I think they would definitely "ramp it up" as you said. I totally agree with you about playing up your assets. I would also encourage comfort. Sore feet/back afterward would not be good! I would like to toss out another idea. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I bought some comfy, sexy heels and I embellished them to match my hair comb/piece. I don't know if that would interest you or if you have the time. Looking back, I am so glad I did that! Congrats and good luck with everything. Have a beautiful time!

KippyK3 - Thank you for taking the time to comment, as you know so many decisions at this time, and what you have said makes a lot of sense. I like the hairpiece idea too as I am whisking my hair to the side for a fairytale effect. I am now thinking to get a second shoe for the first day. I could possibly walk up the aisle with this, and pose for official photos , then use a second shoe to run around etc, maybe. Ok again thanks!

First you need to understand who is going to respond. I always assume QVCs customers are older. I have no idea how old you are? But I'm guessing in your 20s or early 30s.

I'm 5'9"" too and my boobs were smaller back then too and I was very thin for my wedding also. My dress was from Kleinfelds and I had to order an xtra long torso for the dress. I had 2 pairs of shoes. The pair I wore where probably 4"" heels and they were a beaded pump... I still have them and they were gorgeous!! The second pair were cute white shoes with a 2 1/2 heel for dancing that I kept under the table. I don't think I wore them. My wedding was on a Saturday evening.

The shoes that you selected has plastic. I remember I had a pair of sandals which had plastic around the toe area. I got blisters every time I wore them because of the friction. I fear that you will have the same problem. I'd be concerned those shells would come off. Those shoes look cheap/tacky especially for a wedding.

I'd keep looking for a classier pair of shoes for your wedding. Think sophisticated! Sometimes plain and simply. You don't want the shoes to detract from the dress or from you.

If you really like the shoes....buy them....but they are not for a wedding even if it was at the beach! Maybe the bedroom!!

Congratulations and the very best of luck to you! I had fun writing this!

DogLvr - Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am 29, and my mom is thinking very practical as are you (she is an avid QVC shopper) - she is focused on comfort. I appreciate the comments here because most people here are experienced shoppers and are likely to point me in a better direction as they have more experience in these matters, and I am hoping to get married only once :-) So again, thank you!

I thought of a few places to look for shoes -- Kate Spade, JCrew & Lord & Taylor.

Thanks KatCat1 - My m-i-l is also on the hunt at these sort of stores. I will have a look as well to keep options open.

They look kind of uncomfortable for long wear, but maybe not for you. My first thought was that they are too black and wouldn't be attractive peeking out of a white or silver dress.

If you love them, I'd get them for the honeymoon and a short black dress where they could be the star. I think a bride should have the attention on her face and bodice, not her feet.

Best wishes!

Nordstrom has some beautiful bridal shoes.

Libbylady - I chuckled as I read your reply as mom said something similar about where the attraction should be, but I am figuring that for someone with a boyshape as mine, perhaps it might be more flattering to emphasize the legs, in my case. Thanks for taking the time to reply though!

DogLvr makes some excellent points. One thing I did not think of before -- do you really want a trendy shoe that's going to scream "2014" 20 years from now when you're looking at your wedding photos? Something to consider...
