Thanks to the hive’s shoe suggestions, I’ve managed to narrow my options down to the following four pairs of shoes. If you have additional suggestions, please feel free to let me know but just remember I am new to this heels thing and would prefer kitten heels! 
Option 1: $48.00 by Dollhouse
Option 2: $59.00 by Chinese Laundry
Option 3: $69.00 by Dollhouse
Option 4: $56.00 by Colorful Creations
As a refresher, here is a photo of my dress (which is super light ivory) and accessories (just ignore the shoe part since those aren’t dressy enough):
Thanks for your feedback!
It’s a toughie– they’re all so cute! I went with #2 because they seem more bridal to me. 1 and 3 are cute, but they’re too everyday to wear at a wedding.
I think your shoes (especially because of the length of your dress) need to have as much personality as you do, so I vote for #1. Bonus because they are also the least expensive and look the most wearable for someone who isn’t used to heels 
I went with 1, for it’s super cute. I think either 1 or 3 would work best with the whole “vintage-y” feel.
4!!!!
Its just right. Not too much, not too little. And it won’t take away from your amazing vintage find of a dress!
I really like it in the off white/ cream
oooh I love both one and 2. I ended up voting 2 because I think they will feel more bridal for the ceremony. But I think 1 would be great for dancing. They are so darn cute!
I picked shoe #4 for two reasons: 1) because the ivory color is a very close match to your dress, and 2) because being simpler than the other shoes it lets the focus stay on the mazing detail in the dress.
Ah! I am so glad you went for my idea for t-straps! Totally love the ones you chose! And see, even people who didn’t chose 3 ALMOST did…
Hmm, I’m between 3 and 4.
3 have the vintage look I think you’re going for, and the heel looks nice and sturdy, but they may be too dark.
No. 4 is really cute, and the ivory looks like it goes really well with your dress. Plus I just like peep-toes with short dresses (see Mrs Onion).
Will you have a chance to try them on with the dress? That’s the trouble with short wedding dresses - the shoes matter a lot more!
I have shoe #1, and sometimes it rubs my achilles. You should definitely break them in if you go with them.
While the other shoes are cute and could work, shoe #4 knocks it out of the park!!! it would be so chic and actually pull the look together they way you want it to. I love the idea of the mary jane and or t-strap but i think those MJ’s and TS’s are not quite enough for your dress.
Could you die #4 to a very pretty pale shade of blue to go with some of your blue and brown colors? Not bright blue and not turquoise but just a pale barely there blue…. would look awesome.. in MHO.
I think 3 is best because it goes with your whole vintage feel, but also will give you a nice little boost in height and dressiness. All the options are great though!!
Nooo, I want 1 to win! You want the kitten heel, and I think they will match the dress so well.
Also, what is this I keep hearing about things needing to look “more bridal”? I say, you are the bride. Things you wear on your body inherently become bridal because you put them on. Don’t be uncomfortable teetering around in heels because other people tell you that you should be!
Thanks for your votes guys! 1 & 3 are the shoes that are most “me,” so I’d be happy with either.
@Miss Avocado:
Yeah, I never got the whole “more bridal” thing myself. If the bride has blue hair and a black dress on, she’ll still look bridal because she’s the bride and can own it since its her day and she’ll be glowing whether she’s in off white or not I get what people mean, but I disagree that one shoe that is bridal for one person is the same type of bridal for another. I make no sense in my babbling!
wow… it’s a dead heat so far! I voted for #4, but I had a really tough time deciding between that and option #1. I only picked #4 because the color of the shoe (the cream one) can be dyed to match your dress better.
@Kim:
Woot, I have a new love for t-straps thanks to you!!
I think number 4 is perfect to complete the look. They won’t compete with the dress but simple accent it. 1 and 3 while adorable just seem like they would be to busy, especially with the dress and accessories. BTW so happy you are going with that dress, I love it so hard.
May I suggest 2 more options for you viewing pleasure? 
This is a really cute pair of strappy sandle-like heels, but may be too high of a heel for what you’re looking for:
And these are a cute kitten heel sandal with a little feminine bow:
I think both would go well with your gorgeous vintage dress! Good Luck.
I really think an off-white shoe would be better than pure white with your dress color, so I voted for 4. I do love 1 and 3 but in looking close they look, well, abused. Not just vintage, but worn, and too white.
You want the shoes, which will be visible, to look almost as good as your dress! I voted for 3, but I liked 4, too. I think #1 isn’t “enough” for your dress! And #2 isn’t vintage enough. Don’t worry, I’m not good in heels. #3 and #4 aren’t that high, and they look like they have enough support. Consider the height and support of the heel. I think #3 and #4 will be okay! Good luck!
