Do these shoes go with this dress?

kvonrader · April 2012

Hi Everyone, this is my first post here. I am on the hunt for the perfect shoes. My wedding is outdoors in the grass and a little more on the casual side, so I don't want to wear heels. Plus, my groom and I are the same height, and I don't want to be taller than him. So, flats! My wedding party is wearing yellow and I kind of wanted yellow flats (which are turning out to be hard to find)!

Here's a picture of my dress:

And I found these cute Toms that are yellow:

So my question is, do you think they would go together? Any other ideas? I'm open to suggestions! Thanks for your help!

I think Tom's are way to casual with that dress - but I think a cute yellow ballarina flat would be wonderful.

Have you searched by color and heel height on sites like zappos.com, 6pm.com, shoebuy.com and endless.com ?

Honestly, I think the shoes are super casual for your dress. I know that your wedding is on the casual side but the shoes are really, really casual and would just look funny with your dress.

Here are two pairs I found on Zappos...

I agree that they are too casual.

I agree with PP. Maybe keep the Toms for dancing and wear pretty flat sandals for the ceremony and first dance.

I agree with PPs. They are way to casual for that dress. I just googled "yellow ballet flats" and found dozens of choices. I would suggest a pair of dress, satiny or leather flats. Even a pair of gold glittery flats would compliment the yellow your BMs are wearing.

I kind of thought that they would be. Here's a couple of styles I've found that I like:
Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Which ones do you like?

If toms are you style, I would say go for it. Be YOU on your wedding day!

I think you'd have to be really tall to pull off flats with a tea-length dress. In my experience, wearing flat shoes with anything tea-length makes me look super short and stumpy.

I like option 3 best, then 2. I am not a fan of the canvas style of option 1 with that dress. Option 4 is very cute ! But, I don't think it goes as well with the dress.

Hmm.. I think those would look sort of grannyish with that gown. If your want comfortable and simple, why not ballerina type shoes? flats that look like ballerina slippers would be so sweet with that dress!
