Mom60, I would go either a bold print like this

@rebeccar - my daughter had a intertwined wavy bun in the back. She didn’t have any loose curls hanging down because she wanted to show her face more and not be worried if it was windy outside. The hairdresser had some hair hanging down a bit in the front which came pretty close to her one eye, so I asked her to pull the hair up more in the front so her face is showing more. Even with hair spray and a lot of pings, her hair did come loose a bit after a lot of dancing, but at that point all pictures were taken so it didn’t matter any more.
My daughter was the ultimate planner, so she had multiple hair trials. She had her regular hairdresser in NYC do it so she could take pictures to show the hairdresser upstate, and then she had 2 trials with the hairdresser to make sure she could actually do it. Same with her makeup.
Mom60, I have a Munro dressy sandal that is very comfortable and would look good with your dress. Here’s the link:

Those are dressy for Munro…but in my opinion, they are not dressy enough for the dress in question.
BUT those Munros might be a good choice for after the pictures are taken.
There are some very nice flatter strappy sandal put there. I would not go with a wide band sandal for the picture part of this wedding.
I agree with thumper1 on the sandals.
I bought a pair of 4" strappy sandal for D’s wedding. They were comfortable enough for me to make it through the first half of reception then I changed my dress and shoes. 
The issue with the venue for @mom60’s wedding is that some of the areas outdoors are grassy, but some are pretty rustic ( uneven stone steps, gravel pathways with tree roots, sticks, etc). Ask me how I know
So it was felt best to wear shoe that minimized risk of stumbling.
For DS’s upcoming wedding in just over a week, the ceremony is outdoors, but on generally level ground, so I chose a low, slightly wider heel. The dress comes just to the floor. Hope I don’t trip!
@momjr - I like the color of the Munro but I am not sure it’s right for the wedding venue. I also wonder about twigs and gravel getting in though the front of an open toe sandal.I haven’t worn a platform sandal in years and I thought that might work but I haven’t tried anything on yet. Or maybe a pump with a wide heel or wedge bottom. @jym626 what style did you wear?
I have those Munro shoes and they r comfortable. But not wedding- worthy
For the pictures
@mom60 - I wore an Anne Klein gold open toed sling back wedge but they weren’t delicate enough and in retrospect I should have chosen something else. But they were comfortable, and I did not have to change shoes during the evening. For next weeks wedding I am wearing a lower, wider heel strappy sandal. I may throw flip flops in my sis in laws car to have if my feet hurt later in the evening.
For both my DDs wedding, and a friend’s wedding…I had a small tote that was large enough for me to put extra shoes, my phone, a brush, and my wrap in…and funny during dinner at wedding two, the woman across the table pulled out a pair of Tevas or Merrill sandals from a very similar bag.
Lots…and I mean LOTS of people change shoes at weddings…and need something to carry the change in. In both cases, I just put my tote near my seat at my table…and used it when I needed it. For wedding two, I actually just carried it with me until we arrived at the reception.
I wore a strappy sandal to both weddings…and it looked fine for the pictures. My little ballet flats were just fine for the rest of the reception.
So…my free advice…get a low heel strappy something to wear for the ceremony and pictures. Wear something more comfortable for the walking and dancing.
For us, DS wants us to ride the shuttle to the ceremony and the ceremony is out in a field sort of, and a ways from where the reception will be. Unless I give a bag to the party planner, carrying something won’t be practical. Sis in law is driving so it Will go in her car.
For you, @mom60, you can put a bag up by the seating or in the building where the dancing and the cake will be.
In something like this, your toes peeking from under the long dress will look elegant, and you will not have to change shoes… because it is Tod’s!
Not all shoe brands that look similar are created equally comfortable.

On a different note, after lunch, D1 and I went looking at rings. Partly for fun, but also to give her an idea, beyond photos, and a sense of pricing. We’ll do it again. But really, now we wait for BFIL to ask my thoughts.
@BunsenBurner I like that shoe but it’s not available in my size. As our shoe guru what brands do you recommend that are pretty but comfortable.
@jym626 I appreciate your input. I’m definitely going to have a 2nd pair of comfortable shoes on hand. I know myself and I won’t last all evening in anything in much of a heel. @thumper1 bride works for one of those brands you mentioned in your last post. I’ve considered looking for a pair to change into.
I appreciate any links to specific shoes or wraps. Thanks
Teva and Merrill? They were regular ugly Beach sandals! But no one cared.
I would not suggest those for MOB or MOG!
This comfortable shoe discussion is interesting to me. I’m not the MOB or MOG but last weekend I attended a wedding and my feet were killing me! I never wear heals, always flat comfortable shoes. Since I was in a nice dress I was wearing a pair of pumps, conservative heel, nothing extreme, but I was in pain and it ruined the second half of the night for me. They had a bin of flip flops at the reception for women to take if they wanted, but I have seriously ugly feet so I didn’t want to do that. Not that anyone would have noticed, but I would have. I have another wedding to attend this summer and I am in the market for a pair of comfortable shoes that look good with a nice dress. One night like that and I realize the difference a pair of shoes can make! I’m thinking ballet flats or something. Once cocktail hour ends, I’m getting comfortable.
I find the super flat ballet flats offer less cushion than flip flops. Go for a pretty (thinner material, not sporty or too casual) pump with a rubber sole. I like the low wedge soles.
Sort of like this

This style is my go-to. I can’t tell if they’re rubber soles but you get the idea. And large enough that after a few hours, they still fit comfortably.
Serena Williams wore tennis shoes to her own wedding as well as under her evening gown to the Royal Wedding evening reception. I don’t think I could pull it off. But I was thinking about wearing a pair of strappy heels for the actual wedding and flats of some sort to the reception.
My D has glittery tennis shoes for the reception.
