Colourful shoes for my wedding, help!

9 replies

asparagusfearne · 19/04/2025 17:27

Hi, hoping for some help from the more fashionable to find some colourful shoes for my wedding!

Criteria:

  • Fairly casual, boho dress (pictured), the length of which means I can go no higher than a 7cm heel. Lower is fine but would still like some height to feel elegant.
  • I fee sandals rather than a closed toe would fit the level of formality.
  • Dislike a single straight strap across the toes
  • Preferably not a stiletto heel
  • Colours - orange, coral, pink, yellow, red, could move into a mint/teal direction. But certainly a 'bright' rather than muted shade.
  • I'm a size 6.5-7, on the wider side of normal fit.
  • Will be happy to change into flat sandals/trainers for dancing, but bonus points if they're comfortable enough to see me all the way through

I have looked at Esska, and they're in the right ballpark, but ordered a couple of pairs and feel they're a bit too clompy. I dont like the ones with a T strap, the Cleo might be ok (correct height) although I prefer the look of the Veronica (sadly too high). I also wouldn't want to be spending this much (£150ish) without really loving them and knowing I'd get more wear from them.

Before I spend a painful afternoon dragging myself round all of the shops, does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks ladies!

I had my shoes dyed to match my colours (Raspberry pink!) I sent a swatch and they matched it exactly.

Worth a look. If any of the shoe styles are suitable then you could choose your own colour?

Dress is very nice OP but I wouldn’t call it boho or casual, but it is helpful in describing your vibe.

have you tried Sezane? Some of the colours may be a bit muted but others are brighter and some lovely different styles.

these
ones have some similarities to the Eska ones.

Sorry posted too soon. They are pricey but I have had very good wear from two pairs in the past. Again, you have to love them!

I wore a pair of purple Irregular Choice shoes to my daughter's wedding.
Changed into a pair of Hot Chocolate Design shoes for the evening.

I wouldn’t describe the dress as boho either, but it looks lovely on you. I think if the top were less detailed or plain I think you could go with a bright shoe like the Next ones above but given the embroidery I’d probably stick to gold because I think a bright colour will pull focus and ‘ fight’ with the detail on the top half.
