| I have a white and blue floral a-line dress for my sister's 1 pm wedding next month. It hits just above the knee. I have no clue what color shoes to wear. Black seems too severe for a daytime event. Beige clashes with the white. Do I get white shoes??? Please help. |
| You are right that black and beige are no good. But, seems too early for white. Any chance that navy blue sandals would work? |
| What about silver and a silver clutch bag? |
| I think black sandals would be cute, maybe with some white accents to make them seem more summery. |
| I second the silver. Navy and black don't seem to work together, in IMHO. |
| I think silver would work too, or gold or some other metallic. You could also do red. No to beige, white, black or brown. |
| OP here. Silver! Yes, that would totally work - never crossed my mind. And I also like the idea of the black sandals with white accents, though those might be more difficult to find. Thanks everyone! |
| bright yellow sandals with a heel you're comfortable in. |
Ewww |
Hard to say without knowing the style and shade of the dress... Here are some shoes that I find attractive, though for a wedding I'd bring two: one for pictures (if I'm expected to be in them) and one for dancing.

I was thinking more a brown, strappy sandal. It's daytime and seems to be a more casual affair, right?

| The OP never said the dress was navy blue. I assumed it was a royal blue. |
| Definitely not brown. A metallic is much more current and stylish. No, no, no to brown. |

Another thing to keep in mind is heel height.
If the dress is a-line and above the knee, that's a recipe for a 'look at my undies' experience. You might want to avoid high heels. I don't have a image of the dress, but in my imagination high heels + short a-line may make for a slightly 'less sophisticated' appearance. A kitten heel or something no more than 1.5 inches might be best. ??? Anyway, something to consider. Dont' you love getting advice from strangers?!

| I second the yellow suggestion and really don't understand the poster who said, "Ewwww"....I think yellow would look great with a blue and white dress! |
