I think these would look great.

I think the first pair are too casual for a wedding, while the last 2 will make your overall look very "bridesmaidy." I'm also concerned that the wedge on the second one will be too clunky.

That being said, I really like the peeptoes (4th and 5th pairs) and the 3rd pair with the ankle strap (if you have long legs... otherwide the strap might cut off the flow of your leg line and make you look less tall).

IMO, though, that dress would look best with a pair of cute slingbacks, like the model in the picture is wearing, or something like this:

I wore these one weekend for an out of wedding 3 days in a row, and they were very comfortable:

just found these:

Brown 9.$50

Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Brown Gabi Peep Toe Pumps 10.$20 Mossimo® Didi Woven Wedges - Brown 11.

Xhilaration Calista Sling with Bow - Brown 12.

the other bridesmaid has asked that we don't have open toe or an ankle strapi like the last one eurodaisy posted.

(the ankle strap would not be flattering on her, so maybe stay away from that but there is not really a reason to not do open toe) i like the last one eurodaisy posted.

I feel like these are all too chunky for the dress. I agree with eurodaisy. I think it needs to be something more delicate.

I think these would look great with it. Since you aren't wanting an open toe, my next fav are these

#3 are my favorites. I also like 4 and 5.

I agree with FP and ShopChicago about the gold heels - they are beautiful and I think they will complement the brown nicely. Sometimes trying to match brown with brown is tough.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I agree.. You need delicate shoes.. A lot of these are just a little too casual or chunky for a wedding.

3, 4 and 5 are all good options.

I actually really like 5, and they look like they wouldn't be too uncomfortable

e_doli · Dooney & Bourke

What about these?

Eurodaisy · Dooney & Bourke

Ooh, I like them. The scalloping and gold detail is pretty. Are you wearing gold jewelry?

nyc_shopgirl · Dooney & Bourke

Number 3 has my vote. I personally would avoid leather and go with a fabric it tends to be dressier and much more appropriate with a bridesmaid dress even if it is not a traditional dress.

gypsyfreak · Coach

I also like #3 too.

Like the others, I'd prefer a more delicate shoe. Also, I think that the dress would look fabulous with gold sandals.

Tashina · Kate Spade

i like the white ones
