Emma: I am wearing a gold dress to a wedding in a couple of weeks. Should I look for gold shoes or is that too much gold?
Tara, Zoe Boutique: Everyone loves a gold moment, but an entire outfit of gold may be a little overwhelming. If you are going to go with gold shoes make sure to add some accessories that will balance it out. Depending on the time of day, your accessory options can change drastically. An evening wedding tends to be dressier, but a daytime wedding can be more casual.
For the evening look, black always looks stunning with gold. You have so many great accessories to chose from, such as a black clutch and a statement necklace or earrings. Go bold with the black coral Quidnet Necklace by Katie Bartels. Add a black clutch like the Pour La Victoire Elie Mini.
A daytime wedding gives you a chance to play with a little color. Turquoise is a great color every spring and summer. The Chan Luu Turquoise mix wrap bracelet gives you a casual but bright look. Add a long gold and turquoise necklace like the Heiress Chalcedony Pendant from Coco Blanca.
With regards to gold shoes, the Zoe ladies all agree that gold shoes with a gold dress is too much gold. If you absolutely want to have gold in your shoes, try mixing it with a great tan leather. Our choice is the Enzo Angiolini Gabrino pumps available at Kiskadee. This shoe gives you the gold glam without overdoing it.
