I am wearing heels for the ceremony that I LOVE. But, I know i wont be able to wear them all day, so I want to find some pretty jeweled sandals for the reception, problem though, where do I have my dress hemmed?? Also, I cannot for the life of me find reception sandals that have a small wedge and are white or silver jeweled sandals. Help?? Any suggestions?? I stalk DSW online and cant seem to find anything yet. Thanks in advance!
Re: Shoe help!!
I would suggest hemming the dress such that it hits the ground when you have the sandals on (or the lower of the two pairs of shoes). If you're wearing low wedges and the dress has been hemmed for the high heels, you might step (or trip!) on the dress. Or someone else could step or trip on it, etc. Also, you should opt for the higher hem unless you are okay with the bottom of your dress getting very dirty over the course of the day.
Ideally, you could find some comfortable platform wedges that lift you off the ground about the same amount as the heels do.

I think your best option is changing for something that's the same height as your heels after the ceremony, so the dress doesn't have to be altered.
I'm wearing something like this:

they're not the most glamorous thing, but nobody will notice them when I'm on the dance floor, and it's either that or my Converse, and then my dress would be too long!
