Help Me Shop - Wedding Shoes!

SKP82

Now that I know the dress I will be buying, the only thing I have left to purchase are my shoes!  I am having trouble finding the right shoes, so of course I have to turn to my NEY fashionistas for help!

The ceremony is on a lawn, and the reception is on a wooden deck, so I need a pair of wedges so that I don't sink into the grass and so that my heel doesn't get stuck in the deck gaps while dancing. 

Here are a couple pairs I found that I really like, but that don't fit my criteria:

This pair is by Nine West.  I think the bow is adorable and I love the color (champagne and a rose champagne kind of color).




These are by Moda.  I love the detail on the shoe and the height is great.  The color was also pretty.




I'd like peach, but I am having a really hard time finding that.  I could deal with a champagne or cream color.  A low wedge with hopefully some kind of back to help them stay on while dancing.

TIA!

Have you heard of SoleMates?  They're little thingies you can put on your heels to keep them from sinking into grass (and to protect them if they do).

Just thought I'd throw that in there, since formal wedges can be hard to find.  I'll go look, though!

ETA: you could always get a shoe clip to add a little flair to any shoe. They can go at the toe or on the ankle strap.

One of my BMs had those!  I told her she wouldn't be walking on grass, so she didn't need them.  However, I should have borrowed them! I aerated the lawn a bit with my shoes.

I love shoe shopping, so I'll be back in a few minutes when I have time to look.

Cshiano - I really like these, but the heel is a bit high.  I don't want to be the same height as FI.  I am 5'4" and he is 5'10".


Elle - would those work for not having my heel slip through the cracks in the wood deck?

ETA:  Nevermind.  Just saw your post about the height.

I think the SoleMates would keep you from getting stuck in the gaps between the boards, but it depends on how closely spaced the boards are.  If they're too far apart, perhaps not.

I really love the Badgley Mischkas, they're just too high.  I will keep on with my search.

Thanks for the help, ladies!
