Help me pick shoes/accessories

[shevacc]

My brother is getting married this summer in NC, an afternoon outdoor wedding in August, so probably very hot. The colors are hot pink and orange and his fiancé suggested to somewhat coordinate. I've found a dress for me and one for G but I'm horrible with accessories, especially shoes (I only have 2 pairs of dress shoes right now -- black ones and brown ones). Please help me with ideas! I'm 5'9 with big feet (9.5) so some styles look goofy in my size. DH is 5'8 so I don't like wearing super high heels, though an inch or two is fine. Do I need a necklace as well? Anything else?

Some shoe ideas for you - I have size 9-9.5 feet too (went up to 10 when I was pregnant!) and Seychelles look really cute on me and don't make my feet look as ginormous. They're pretty comfortable and I love how retro they look + I think they would look good w/ that dress!

I love zappos bc you can search by brand, then size and color. If these are too mellow in terms of color you can always wear a gold or silver shoe. They have really cute flats too.
GL!

For jewelry, I think it really depends on your style but here are a few ideas:

There are some really cute J crew/kate spade inspired statement necklaces on etsy like this one (lots of different colors, styles, etc.) www.etsy.com/shop/Payless4fab?ref=seller_info

I love the shoe ideas! Will search zappos tomorrow. I should look through my jewelry -- I probably don't really have anything that would work.

YW!

Oooh these are so cute too!

Love the color of that dress. I like the first shoe - the nude wedge. You can also try a gold sandal. That would look nice. Too with gold accessories.

Please tell me the wedding is in the evening or the mountains. Outdoors in NC in August sounds brutal.

I'm thinking it's going to be brutal. At least the ceremony is in the late afternoon in a church and the reception (the outdoor part) will be early evening.

I love both dresses!
I'd probably skip a necklace and do chandelier earrings. Or if you do a necklace, a very short simple one. The dress has a lot of detail with the lace and neckline, I wouldn't want to compete with that.

I would do a gold strappy shoe.

I like the idea of nude shoes. Both of those dresses are gorgeous! Can't wait to see pictures!

Love those dresses! I like some of the necklaces posted here. I'd wear gold stuff.

I would wear big earrings, a simple necklace and flat shoes. I wear flat shoes though because my DH is 1'' taller than me and doesn't want me to wear heels.

I would probably wear something like these (they are Lilly Pulitzer gold flats), but I know this isn't most people's style here!
