Bridesmaids shoes - missing 2 sizes! help!

apaige307

Hello

I have been having a hard time finding cute shoes for my bridesmaids and finally found some that everyone is excited about!  The problem is, they are from JCrew and (of course) are on sale so we are having a hard time getting all the right sizes. 

I am looking for the JCrew pearlized-patent peep toes in shore pink in any size between 7-8.

I know this is a weird request, but if anyone knows someone who has these and would want to sell them let me know!  I need two more pairs (or 1 and my MOH can wear something different).  I figured it is worth a shot to ask.....

Thanks
Ashley

Please just let them choose their own shoes.  It will be so much easier and they'll be so much more comfortable.  

There is no good reason to micromanage their shoes.

Let them choose their own shoes.  You can give basic guidelines if you want (maybe white, cream or pink peep toes) and then they can find something that fits comfortably. 

Or even send them a picture of that shoe and ask them to find something with that general style, if you must.  The peep toe heels I found on a quick search were cute:

Let them wear any peep toe shoes in whatever color you've chosen.  Ta-da!  Problem solved.

What I was asking for here was any advice on how to find the shoes or if anyone had any they wanted to re-sell.

Not that I have to defend myself for asking for help, however my bridesmaids already picked out their dresses, which are different.  These shoes were one of my bm's idea, and all of them agreed that they wanted to wear these same shoes and thought they were cute. I'm just trying to help find them for everyone who wants them.....

I"m not asking for anyone to agree with me, I'm just asking for help and didn't realize bridesmaids shoes were this much of an sore subject on this board.....
Thanks!

Wow.  I think everyone needs to calm down a little bit.  Let's just not all assume that she is a bridezilla and jump to conclusions.  There is nothing wrong with bm's wearing the same shoes.  I have been in quite a few weddings and in every one all the bm's wore the same shoes and it was never a problem.  Plus, my bm dresses are short and I'm making my bm's wear the same shoes in my wedding so I think it is a good idea and everyone was excited about buying a new fun pair of shoes! 

I think the point of the post was to find the missing shoes, not looking for advice on how to plan her wedding.

Yes, we can read and therefore know what OP's initial "point" was. But people take a chance to give some solid advice - in some weddings, BMs are happy with matching shoes, but it's one of those details that really doesn't matter and can be a point of contention and/or stress. Since OP is understandably stressed about finding these shoes, a possible solution would be to think outside the box a little and change the matching shoe plan. It's useful advice, and sometimes in life the best answer to a problem isn't necessarily the direct answer to the question that was asked.

OP, have you tried calling stores to see if they have any in stock? Sometimes store inventory is different from online. Good luck.

No one called her a bridezilla or acted like it was a sore subject.  But the truth of the matter is that this is a pain in the butt, and it is pointless for the bride to put herself through the pain of trying to find missing sizes over such a tiny detail.  

OP, if you want to save yourself some stress, take our advice and tell them to just wear their own shoes.  If you insist on buying them matching shoes, have fun spending the next few hours looking for a needle in a haystack.  After the fact, you will laugh at yourself for caring so much about this, and you will wish you had just chilled out.

Ditto MNIN, why is the BRIDE the one looking for these shoes, especially if it was not her idea to make the shoes match?! OP, you should just have the bms look themselves and be done with this. If they wanted to have matching shoes, make it their problem, not yours. The fact that you're posting about this means that you're the one searching, and if it wasn't your idea, I don't think you should be stuck with this job. Send them to ebay or craigs list, but honestly, I think finding these shoes is going to be hard.

I have to say, if they're so settled on it then they get to find them.  They can call around to stores or call the J.Crew wedding consultant to see what works.

But ditto PPs that the other thing to keep in mind is that matching brands can hurt feet - but if they're choosing to do so, just offer them a few #s and then it's up to them.

I don't think it's a big deal at all if the bMs decide ON THEIR OWN that they want to wear matching shoes. I also don't think it's bridezilla if the bride decides to help them look for said shoes, and posts on the boards looking for them.

I did a Froogle.com search and only saw two pairs, in black, listed on eBay. Other than doing an extensive Craigslist search, I don't know where to find them.

"Making them" wear matching shoes, however, <strong>IS</strong> bridezilla.

Just because you like doing something doesn't make it a good idea. And even if the BMs say that they agree with something you're forcing them to do, it doesn't mean that they're being truthful. Who knows what they're saying behind your back? Read through posts here from bridesmaids who've said, "The bride is forcing me to wear matching shoes, ugh!"

Neya, shoes are TOTALLY different than the dress.

You can tailor a dress to fit.  You can't do that with shoes.  Uncomfortable ones can be a HUGE problem.
