Please vote — Which bridal shoes do you like?

Hello. I am getting married in a few weeks. I have been trying to pick out my wedding shoes, and since I have a foot injury that hasn't quite healed, it's been difficult to choose.

I have decided that I am going to get a pretty, higher heel for the ceremony, pictures, and garter toss. I am going to get a simple, comfy sandal for the rest of the day.

Here is the comfy shoe I picked out:
Shelly: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=sandal&id=134&sstr=&nr=0&nom=

Here are the two "pretty" shoes I'm deciding between. Which do you like best?
Jodi: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=sandal&id=454&sstr=&nr=0&nom=
Audrey: http://www.benjaminwalkcorp.com/?pg=bridal&sub=sandal&id=754&sstr=&nr=0&nom=

The Audrey, in my opinion, is slightly more comfortable and slightly prettier. The Jodi is slightly more sturdy and is a little less expensive. Which do you think I should choose?
Here is the wedding dress I'll be wearing the shoes with:

Thanks for your help in choosing!
Just in case it wasn't clear, I am planning to buy two pairs of shoes. I'm definitely getting the Shelly. I'm trying to decide if the second pair should be Jodi or Audrey.

Keep in mind that the heel height for all of them needs to be the same. If you alter your dress to fit the high heels, then when you change out of them into the lower heels, your dress will drag and get stepped on. There is no way to prevent that.

Have you tried them all on? There really is no way to tell by looking at pictures online how they fit. It sounds like you've already decided since you said the Audrey shoe is more comfortable. It's worth it to pay more for comfort. Your guests won't pay attention to them and you'll likely get pics taken of them when you're getting ready.

If I had to choose, I would go with Audrey. I can't walk in chunky heels (Shelly or Jody) at all but I have no problems with that type of heel.

    Personally I like shoe #3. With your dress it will look very elegant. The first two shoes are kinda plain, imo.

    Love your dress, btw! Congrats! :)

    I'd just stick with the Shelly and wouldnt bother getting any other shoes. Honestly people wont even see your feet for most of the day and it is just an added expense. Plus you will probably find you will be so busy and the day will fly on by, changing your shoes wont even be a priority. Someone will always be after your attention.
    The shoes are all very similar anyway, so I would get the most comfortable pair and stick with them. Pretty up your toenails with some nice polish and you will be fine

    Well you said that you are still getting over foot injury and the Jodi is slightly more comfortable and slightly prettier. Then I would go with that. I do think that it is prettier also. Hope this helps and good luck with everything that comes your way!

    I can't decide between Jodi and Audrey. I like them both a lot. Since you tried them on and think that Audrey is more comfortable, go with that one. A 2.5 inch heel is mighty wearable.

    Never Underestimate the Value of Professional Water Damage Cleanup

    I didn’t realize how much damage water could do until a pipe blew at our little car repair business. None of the heavy equipment was damaged but we had to stop operations during the water damage cleanup. I didn’t even know where to start and we generally just tried to put everything where they were supposed to be and mop up as much of the water as possible. After a couple of days of trying to assess the damage and getting things back to normal, I finally decided to try looking up a number that I could call to help us out. I found a water damage Orlando restoration company to call and thankfully they had 24 hour service. They gave me a free telephone consultation and also threw in a free visual inspection. Calling them was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my business. They got the repair shop back to normal in a lot less time than I expected and we were back in business before I knew it. They were definitely professionals and handled the water damage quickly and thoroughly. I took them up on their insurance billing services too. Not having to deal with insurance too much was a real load off, and it gave me more time to work on the repair shop. I’m glad I found a number to call for this kind of emergency. I would suggest that you look for a restoration services company now and have the number handy when the time comes that you need it.
