Help me find flat shoes to wear with this dress

[carrotcakeconnoisseur]

Hello, I'm going to a wedding in a few weeks and I'm struggling to find a nice dressy pair of low / flat shoes to wear with this dress. DH is short and prefers me not to tower over him in heels, plus the wedding venue will require a lot of walking about so flats aren't the worst idea.

Any suggestions are appreciated. If it helps to paint a bigger picture, I am early 30s, size 12, fair skin and hair. Budget is £100 and I'm a size 6 shoe.

Allbirds ballet flats?

Look at Bobbies, so many beautiful shoes. They have a sale at the moment too.

I’ve always liked the look of Bobbies but couldn’t justify the price. I’d probably give them a go for a special occasion though!

Oh, beat me to it Yorkshire!

Thank you! They are lovely. I'm just out of touch with how to dress up - I'm assuming I will need a bag to match the shoe I choose?

I have the charlize flats and love them but they took a bit fo breaking in.

Oops posted too soon! The suede or leather shoes from bobbies all a dream from first wear though.

I absolutely love the dress btw

Thank you, I love it too - but I just have no idea how to style it.

Think your dh needs to get over himself tbh so you can wear the heels that dress was clearly intended for!

I'm actually swaying towards just wearing heels. I tried it on again and the hem comes right down almost to my ankle. I just don't know if flats will give it the same look

I agree, that its HIS issue he is short or can't cope with a taller female!

What about a low wedge? I find they are more comfortable and stable for walking in that a thin, pointy heel.

As a side, has HE considered buying those shoes with invisible lifts for short men?

Would something like these be permissible?

Or these?

Wedges are always far more comfortable for walking in, but will still give you the lift and height that the dress needs.

Oh that's interesting, I hadn't thought of navy. I just assumed I'd go for a metallic

Matching bag and shoe is a bit dated. To go with that dress use one neutral and one colourful, so e.g. gold shoes and pink bag.

That dress is gorgeous- it definitely needs a heel!

Oh, just realised the top of the dress is navy. Navy is a good choice, not least because you can often get navy accessories quite cheaply in the sales.

I was considering a navy fascinator to go with it. So many options!

The navy is already in the top, so I'd use the pink or even cream as a fascinator colour. Otherwise, your top half, including head actually looks black/dark. When I saw the pics, I initially thought the top was black. I wouldn't also have a navy fascinator.

Definitely don’t match the shoes and bag, and a fascinator is very dated. How about metallic strappy sandals?
