Multi-Colored Bridesmaids' Dresses + __?___ Jewelry/Shoes

My bridesmaids are wearing different brightly colored dresses - one blue, one green, one coral, and one yellow. My "main" colors are pink and orange, but I'm so stuck on a) what color shoes to have them go for (nude? metallic? - I want to steer away from black, seeing it's an August wedding..and I'm all about color! :)) I thought about flip flop wedges, but maybe too casual? and b) jewelry. My dress has a bit o' silver in it, but I found a chunky beaded pink/orange/yellow necklace (23") that my friends could wear - but not all have their dresses so I don't know what would/wouldn't work.

I've stalked Pinterest for some ideas, but I haven't found something as concrete as I'd like. Help! 
 

Re: Multi-Colored Bridesmaids' Dresses + __?___ Jewelry/Shoes

  • Since you have different colored dresses, I'd just have them match their shoes to their dress. I agree, you don't want black and flip flops seem a little too casual (unless it's outside on a beach, etc...)

    There are dyeable shoes, so they could have shoes dyed to match their dresses, if they can't find any shoes that match already. David's Bridal has the dyeable shoes.

  • As all the dress are different colors , I think you can choose white , it can match all the dresses :)

  • I would go with nude.  I think matching shoes to the dresses is too matchy-matchy.

    All the BMs might wear the orange/yellow/pink necklace, including the girls wearing green and blue? That's a lot of color. I'd definitely go with nude. Are the dresses the same style? If not, you may want to consider the same style shoe, too, to keep them from being too different. Good luck!

    I agree. Nude is the way to go.
  • Nude shoes and let the girls decide on their own jewlery.

  • Neutral colored espadrilles? I know not everyone likes those but I think they are the best summer shoe (besides flip flop of course)!



    Wedges are easy to walk in, and such neutral colors and materials, blend in and make a statement at the same time.

    I think pearl necklaces are always a winner:

    [QUOTE]another vote for nude shoes. A metallic could work too - they could all wear whatever metallic goes with their respective color.

    Thank you!!! I appreciate it..I'm going to go with nude! I'm going to get white flip flops for all the bridesmaides to change into for the potluck/BBQ reception afterwards! :)
