Dress Dilemma

So I got my dress and I LOVE it...it is a creamy color that they refer to as "champagne" and it is gorgeous! I will be wearing pearl jewelery, with maybe a little bling (i.e. CZ or crystal.)While trying on my dress when it came in, my maid of honor and I found a bridesmaid dress that we love. It is burgundy, knee length and it has very subtle silver and burgundy beading just under the bust. Myself and all the girls LOVE it!And now here is the dilemma. Long story short, I thought the beading was going to be gold and loved the idea of gold shoes. Now, I have narrowed my options down to silver or dyed burgundy shoes (which I know is not a popular option.)The thing is, our invitations/placecards/table numbers, etc. are all based around our color scheme of burgundy, chocolate brown and ivory...and my dress is a creamy, champagne color. Will silver shoes clash and throw everything off?I know I am probably overthinking this (and being a typical bride!) but I really appreciate your HONEST feedback. Thanks SO much!

  • I think silver will look fine.

  • Not clear whether you're talking about your shoes or your BMs' shoes... but in either case, get shoes to coordinate with the outfit. (So, get gold shoes for yourself, and let your BMs get silver shoes). Don't worry about the overall colour scheme. Silver and gold are neutral colours and will not clash with your colour scheme.

  • To clarify, my dilemma is with the bridesmaid's shoes. I am probably go to get neutral colored shoes for myself to match my dress.   Thanks everyone!
  • Heck, if the BM dresses have "very subtle" silver beading, they can probably even wear gold shoes. Do you have pics of the dress?

  • Silver will look fine - honestly no one will pay that close attention to your BM shoes

  • ffs, please eliminate the option of matchy dyed shoes. just let them pick any silver shoes and call it a day!
  • I would personally say to have them go with a white/ivory shoe but that's just me
