What I have been told about shoes is that, "Light colored shoes make you look light, black shoes make you look heavy." And your hose/tights should always match the shoes. To give one long line.

As for mamboqueen, if you can't get the shoes in time, I'd go with the taupe if they have a high heel and a slim profile. A taupe shoe with a lower heel tends, IMHO, to look a little grandma-ish, no matter the style, and can look just as heavy as black shoes. Gold could also possibly work, depends on the dress decorations.
