I want/need some kind of shrug, jewellery, hair stuff and shoes

This is my dress here but its in this colour

Fancied a faux fur shrug but then thought I might look a bit like Mother Christmas - so not sure now

Anyone ?

You could, my sister in law wore sparkly trainers under her wedding dress, no one knew.

Sorry, being thick about whose were the mortgage arrears inducing shoes.

Love those Dune shoes - stunning. I know what you mean about clashing shades though but will anyone really notice under that big skirt ? (I could wear my slippers )

Georgie - the silver shoes aren't mine - they're DropdeadFred's

Cod - you're not bored enough ?! Ah - go on ...

red shoes would have to be exactly the shade of the dress to work, although there are companies that dye them.

I thought the shoes were a done deal though?

Love your dress, Think a cream coat you could wear again would be fab (but I'm no fashion queen!) I love the red shoes maidamess linked to

No, red.

what about a champagne colour (not gold?) for the shoes? And in satin? The red dress will be the focal point of the outfit, think may be better if the shoes are a little more low key.

(but agree that red shoes would look nice too)

NOT SILVER. Doesn't go with red. (IMO)

What time of year are you getting married?

I think if its winter, a long cream coat with a stand up collar would look divine over that dress. I think shrugs/shawls etc have kind of had their day.

You need something you can pop on to get out of the car but you won't need it after that, and the dress is so lovely, just keep it simple rather than over accessorising.

Less is always more!

Sorry - but I have really cut the budget on a lot of things to allow for those shoes...but at the end of the day you only do it once!!!

I have to admit I didn't look at the price . They are stunning though but I think DP would murder me . Like the idea of silver though....could maybe do a silver wrap/shrug as well ?

Caz - I think light gold would look good but I don't really wear yellow gold (rings etc. are all plat/white good), so will probably go with silvery accessories

well I am horrified by £400 for shoes too! But many people aren't, clearly.

i just wanted to say you HAVE to have that black cape, it is PERFECT

I don't want to rain on your parade but £399 for wedding shoes - you must be mad.
