Shoe and Boob Dilemma

So I'm sitting here messing around with Polyvore after having shopped all day for engagement session shoes. I was looking for red or pink to match this turquoise, red and pink dress I plan to wear. I found these instead:

They are so cute and actually don't kill my feet. But the color is just off and off in not a good way. The Candyman agrees with me. Back to the store they go.

This current shoe hunt is leaving me with trying to figure out what shoes to wear with The Dress. How do I figure this out? Do you buy the shoe first, then have it with you for the dress fitting? I'm assuming I've got to do that with bras and such too, right? I have no idea what kind of boob apparatus I'm going to need. I can't do a strapless because of the v-neck,deep back aspect of the gown. I think I'm going to have to get some of these weird boob-like implant things.

This is the Nu Bra Divine Body Bra. Anyone ever wear one of these suckers? Supposedly the silicone sticks to your boobs. Are these as unhelpful as the lick 'em-stick 'em horseshoe shaped "bras" we all bought for prom, circa 198something? The silicone wonders above are $65!

So, do I bring all the goodies with me to the fitting? If so, I gotta get to shoe shopping. My problem is my knee. I killed my knee running like a crazy person, training for too many marathons. Prior to that I was a shoe WHORE. The higher, the better. The freakier, the better. I have some gorgeous shoes that I can no longer wear. I have appropriated a few special pair to special people who wear a size 8-1/2 (Michele, I hope you are caring properly for the coveted nude boots). The others I hoard away, dreamy of a day when I just....might....wear them again.

That being said, I can no longer stand to wear high heels for any given length of time. However, I cannot imagine wearing flats on my wedding day. I am marrying a man who is eight inches taller than me (and I'm 5'10"!) and I want to wear heels, dammit! I think I can get away with 3" for the day though. My doctor would say flats. Platforms would be my preference. In my random searching today, I found these little nuggets of goodness:

I know these are by Guess, but I have no idea where I found them. Guess shoes usually kill my feet so I'll probably avoid these, but they are cute with the little flower, no?

These are by Shelley George, are on sale for $144 and have a 3 " heel. Kinda vintage looking, which is cool. Sadly, they also have a bit of a "Colorifics" feel to them too.

These are by Something Bleu and are only $360! Bah. The lower heel and platform is good for me though. I need more of this style for under $100.

I'm still thinking of blue shoes as my "something blue" and it is really hard to find Tiffany blue shoes. These are from Betsey Johnson and are $175. They also have a 4" heel. My knee is already pissed off at them. I'm only mildly irritated.

The Candyman and I went to what we both consider to be the world's best place to shoe shop: Marti & Liz in Cool Springs, Tennessee. It's designer shoes at a discount. They are samples, returns and past season merchandise sold at a DEEP discount. I'd share their link, but they don't even have a website! There was a pair of satin, peep toe sling back KATE SPADE shoes for $49.99. They were an 8. I wear an 8-1/2. They were blue, they were so close. C'est la vivre. I bought a pair of flip flops instead. The Candyman got some groovy top-stitched things for only $35. Score.

So for real, I need some advice. Do I have to get all the accessories prior to dress fitting?
