Wedding shoe help, please!

I share your frustration!  I ordered (27) pairs from Zappos- and narrowed them down to the pic attached.

They're more than I wanted to spend ($298), but they are incredibly comfortable (I'd gladly wear them to bed), and I will most def wear them again.

They're Stuart Weitzman, Esteem in Beige Serpent.

I'm in the US right now- I'd be happy to buy them and bring them back?

Can you post a pic of the dress?

I don't have a good one of it as it hasn't been made yet!

I like the Fiori and Carlu.   I'm not a huge fan of dressy sandals, though.  They never seem smart enough.

As for the diamante stuff, I think you're over-anyalizing it.  It's a nice little shiny touch, and won't clash or compromise the dress at all.  After all, the dress will cover the shoes and you'll only see a glimpse of them here or there as you dance or walk around.

You're probably right. I have a tendency to do that! 

Of all the ones I posted, the Fiori was my favourite, so I might just go ahead and order them.

I really love those!  And that's what's important - you should buy something you really love (and is comfy, of course).  I could come up with a ton of styles that would work with the dress you described, but they would be nothing you'd like.

Lucky you for finding shoes! I love the details on the shoes you posted. I don't think you have to worry about the diamante bit on the Fiori's at all. I'm sure it will look great peeping out from under your hem!

I *really* like the last pair!  They're sandals, which you wanted, and I don't think the heel is too high - I am a avowed flats wearer but even I can handle a 2.5" heel.  

I'm not a huge fan of the closed toe ones, really - both because they're closed-toe, and because I have a thing against pointy-toed shoes (which is obviously my own personal preference, rather than a reason for you not to buy them!).

I have to agree with Meg I *really* like the last pair as well.      I dont like pointy-toed shoes either. I usually only flat as well my wedding shoes were open toe I think they were maybe 1.5" to maybe 2".  Goodluck with whatever you pick.    

Beautiful shoes, but I agree with shugga...I'm not a fan of pointy toed shoes either.

I actually kind of like peep toe shoes...I think they're kinda sex-ay...

Is there a Deichmann near you?  They have a great selection of reasonably priced shoes.

Sorry, Devin! I missed your post - I wasn't ignoring you! Nope, I just checked. No Deichmann within 100 miles of here. 

Isn't the cost of wedding shoes outrageous?? I wouldn't mind if I knew I was going to wear them multiple times, but 100 quid for one day!? *sigh*

It is ridiculous for one day. But compared with the cost of a wedding dress, I guess £100 isn't that much.

Sorry, ladies. Pointy toe it is!

Those are gorgeous and would be perfect. In fact, I was looking at some Stuart Weitzmans online and spotted them! The problem is timing. Your offer is SO GENEROUS, but I need them by the 18th. Thanks, though! 

So you decided on shoes?

I'm going through the same thing right now.  I THINK I've found my pair that I want, but still hemming and hawing...

It is insane that you wear them only once and pay so much.  Although, thinking of possibly having mine dyed later on so I can get my money's worth (since i'm just getting white).

Mine are dyeable, too. I hadn't thought of doing that, but it's not a bad idea. If they were black, I'd probably wear them again. As it is, I'm just getting them in ivory, which is the default colour. 

I picked my wedding shoes specifically so I could dye them and wear them again.  I've been married twelve years and they are still sitting in the box, waiting to be dyed.

Oh goodness, Abby!

And oddly enough, the name of the shoes I ordered is "Abby."  I think it's fate. lol
