Here's a good question for shoesday Tuesday:

Hello Mouse,

I am having a very difficult time figuring out a good pair of shoes to wear with my wedding dress, and since I love your sense of style, I figured I'd shoot you an email to see if you have any suggestions. I am getting married on the beach, so I figured I'd be barefoot for the ceremony, but then I need something to slip into for dancing and dinner and the like, but don't know what! I suppose I had thought of sticking with something flat, for comfort's sake and for ease of dancing but, I have such a deep love for heels I'm having a hard time feeling pretty in a pair of flips flops, no matter how adorned. I am attaching a picture of the dress, too, so you can get an idea of what would go -- the flowers are a light pink and the leaves are a light green, though it all looks ivory in the picture. Thanks so much!

Dear Noodles (hee hee),

I vote no for flip-flops if you're planning to dance. That little piece that goes between the toes, in my experience, causes some truly heinous blisters. I absolutely agree with you on not wearing heels to the beach--if you sprain your ankle in the sand, there goes the evening.

The shoes that came to mind when you send me this, actually, are the same shoes I'm wearing--they're flats, but so adorned that people go "OOOH, CUTE" even while you are trying them on at the store. And while I'm going with Pewter, they also come in "Nude," which is actually a nice, ballet-shoe tone of pink.* (Above: Seychelles Get Outta Town sandals in Nude.) Maybe they'd keep the barefoot vibe going while picking up the fanciness of your dress, and the pink might look lovely with your pink accents.
Or, you might also go with something that picks up the green tones, but watch out: if your dress doesn't come all the way to the floor, flats are a much bolder color statement than heels. The cutaway in these helps (Seychelles Bette in Aqua):
Plus, you know, more roses. For your rosy theme. By the way, this isn't sponsored or anything, I'm just loving the Seychelles lately. For more shoe inspiration, check out Jamie's tutorial here. And I also like these and these.

Also, the caveat to the not wearing heels on sand: wedges. You could wear a wedge heel, and avoid sinking. Like these. Send photos of what you choose!
