Hi ladies!
I can't make up my mind on the shoes I want my girls to wear! I am stuck between yellow, white and silver. Also should it be the same shoe or should I chose the color and let them pick the shoe!?
Their dresses are all long and the same. The color is navy blue. My wedding colors are blue, yellow and white.
Initially I was thinking they they all have the same yellow shoe. Since the dress is long I kind of feel bad asking them to buy yellow (although I LOVE the way that looks in pictures!) When will they really ever wear these again??
So my next thought was to have them all wear white to match my dress and me to get a navy blue shoe to match their dress. (still wedding colors!). But then I got concerned because there are many shades of white and I thought it might be a pain for them to go hunting for the same tone white shoes.
So then I started thinking about silver. It's not the wedding colors which bums me out a bit, but it's classy and a shoe they will wear again. Plus, their dresses are long so how much will anyone REALLY even see their shoes?
Any insight would be helpful from my fellow type A brides!!!

Re: Bridesmaid Shoes
You are right. If they are in long dresses, then the girls should pick their own shoes so that it's something they are comfortable in and will wear again. That said, you could pick a color or simply say silver. I'd suggest going with silver. There is a wide range of silver shoes and I'm sure many BMs already have them.
If you pick a specific shoe, then you need to purchase them for the BMs.
PLEASE re-read your post and see how insane that all sounds. They do not need to have matching shoes, or even similar colored shoes. Tell them to pick a neutral colored shoe of their choosing and call it a day.
Most of my friends have at least one pair of silver shoes though. I assumed I was the odd one out.
I wore leopard print peep toe pumps in her wedding. I'm actually wearing them today.
