THINGS I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SAY...
I am having my dream city hall wedding dress made (thanks to Miss Jill), even though it is being made with less than dreamy fabric. I truly could not afford the prices out there for French lace, seriously, the laces I coveted were all over $100. The mid-range laces were a bit better budget wise but they didn't move me enough to warrant spending more than I did. I found what I believe to be a nice 'faux' French lace in a perfectly creamy color and I am hoping in photographs no one will notice that I couldn't afford the 'real' deal. I realized today that I need to find some shoes to go with this dress, shoes that are appropriate for a city hall length dress. I can't imagine wearing white shoes, or even off-white shoes, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around what that would even look like (I am having horrible 80's flashbacks white pumps and all). This is the part where I can't believe I am even saying this to someone other than myself. The other day Lindsay Lohan was wearing the most darling shoes to court. Yes, Lindsay Lohan. I loved the vintage inspired Mary Jane style and the peep-toe, they were quietly sexy. I haven't been able to find anything similar and my last cry for help was gratefully answered with many a link and email so I am throwing it out there. It seems I don't have an affinity for wedding attire sleuthing, skinny jeans and budget Anthro inspired blouse shopping is another thing . Everything I seem to like cost more than my rent and well, that's not an option. So my dears where in the world can I find a shoe like Lilo's? Oh gosh, I have truly gone over the deep end....
I don't blame you, those shoes are so pretty!
I buy shoes on Amazon.com allllll the time. Cute, affordable, reliable...

Sorry to bombard you with links!
Good luck shoe hunting :)
The Kate Spade Kea Mary Jane pumps are really cute and come in a variety of colours (red!)
I think my previous comment was eaten...so I apologize if this ends up being doubled.
These are my favorite find but also very expensive. At least you can wear them after the big day too!

Most wedding things, I can't speak to, having never been married. But shoes?? Shoes I can help with. You're looking for a T-strap pump.
If you're open to a shade of brown in that same style (versus off white):

I'm almost positive these are the shoes Ms. Lohan is wearing. I instantly recognized them because I bought them earlier this summer (but later returned them).
