About to kill myself: Bridesmaids shoes!!!!

hp100827 · April 2012

Ok, so the shoe hunt has been a lot harder than I thought. I am going to post a picture of the dresses for the girls.
I would like opinions as to what colors would look best with this dress. NOTE: They will be wearing pearls and the shoes probably need not be more than $50 (thats probably the main issue! and its an outdoor wedding so I want them to either wear flats or very low heels. lol

I was thinking Nude at first but it seems it is very hard to find this color. I still like the idea but Maybe ivory?

This dress in a color very much like Sorbet

I think nude shoes would look fine. Why not give everyone the color and they can pick put shoes that fit them and their budget? If you are requiring a specific shoe, then you should pay for them (not sure if you are or not).
They also make things for heels so they do not sink into grass, sole mates, which could be an option.

Thanks girls. My next question is: In ya'lls opinion.... would you say Ivory or Nude shoes would look better? I just have no idea.

Here are a few options you might like...

I would say either ivory, champagne or nude would look fine. Just try not to freak out over the BM shoes... I notice your headline says "about to kill myself". I realize that is a bit of an exaggeration.. and you aren't actually going to kill yourself if you can't find the right BM shoes... but, my point is... breathe. There are plenty of options out there. It isn't that serious.

I'd go with nude. Ivory seems more like something a bride would wear to a wedding.

Haha. Thanks cmgilpin. I needed to hear that. Maybe I should just call it a day on this issue and come back to it....

If you already have one of the dresses, or a swatch. Take it to your local DSW and wander around. DSW has a huge selection... and even if you don't find THE shoe there, you can put the dress next to some of the color choices and go from there.

No one is going to be looking at the BM shoes that closely... just consider letting the girls get whatever shoes they want in the color "scheme". Their shoes don't have to match.

Have your girls pick a nude color shoe of their choice...this way they can spend as much or as little as they want. Nude shoes are easily re-worn as opposed to ivory.

I was having similar stress - finally told my girls to pick, champagne, nude or gold (shimmer, not yellow gold) and wear what they want - who's going to be looking at their feet that much anyway?
