clashing is the big thing at the moment isn't it. Pale pink or deep/rich pink? If shocking/deep pink how about gold, purple. If light/pale pink - silver, pewter?? Not an expert though, someone might be along soon....

harpomarx · 21/07/2008 20:13

what colour pink, strawberries?

widgypog · 21/07/2008 21:06

my dress

I have bought this dress and am going to get some black satin peep toes or some black heeled sandals if I can find some...dont know if that helps?

whoopsididitagain · 21/07/2008 21:07

red according to gok

harpomarx · 21/07/2008 21:07

hey, widgy - are you strawberries?

cadelaide · 21/07/2008 21:08

gold, or depending upon the shade maybe silver

cadelaide · 21/07/2008 21:09

oh, flutter bye just said that i see!

Megglevache · 21/07/2008 21:09

Red or gold with other matching accessories.

harpomarx · 21/07/2008 21:10

ooh, red sounds good, whoops!

or bright yellow or green.

black would be ok too, if you're feeling less daring...

bethoo · 21/07/2008 21:12

white, blackor gold strappy sandals

strawberriesandcream01 · 21/07/2008 21:15

It's like a bright pink colour. i dont think red would go, maybe gold. Not sure I am daring enough to wear a bright colour clashing shoe!

LisaLessLumpy · 21/07/2008 21:30

Is it a day wedding or late afternoon?

If it is a really bright pink dress you may want to consider cream sandals if it is a day do, if it is late afternoon/evening I would go with silver.

widgypog · 22/07/2008 09:48

hi..no im just widgy..who is strawberries..stratches head too!!

CoffeeCrazedMama · 22/07/2008 10:03

My dd had a dress in that exact colour for her prom, and wore strappy silver high heels with it. Looked fab. Coast do shoes in the same shade of pink, but we thought that might look a bit bridesmaidy.

pinkblossom · 22/07/2008 10:09

Silver or gold. Pref silver though.

Niceychops · 22/07/2008 17:32

yup second silver or gold

MrsTiddles · 22/07/2008 17:50

If you want to be traditional about it, I 'd go for the silver or gold sandals

If you want to be a bit more startling I would go for dark red shoes, or a dark green even

But if you want to be understated and stylish, I would go for a light tan leather or suede sandal, either a heavy wedge or a more delicate shape

I would steer clear of black or white, monochrome and colours look very very first time round 80s (unless of course that's the idea).

Ambi · 22/07/2008 17:53

I'd go for silver.

grey?

iBundle · 22/07/2008 17:55

I'd go down the clashing route myself

bought orangey red shoes to go with green/white dress for last summer's SIL wedding

lou33 · 22/07/2008 20:15

i just realised i am wearing a pink and white gingham dress, and i have brown suede stilettoes on with it

i think it looks alright
