Shoe help!

i really want colored shoes for my wedding dress. I found someone who does custom work and has my dream shoes available. 

I asked for a couple swatches, and the colors are great. now I just don't know what color to go with. 

My  wedding is fall themed but I'm not crazy about burnt orange shoes or emerald green. 
i really wanted pink shoes, but I'm not sure if it will just look odd since it's not a fall color. (I'm tempted to say screw it and just do pink because I want to, but I'm not sure if I can/should?) 

ive  attached the swatches and, at least on my phone, they are the true colors. 
Also attached some stuff for the wedding to compare color scheme. 



Eta: not a fan of purple really either.

  • Go with the pink. Seriously, no one will notice or care if your shoes don't match the flowers or decor (unless you have a short dress that shows them off..)

    I wore bright, multicolored shoes. The only time people saw them was if they asked. I loved them, they were comfortable, so I didn't care that they didn't match my flowers.

    Oops. Also forgot to say my dress is going to be a little shorter than tea length. So people will definitely see my shoes. 
  • Since people will see your shoes, then I would go for the green
  • I'd pick the green or maybe a blush or dusty pink, not as bright as the swatch in the picture.
  • Go for the pink...  If you want it to coordinate, get a burgundy/mauve swatch and choose a lighter shade...

    Pink is fine! Get what makes you happy (without inconveniencing your guests...and it's your shoes, so whatever!)


    k thnx bye

  • Both my mom and FI want me to go with the green. But I also feel like I would reuse the pink ones more often. I'm still torn! 
    thanks for everyone's answers so far :)

    If you're trying to match, then the green does go better. Or I agree to go with a dusty pink.

    However, if these are shoes you are spending some money on and you plan to wear them again, I'd get whatever you think would make you most happy in the long run. If you want to bold pink- get them!

    Could you adjust your flowers slightly to go with the pink more (even if it's just your bouquet)? Bright or burnt orange and light greens would go with your bright pink shoes.
  • If pink shoes will make you happy, I say go for pink. If you don't care if they match, no one else will either.

    Can you bring pink Into the flowers or other decorations to make it flow better? Would that help make your decision 
  • I would go green (of the swatches above). Could they do a darker pink? nearly a magenta might work.

    Or if you're set on pink, possibly bring in a little more white and green to the decor and ease off the orange & burnt red.

    I think that pink swatch looks great, throw a couple dark pink roses in your bouquet and you're all set. I actually think it will go better than the green, that lime/sage shade doesn't really look all that autumn to me. But a jewel-tone pink like that swatch can work very well with a fall theme. Just try to add a little of it into the rest of your decor.


  • Thanks for everyone's replies! 
    I will go with the green. But since I rarely splurge on myself, I think I'm going to get the pink shoes too anyway haha. I can wear them to the RD :)
