Blue shoes! :)

I found the shoes I want to wear for my wedding, but I'm hesitating on the colour.
I think I want to wear blue shoes as my something blue and they have 2 shades of blue for the shoe I like:

They also have them in white, which are very pretty.

Thoughts?

If you're going with the blue, I prefer the lighter blue. What color are your bridesmaid dresses/shoes? What color is your decor?

I'm in the minority, but I really don't like anything except ivory/white shoes for weddings. I don't like colored shoes, cowboy boots, converse, etc. But that's just my opnion. Those shoes are really, really pretty.

The darker blue looks kind of like a French blue on my screen, which is really pretty. I'd definitely go with one of the blues since you can then wear the shoes again. Frankly, 200 dollars is a heck of a lot of money to spend on something you'll only wear once and I'm assuming you're also purchasing a wedding dress that will only be worn once. I would never wear white satin shoes in my normal life, but I've worn my dark blue satin shoes many times since my wedding.

Yes, part of the reason I want coloured shoes is so that I'll wear them again.  If I choose white shoes, I could always sell them after the wedding, so I don't mind spending $200.
My dress was really inexpensive, so I have some extra money to play with anyway

Bridesmaids dresses are pale yellow and decor is grey and pale yellow & cream.

With those colors for your wedding, you really can get away with either shade of blue. I would lean towards the French blue for an evening wedding and the pale blue for a daytime wedding.
