I'm going to a wedding - please suggest me some shoes

I'm wearing this burgundy tulle skirt and a similarly coloured velvet top to a wedding next month, but am really not sure what to do about the shoe situation and sadly I think my doc martens won't cut it (although I will 100% wear the skirt with docs on other occasions).

I'm very much a gold rather than silver person and wondered about something from Esska like these, but would they go? Or would I be better with black? I like the idea of burgundy shoes with it but am not sure I would really wear them elsewhere. Also don't think I'll be able to go bare legged in December so will probably have to wear tights.

I'm a size 7/41 and live in NI so postage can be a bit limited (John Lewis had some Esskas on offer but they wouldn't deliver them here). Budget is also a bit limited, ideally under £100 if possible but if it's something I'll wear again I could spend a bit more.

I think gold or black or burgundy would go and those esska shoes will be perfect- or similar slightly cheaper if needed. I have a pair in the same style (but in pink velvet) and they are the comfiest going-out shoes ever. Wore for a wedding, danced in them, wore all day/night and not once did my feet feel sore. I am a trainer/doc person usually. I also wore black tights with them. The outfit will look really nice!
Have a look on Vinted at what’s available.

There are a lovely copper pair of the esska Charlie on Vinted in size 7 that’d work. There are also gold ones too!

Sorry I didn't realise there had been responses!

Thanks - I'm now stalking the Esska website for the Black Friday sale. I've also ordered a pair of M&S but very similar to Esska black velvet sandals from Vinted.
