I''ve picked a dress out, yay! Casablanca 1860. Sadly I have no pictures of myself in the actual dress, but I promise to get some once I order it. However, in order to do that, I want to pick out my shoes first! They are going to order the dress hollow-to-hem, so rather than guess at what height heel I''ll probably go for, I decided to try and hunt down the shoes first. I''ve included a stock photo of the dress.

Here is what I am looking for:

Ideally a light shade of blue (no darker than a cornflower blue). I haven''t picked out anything else color wise so the blue doesn''t have to match any particular shade. If not blue then either ivory or gold.
Vintagey feel to match the dress
Size 7
Mid-height heel (1.5-2 in). I have no problem with a higher heel if everything else is perfect, but FI is only about 4 inches taller than me so I''m trying to keep it out of that range.

I fell in love with the j.crew augusta peep toe in faded aqua but alas they are completely gone in that color, but that may give you an idea of my style.

TIA ladies!

I would say up to $150. Thanks Freke!
 
I found these shoes on amazon, and they come in Champagne, Ivory and White BUT I am not finding your size. I think they''d look great with your dress. Link

I love the peep toe on those but you''re right, I don''t see them in Ivory in my size. Oh well, I think the flowers all over are a little busier than I would want anyway. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much! I don''t mind giving you price info at all. Between 3 bridal shops and pearl''s place, I was quoted between $638 to $838 for the dress.

Thank you! That is quite a range. Did you buy from the place you tried it on or did you try it on and order elsewhere?

I tried it on two places (once with a friend and once with my mom and sister) and didn''t buy from either! I called a third shop, where I had tried on other dresses and gotten amazing customer service (not to mention it''s relatively close to my work) and asked them if they could order it. I knew they carried Casablanca dresses so I figured it would be a possibility. After they gave me their price, I told them that I really would love to work with them and reward their great service, but I had been quoted $100 lower from pearl''s place. I managed to talk them into matching that price! Wooooo bargaining!

Thank you so much! I especially love the Pela Moda shoes, I might have to give the 7.5 a chance. The more I look at shoes the more I am drawn to the gold/ivory ones, I''m starting to think that this just might not be a colored shoe dress.

They''re not peep-toe, but they''re blue and I think they''re cute :)

Here''s another, but with peep-toe this time! Color is Cement white pebble. Sorry I''m not internet savvy enough to create links

This is very helpful! Thanks! I definitely agree on trying to get the best price! I look forward to seeing pictures of you in the dress!
 
You''re welcome steph!
