    I would just tell your BMs to pick whatever silver shoe they would like.  I think that a nude color shoe would also look very nice as well. 

    Neutral is the way to go when you have a bright colored dress.  Pairing a bright colored shoe with a bright colored dress will just be a bit much for the eye to take in.

    Add the pink in with the flowers.  The bouquet will really pop against the aqua.

  • Thanks, I was thinkin the samething, me and my bms found really nice silver shoes that they both like and i also like them, they kinda wanted the pink shoes and that was ok but i wanted to get others input

  • Cute colors!! I cam across this picture on Pinterest where they went with bright colored shoes and personally I like it. If you do go this route, I would probably stick with bouquets for them that are a solid color matching the shoes so there isn't too much color involved.

    This is just my opinion, but that photo makes me cringe.  I feel like it's straight out of the 80's.  I think it's the shade of both those colors that are way too strong for me.  Since you're doing aqua dresses, I'd have them do a neutral colored shoe.  Make sure you bring a fabric swatch of the BM dresses to the florist so that you can see the bouquet color against the dress color.
  • I'd stick a with neutral shoe. Silver would look great. Have your bridesmaids pick what's most comfortable for them and nobody will notice their shoes are different. Then the dresses and their bouquets will be beautiful pops of color.

  • Yes I agree. I just wanted to run it across you girls n see what y'all think. And all my girls feel its their responsibility to pay for their own stuff.. although im the kind of bride who does not require them paying for their own.. I will be paying for their shoes rather its pink or silver. As i stated before though we all liked these silver shoes n they r a really good deal 25 not on sale n right now they are 2 for 30 which is awesome.
