the top of your toes. Good luck!
