Wedding slipper

Getting married at Easter. 2nd time round for both of us so we're not going too traditional, just picking the bits we like and suit us.
I'm wearing a slightly less traditional dress with spring flowers over it and am now looking for shoes so I can get the length altered.
Dilemma:
I've got my heart set on pale blue ballet flats similar to those In the pic (can't wear heels due to previous injury) but I can't find any that will fit my very wide hobbit feet! Plus it's winter so not a lot of light shoes around.
Help!!
Any pointers or suggestions oh wise mumsnetters?

Could you find a white or ivory pair and dye them?

Asos is worth a look. I have a blue and a purple pair of satin pointed flats with jewelled bits on the front. They are good at wide sizes.

Maybe wait till Spring if nothing suits you right now

Hadn't thought of ASOS, will have a look!

Unfortunately, they only appear to have a pair of sandals in flat wide fit.

I could do but for various reasons I need the initial alterations done fairly early in the new year.

Unfortunately, very few of them are wide enough fit - damn hobbit feet!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I've just ordered the shoes in the pic and little pearl brooches to sit in the bows - fingers crossed they are comfy!!
