Okay. Up to this point I had intended to wear TOMS in my wedding color (pink) under my dress. This being because I am not particularly coordinated, nor am I very familiar with walking in heels. Oh and i'd like to be somewhat comfortable for dancing etc! It's just a very "me" thing to do.
Today when I bought my dress, it became obvious very quickly that the dress looked much better when I was in a heel, the way it fell etc.
Any suggestions on a shoe type? I'm thinking maybe a wedge? I guess it's going to be like kindergarten training for the next month or so...I hadn't anticipated this obstacle..!
Re: Shoes
Yes, wedge wedding shoes would be great for you- you'll add a few inches to your height but you don't have to wear uncomfortable high heels. Whether or not you want a slingback provides another option for you to choose from as well.

In fact, many brides often feel more comfortable in a pair of wedge bridal shoes than a pair of high heels with the same heel height. Since many stiletto heels have such a small contact point with the floor, balance is made even more difficult. A pair of wedges allows for some compromise: the added height but without the lack of stability!
