    are wrecking my head. I'm totally buying in the wrong season but I can't find anything I like that isn't 350 euro or worse in sterling. I've been really happy to pay for everything so far but I'm feeling that bridal shoes are the biggest mark up I've seen yet.

    Has anyone seen any nice ones in cream or white that don't look like they are made of plastic?

    I found the shoe shopping really frustrating too.. I was looking for white ones for the bridesmaids and ended up getting dusty pink ones.. Nine west are quite good for shoes a little but more expensive but they had the ones to suit..

    Korkys or Shu were good too if you take a look online.. I got a paid of cream kinda wedge soled ones with roses on them not very wedding shoe but pretty..China blue online also they are based in Dublin have lots

    I got mine in Nine West. They were just a flesh coloured court shoe - standard design. I was lucky as managed to get them on sale in Manchester Airport when flying back from a meeting, sor something like £40 sterling. But even full price, you're probably only talking in and around €100/€120. Definitely a big difference from €350!

    Debenhams? I think something like this is gorgeous.

    They have tonnes of options anyway: http://www.debenhams.ie/women/shoes-boots/bridal-shoes

    I got mine in dune, they are gorgeous gold glitter point toe ones, I wanted something I'd wear again.

    I Don't see the point in paying a fortune for stink bridal shoes that won't even be seen.

    After extensive shopping I got these:
    http://www.lkbennett.com/Collections/Shoes/Court-Shoes/Minu-Glitter-Knit-Court/p/SCMINUGLITTERKNITGoldSoft%20Gold?show=All

    Not cheap but not 350 either. I've even worn them a few times since. They work well as a neutral going out shoe and the kitten heel made them very comfy. There are variations too - higher heels and rounder toes.

    I got Rainbow Club shoes, they were about €100 but so so comfy for the day. They will dye them afterwards in your choice of colour so you can use them normally.

    Nope they were cheaper than the bridesmaid. As in these were less than €30 and the bridesmaids were €90 haha..

    Just looking at them now I feel like going home wearing them tonight while knitting :).. They are so much fun to wear and they only have a small heel. I am not a heel wearer and I managed to keep them on all night..

    I got them in Korkys, it looks like they still have them online they do indeed €25 eur http://www.korkys.ie/silver-sparkle-mid-heel-caj320-sil

    You can order online, I have used them and they are great

    Milly im the same. I literally cannot wear much higher than that heel or im pain. I have a small bunion on my right foot so i really cant wear heels that have my foot at a big angle or im in bits. So heels like these are fab. Bargain too at 25euro. Im not really a shoe person so i couldnt justify paying big money for shoes, even for my wedding lol.

    Your shoes are gorgeous ladies but I don't want sparkles which is actually the problem as its the big thing for Christmas.

    Debenhams haven't anything I like. I like Jenny Packham but I've heard bad things about their quality. They fall apart quite easily.

    Oh no i suppose white is kinda out of season now, mind even looking for them during the summer was a nightmare.. The moderne online has some but you would have to ring for prices...

    I think I'll wait until February and get them last minute. There's a couple of good suggestions in this thread though so I'll have a look later.

    I'll have a look on ebay too as I'm really not that fussed about them. they will be seen with my dress though as there's a slit up the front.

    Try yoox.com. Sort by price and then filter size and colour otherwise you could spend three days going through the selection.

    Edit: I got some leather shoes from Marian and I think they were well priced for quality.
