Before I even went dress shopping, I knew I wanted to wear red shoes under my gown. This, in part, is fueled by pictures like this one from our photographer, Kate Crafton:
My other criteria involved having a 2-3″ heel (I’m 5’1″ and need all the help I can get) but for the shoes to not be ridiculously uncomfortable. I had the hardest time narrowing down what I wanted them to actually look like, however. All of these were contenders:

I finally purchased two pairs to try.

However, when I tried them both on, the winner was clear (don’t mind my pale, veiny feet):
Both pairs were about the same, comfort-wise (in that they weren’t), but I looooved the open-toed pair. I thought they looked a little more formal and great for our wedding. I purchased some Heavenly Heelz and Killer Kushionz from Foot Petals, which made them tolerable. I plan on wearing flip flops for dancing at the reception, so I only have to make it through a few hours.
Oh, and the best part? The heart that Luichiny puts on the bottom of all their shoes.
I did keep the other pair of shoes; I’ll figure out some place to wear them.
Is anyone else wearing colored shoes?
I wanted to wear pink shoes, but my Mom laughed at me when I said this. I currently have ivory ones to match my dress, but I may try to slip some pink ones in without her knowing! 
i wore red shoes for my wedding too, that was a big ‘must’ for me, and I sure did enjoy trying them all on!
love the heart on the bottom!
I own the pair you bought but didn’t choose in light blue and all black 
But I think you went with the right pair, those are SO PRETTY!
Ohh, purdy!! The Luichinys are even prettier on your feet than in the pic!!
yay for pale veiny footed people!! I also have a veiny chest, so I’m debating on getting the stuff to hide tattoos to cover it depending on how bad it looks
I’m planning on wearing blue flats for ours, just haven’t decided on which shade of blue yet. I LOVE the idea of wearing colored shoes!!
Both pairs are so lovely, I’m glad you kept both! You’ve got nice feet
I feel you on the short chick thing– I’m 5′0″ but FI is 6′4″! So basically I need a 4″ heel with a covered platform… but I can’t find them in the right shade of burgundy to go with our winery wedding colors. I totally want to wear colored shoes but right now it might be champagne or gold.
Your shoes are gorgeous!
CUTEST shoes ever! I have to say, that same photo of Kate’s fuelled my excitement about wearing red shoes. Everyone loved mine, and yours are soo HOT that everyone will love them even more!
I have the pair you chose in green and wore them to a formal event. *Everyone* commented on them, so they’re definitely a great choice. They weren’t too terribly uncomfortable over the evening, but I’m sure your additions to them will help!
Both pairs of shoes look fantastic on you! I’m going to wear red boots, hopefully Fluevogs
I am about to buy the ones you chose– and they look so great on you so now I’m really excited!!!
I had a pair of red shoes too!
The 5th pair you posted is adorable. Do you remember who makes those?
I own your shoes, in red as well! I wore them to a friend’s wedding and only at the very, very end of the night did my feet hurt. I wish I had gotten a picture of the hearts on the bottom before I walked outside and over gravel, but oh well Great choice!
I’m wearing red Fluevogs (Sugar), myself. They are already in the closet and Mr. Doctor is crazy for them!
Oh Yeah–coloured shoes have become a huge wedding trend, and personally, I looooooove it! We don’t have a very rigid set of colours guiding all our decisions, but are generally using shades of pink and purple with silver and other outdoor friendly neutrals. As such, I’m sure I’ll be able to find a great pair of pink or purple heels to go with my dress…..I used to have the most amazing baby pink leather peep toes and when they were destroyed by the wooden-plank sidewalks of Sacramento last year, I was grief-striken for months!
You picked a great shoe!! I have luichiny’s for my wedding shoes they have a flower on top- Purple ones, I was enticed by the pair you have too, it is a great shoe and I bought some foot petals for mine too! I think it will be worth it!!
The luichiny’s are pretty wedding worthy but the ones with blace lace are HOT!
sorry - blace = black
Glad you all think I made the right choice! 
@Zoe: I went back to see if I could find those, and I was mistaken on where I found them! They were actually on Target’s website and it looks like they still sell them here.
@gesture and @gemini606: Glad to hear that they weren’t terribly uncomfortable! I’ve worn them around the house a bit to get used to them and they weren’t too bad, but they seemed like the type that would get uncomfortable after a few hours.
