Got the dress, now for the shoes and the bag...

Big wedding next month and have bought this to wear.

Not got a clue what to do about shoes and a bag. Help!

I really don't want to spend too much on either as I am stingy (I was going to give a more reasonable reason, but I would have been lying)

So I shall go bagless and shoeless to the ball

is the detail white, or pale blue?

Tutter · 21/04/2008 20:22

and is there black in there too?

youknownothingofthecrunch · 22/04/2008 09:45

Ok, I'm back.

The detail is white, there isn't any black.

Thank you for replying. I am terrible at accessorising.

these? mtching bags too

youknownothingofthecrunch · 22/04/2008 09:48

Those are beautiful, NP. Bit worried my feet might fall off after a day in them though - perhaps something a little lower?

Damnit, but I really like those shoes!

It's not in Shropshire is it, the wedding I mean?

wingandprayer · 22/04/2008 09:53

Wedge platforms look great with a maxi dress, but may not be suitable for very formal wedding.

Not sure if these the right shade of blue...www.barratts.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product1_-1_13449_10553 Few other similar options on same site, and they're not expensive.

youknownothingofthecrunch · 22/04/2008 09:53

Nope, it's abroad, LeD.

Will have a look at silver - never even thought of that - thanks Cod. Wish I had the accessory-gene. Any links to bags?

wingandprayer · 22/04/2008 09:54

Sorry for crappy link- I'm (was) a link virgin

nailpolish · 22/04/2008 09:55

these

nailpolish · 22/04/2008 09:55

wingandprayer - those are wedges you linked. platform ones at that

nailpolish · 22/04/2008 09:57

nailpolish · 22/04/2008 09:58

bargain!

youknownothingofthecrunch · 22/04/2008 10:03

Thanks NP. W&P you're forgiven

Ok, a really stupid question: Do my shoes have to match my bag? Is it a sin for them not to? Those white wedges from next were rather nice - you don't think too casual?

Thank you!
