Shoe decision help

I'm having a difficult time deciding which shoes I should go with. I want flats that are elegant, pretty and COMFORTABLE, and I haven't found anything that feels or looks special enough yet in a flat. Then I found Bella Belle. When I showed these insanely beautiful, but very expensive shoes to my mom and my future mother in law, they both loved them too, and they offered to each go halfers and buy them for me (DYING).

So here's my dilemma: I can't decide between 3 of them. Here's my dress for reference:

Here's the shoe that I've been OBSESSING over:

Okay, now here's the rub. It also comes in Blush, and I'm wondering if I should go that way because my dress has a blush lining. AND it would be easier to wear a pink shoe beyond the wedding than a white shoe, so I might get more bang for my buck with this one.

AND...here's my other dilemma. This other one has lace detail that is a dead ringer for the lace on my dress...

I'd appreciate some opinions. Which is your favourite? Which do you think I should go with?

    I would say the last pair! If needed you could always pick up a pair of fast flats or a less snazzy pair for later in the evening, if you can't break them in to the point of long term comfort in time

    I would go with the last pair. They are so dainty and elegant and they match the lace in your dress. I would also worry with the other ones that the beads would snag on the bottom of your dress.

    My vote is for the third pair of shoes. Although the other ones have a pop of bling which I am all about; the third pair looks so cute and elegant like the lace on your dress.

    #2 shoe fits more with the dress colour. However I like the #1 shoe best. Looks elegant and stylish

    I wanted a simple, flowy dress, so ordered some of the cheaper options. I went with the Violetta in the ended, but debated between keeping that one or the Annabelle (they're both much more beautiful in person than on the website). The Violetta was more unique and fun, and I think the beading is gorgeous, so it won out in the end. It needs to be hemmed a little, but otherwise true to size. https://www.bhldn.com/bride/violetta-dress-ivory/productoptionids/fbcaeb8b-b90b-4e9a-9313-32da085940dd

    Hope this helps!

    I like the third pair, the lace matches the lace of your dress really well! Regardless of which ones you choose though they will all look nice

    Ordering more then one dress is a great idea! I wouldn’t mind sending the other one back. Can I ask which dress you decided to keep? I wish anthropology carried a few in stores here to at least try on. Lol!

    Hi Gina! I’m also going with BHLDN and can’t recommend it enough. I actually ordered three dresses, kept my favourite and returned the others. Shipping it back wasn’t too pricey (about $30) but customs and duties on the way in were pretty steep. Luckily, there’s a way to apply for a refund of taxes from the government once your return with BHLDN has been processed. The information can be found online and while a bit of a pain, totally worth the $200 I should get back. If you like the dresses, I say go for it!

    Yes I've had it for a while now. I ordered it online. I was stalking it for a while, so it made sense to just order it. If it didn't work out, I least I knew for sure it wasn't the one, and it wouldn't be haunting me as I shopped Smiley tongue

    I vote the third pair! That dress is first off... BEAUTIFUL and it's so soft and romantic! The last pair of shoes with the tie up I think is so cute and will continue the soft elegant look of the dress!!

    Did you receive your dress yet? Or did you buy in the states? I’m debating on a couple of their dresses, but it’s so hard to pull the trigger when you don’t physically get to try the dress on.

    I’d go with the blush. And I went with a BHLDN gown too. Love their styles!

    Adora blush seems to make the most sense to me! But you can't go wrong with whatever you pick.

    I'd go with the blush, and I'd go with Adora - easier to wear after the wedding, and very pretty.
