Shoes For A Short Lace Wedding Dress?

perfectisboring

Hi all!

I always need a second opinion when it comes to clothes/accessorizing. I'm wearing a double v-neck lace dress that comes to my knees with a silver sash and mostly pearl jewelry.

This is the dress, before changing the sash and shortening it.


Originally, I was going to buy navy blue shoes to match my FH's outfit, but he is as indecisive as I am about clothing and hasn't chosen an outfit. So, I'm just going to buy a pair of shoes that suits my outfit on its own - the problem is, I don't what would go with it!

Since my feet are going to be visible, I kind of want them to be a little bit different and funky. Maybe not white? But I'm completely lost for ideas. Any suggestions?!

Thanks everyone.

I have to ask...that is a really pretty dress with a lovely short train, are you sure you want to shorten it? That being said, a shoe in one of your wedding colors or in silver would be pretty. You don't need to buy white.

I've been debating keeping the dress long. My FH and I are having a very low key wedding at city hall. Our situation is really complicated, and I know FH wants to have a wedding without the wedding vibe.

I was originally looking for a short wedding dress with a double v-neck. I found this one on ebay and it was absolutely everything I wanted (size and all) - but it was long. When I first tried it on, I loved it long, but I didn't feel like it would be appropriate for our venue and the type of wedding we're having. So, sadly, I'm cutting it.

Our wedding colours are blue and silver (I decided that after my FH told me he would be wearing navy and grey), but now that he's not sure if he's wearing navy (even though the cupcakes and favours will be blue), I should probably just go with silver-ish shoes.

That is a gorgeous dress. I know you don't want any opinions on the length, but I agree with Karmasmom, I would leave it long. So what if you are having a low key wedding? How many occasions can you wear a gown, wedding or otherwise? That is a timeless dress, and if you have a daughter one day, she may want to wear it.

FWIW on the shoes: I found short kitten heel slipon shoes for my wedding in white fabric. They were comfortable. I found them on amazon.com. You can search by size, heel height and color there.

Good luck.

</div><div>I agree with the others.....it's beautiful as it is and I wouldn't shorten it, especially if it saddens you! I don't understand why your FH wants to "have a wedding without a wedding vibe".  It IS your wedding!  What's wrong with wearing something that makes you feel like it is??  Celebrate the day.  Wear a beautiful gown.

I would try to match the sash, or do really glitzy shoes with diamonds all over them.

I like these

Thanks, everyone! I've been struggling with the decision whether or not to cut it ever since it arrived. It's a long story, but I might as well tell it:

I moved to England to be with my FH about two years ago, after being in a long-distance relationship for over a year. We'd spent the past 6 months talking about getting engaged and married, but some visa complications have rushed us into tying the knot in May. So, we're getting married about a year or two earlier than we had planned, so he wants this to feel less like a wedding so we can take our time settling into married life.

After showing my friends and asking The Knot, I had decided to keep it long - until I showed the dress to his mum a few weeks ago, and she seemed pretty put off that I wanted to wear a long dress. She wasn't being petty or mean, but in our situation, I guess it's not really appropriate ? I mean, it is going to be our only wedding, but I'm just so conflicted.

@Sue-n-Kevin - I saw some on Amazon and was wondering how comfy they'd be. This is good to know!

@FutureMrsWilliard88 - those shoes are super cute! If my budget allows, I'll go for some Badgley Mischkas!

Visa complications or not, this is still your wedding and it should be a celebration. So celebrate it. I don't get people trying to tell you that just because you had to move up the date you shouldn't have a celebration like you wanted. If you love the dress as is, wear it the way it is and really feel like a bride on your wedding day!

The clothing doesn't make the celebration, the attitude does.   Short or long, it is a pretty dress and wil look great on you.  Celebrate the day with the love that the two of you share.

</div><div>I don't think a courthouse wedding dictates that one must wear a shorter dress.  I'm not sure what she's fretting about.  I could understand how it might look a litte odd to be going into a courthouse with a big ball gown and cathedral train, but this is clearly not the case.  As you said, this is your one and only wedding.....wear the gown!  :)
