What about either white or nude peep toes?

Like these: image.axd?picture=2008%2F10%2Fpuralopezbridalpumps.jpg

you have the white on the top - and a nice white bag, seeing as it'll be the time of year for light colours??

The dress is stunning by the way

The top of the dress is a really weird colour.
The beading is gold/silver/copper in places.
Makes it v hard to choose shoes

I have bought a bag that is this style

but this colour

Squishywishy I don't think the pink suede shoes would go with the dress. i think gold/pewter colours or the white that dancingqueen suggested would be better.

OP that dress is FAB. Moonsoon really does have lovely stuff doesn't it. I agree it is hard to imagine what shoes will suit it but the only thing I would suggest is to not match your dress with purple shoes. You will never get the right colour and it will just look like you tired too hard. I think something in a metallic colour would suit it. Maybe a 50ies peep toe style.

I love the dress and thats why im in such a panic over shoes.....dont wanna ruin a gorge dress by having crap shoes.
Was originally hoping to go for a nude shoe but i cant find any nice ones.....dont think silver (shiny silver anyway) goes. Havent tried pewter so ill give that a go.....just cant find anything....saw these but i dunno.....bit bride like

Beautiful dress!!
Handbag is fab!! I would definitely try and match it as close as possible to the handbag!!

These might be too bronze

You could always buy a nice pair of sandals in any colour and spray them pewter like the handbag then get some gems from a craft shop and arrange them nicely on part of the sandal!!
