    I need your fashion expertise!

    DH and I have a friend's wedding next month...I'm wearing this dress
    https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...620-dress.html

    I'm stumped on what shoes to wear.....gold or bronze?
    Is it too casual to wear flat gladiator sandals to a wedding? There isn't a dress code on the invitation but it's at a pretty fancy place, afternoon ceremony and night time reception. I hate wearing heels! Although I prob should as I'm a shorty pants and have a very tall hubby.

    HELP!

    Nope, I reckon the gladiator sandals will really suit that dress! Looks gorgeous

    Bronze and heels. If it's a fancy place you don't want to feel uncomfortable in flats. A night time time reception would say 'heels' inbetween the lines I think
    Perhaps the flats to the ceremony would be fine.

    i reckon being a night-time reception and pm ceremony that it would be nicer to don the heels...i always go kitten heels if in doubt and if know that i might have to stand for longer periods...also, remember that weddings do involve ALOT of sitting and eating...and by the time the dancing gets going everyone is kicking off the shoes LOL!

    yeh i agree with Heather definitely Bronze with that gorgeous dress (hey nice dress by the way) ... i wouldn't risk wearing flat's to a night Wedding no matter how much i too hate wearing heels, ... i get the look you are going for but you might have to make a change with the look to make room for shoes with heels, i also agree with Cassius2 to wear kitten heels, not sure if you can pull it off with that kind of dress to get a sexy look maybe more a pretty look YKWIM, i feel like i wanna put shoes with high straps around your legs, if there any such thing as kitten heels with high tie up strap, or something like that ?? ... and reckon a bag with shiny light coloured fabric would go great too with your lovely dress

    I am so not a fashion expert....but I might be tempted to put a colour with that beautiful dress.....
    I agree the sandals would look great, but a night time wedding really needs heels (unless there's a good reason of course). Stacked heels are very cool ATM and much more comfy.
