Hello Lovely Ladies...

I need your expert fashion advice! I've picked out a dress for my friends wedding in June and I need help with shoe!! The ceremony is outside in a beautiful garden next to a victorian house, and the reception is in a barn a short walking distance away (dirt floors!). So, I want shoes that are fairly sturdy since the ground will be uneven...and they have to be fairly comfortable becasue I probably won't be able to take them off (dirt floors!).

Here's some I found online that I like - help me narrow it down. Please feel free to offer suggestions, too!

I like 2, but they are a bit chunky and a bit too matchy matchy for me. One would work well, but they didn't look comfy to me.

My wedding shoe heels are so covered in gunk I can't wear them again (I got married in a garden, too. Thank God I bought cheapo Payless shoes for the ceremony, lol). The white shoes are the prettiest, but the purple shoes will hide grime much better, and I think they might keep your feet a little cleaner given that they have a slight platform.

I like #1, too, but you will regret forcing heels into a situation where they really aren't logistically appropriate. Plus, the dress is very summery and clunkier shoes, in my opinion, are not summery.

I'm also thinking I'd like to find a crocheted shrug or wrap for if it gets chilly. Ideas?? ~ * ~ Found my “Rock of Love”!!

They didn't have my size so they are shipping it to my house...will have it in about a week. So I'll take actual pics then. ~ * ~ Found my “Rock of Love”!!

Rock_of_Love Ideal Rock Total Posts: 996 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 1/7/2009	Thank you for all your compliments on the dress!! It actually looks soooo much better on than the pic I found. I can't wait to get it!! Yeah, I was kinda feeling that #2 were too chunky for the dress. I did like the purple, it didn't feel too matchy for me cuz it's not quite the same color and I liked how the wood heel balances it. But, yeah, I was thinking they were too clunky. Hmmmm...I do like 'em though. Maybe order them and see them IRL. I like #3 too, especially for comfort reasons!! I really like the flower and I feel like it really goes well with the style of the dress. But, yeah, dirt will be close to feet!! ~ * ~ Found my “Rock of Love”!!
