  Those are so cute! I feel your pain. I couldn't spend that either. Have you looked at other brands for white satin pumps? Dyeables and touch ups are 50100 online at places with free shipping and returns zappos.com, shoebuy.com. I think you could easily add a silver ribbon to a white pump to get the Mary Jane look. Just something to think about.

  These are similar to your original ones but certainly different than the BM's:

  I honestly dont even like the $245 shoes. The ones that OBX2011 suggested are much cuter

  I LOVE Hey Lady. I bought my shoes from them as a sample and received a 30% discount. Email them (you'll find it in their FAQs) and see if they have any samples in your size in that shoe. They were amazing with me - great customer service!
  
  The discount depends on the condition of the shoe. They definitely overstated the flaws in the shoe I bought ... when I received the shoes, they looked nearly perfect to me!

  I'd keep looking, you never know what you might find!  I love zappos.com for shoes, free shipping and return shipping if you don't like them.

  Thanks for the advice! I am not a fan of open toe.....I will probably keep looking and/or stick with what I already bought. I could never justify the $245 as an expense. And thanks pattib5...I already emailed them and they didn't have any.

  I spent $267.00 on my shoes, but I was able to justify it because I knew I would wear them over and over again with any dressy attire. Sometimes purchasing a more expensive product can be jusitfied by figuring out how much the cost-per-wear is...if you're gonna wear them a ton buy them! I will tell you from personal experience, I own the second gray pair you listed and the patent leather on the inside rubs the outside of my feet and causes blisters, even after just a few hours of wear. I don't want you to be uncomfortable on your wedding day!

  csweaney,
  
  Thank you for sharing your experience....I would totally wear them over and over again. I work at a law office and am pursing a profession where I have to dress up daily and go to court, so they would definitely get re-used...
  
  I also got the okay from my fiance yesterday as long as I can find room in the budget! So exciting...just running numbers and then we will see!
  
  Thanks everyone for the advice and input!
