Well, I have fulfilled my dream of buying a red wedding dress, but now I'm stuck on the shoes! The wedding is a red, black, and white color scheme. The BMs will be in black dresses with black sandals, and the men will wear white shirts with black slacks. The wedding will be on the beach, and then we will have a lunch reception. I want some sexy heeled sandals for the lunch reception, but I don't know what type of sandals will go with my dress..please help!

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If I had extra money, I would get them just because lol.

    I found some basic silver strappy sandals too.

    What about some gold sandal heels? and what jewelry will you be wearing? they could definitely match.

    I found gold sandal heels. I really like this pair. I'm not sure what color jewelry; I was waiting until I got my shoes to decide.

    I'm not sure how tall you are, but something to keep in mind is that a dark shoe (black, for example) is going to draw your attention downward towards the shoe. For a short gal like me, (5'3") that's the kiss of death. A gold shoe that's maybe not all that far off from your skin tone would lengthen your legs- not that anyone ever finds shoes that really match their skin, but that visually it just continues the line of your leg and makes them look even longer.

    I'd go gold for sure!!

    Oooh, I didn't think about that! I'm only 5'1 so that's an important detail. Thank you!

    I love those Steve Madden's! Aren't they Harlow or something like that? Every time I have looked for shoes, I keep being drawn towards those, but I don't look good in gold!

    Also, another thing to elongate legs is to stay away from ankle straps! Get a sling back or something.

    They're Haylow, and yes they are hot! I think I'm a "warm" skin color, so gold complements me, but the ankle straps on the shoes are killing it! I don't want my legs to look shorter :-(

    I found a glittery shoe that's a slingback, but they're not gold

    You could also do a little wedged platform shoe if you don't want to be barefoot.
