Heel advice?

danielm18

So, I've never really worn heels before. I'm looking at pumps because they seem to be more formal and I'm pretty short. However my wedding is going to be outside and I'm worried about them sticking in the ground. any advice?

Also, any opinions on what kind of heels would look good with pearls and a lace dress? I was looking at glitters heels but I'm woried they would clash or something. I'm not really great at matching things

On your first point,  try on a couple of pairs of wedges and see if they work.  I find them kind of harder to walk in than pumps, but they at least don't have the sticking in the ground problem.

I would not wear glitter heels with a lace dress.  I think it would indeed clash.  I would try to find something satin, probably.

If you get short, thicker heels or wedges, you'll be better outside and more comfortable. Something like this- http://www.dsw.com/shoe/taryn+by+taryn+rose+kathleen+leather+wedge+pump?prodId=242370&category=cat20010&activeCats=cat10006,cat20006,cat20010

I'm wearing these- they're not too tall or narrow to be uncomfortable on me. http://www.dsw.com/shoe/mix+no.+6+barbie+glitter+pump?prodId=dsw12prod3540040&category=cat20010&activeCats=cat10006,cat20006,cat20010

You could also wear nice flats as well if you're more comfortable. If it's a long dress, no one will notice. 

As for the style- you could totally do glitter because again, if your dress is long, it won't make much difference. I would also look into plain white/ivory shoes or if you like the trend, shoes in your wedding colors. If your dress is short though, I would aim for nude or plain white shoes, anything else might be distracting.

Ditto wedges, but I think glitter would catch on your lace and pick it.

I wore glitter heels with a lace dress and it was awesome.

a pretty ballet slipper would be nice.

Second the idea for heel caps if you do pumps, or wedges if that sounds more grounded to you. Also, I'm wearing glittery heels with my lace dress, they're only glitter on the heels and the rest is ivory silk. They're going to look awesome. 

Here they are:

Thank you so much everyone! And Divinemsbee that are awesome heels! Would you mind if I asked where you got them?

No problem, they are Kate Spade 'Clarice' heels in ivory/gold. You can get them on Zappos and the Kate Spade website. I didn't find out until after I got them that there's a brand (RSVP, maybe) that does a pretty good knock-off. You can find both on Zappos, just put glitter heels in the search function on there.

solemates!!!! they go on your heel and the distribute your weight just enough so that you wont sink! although I wouldnt go with pumps. if your not use to heels you will hate yourself 10 minutes into your ceremony! go with a lower heel. i would so no more than 3 inches or your feet are ganna kill before you even get to dance.
