What shoes? Help please:)

So, I have a bit of a problem picking shoes for my bridesmaids. My MOH is wearing a vibrant, floral print mini dress that has lots of orange, red, pink, green, and deep purple colors in it. My bridesmaids are wearing mini dresses that are the David's Bridal color Lapis (a mix of navy and deep purple). The dresses look GREAT together, very different and unique, but I am having problems choosing shoes.

At first I went with dyeable shoes, but I cannot for the life of me find any cute dyeable pumps anywhere. Silver won't look right. Now my plan is to have the girls buy my shoe, but instead of ivory in black. They're adorable pumps with a satin knot on the toe.

Will black clash or will it pull it all together?

Huh? I'm confused.. so you are buying your BM shoes and they are buying your shoes? What about just letting them each pick their own shoes and they can buy them on their own.

either way, if you aren't planning on buying the BM shoes, they get to pick them out on their own.

My bm dresses are lapis (they're actually a print but lapis is the main color). I told them they could wear black, silver, nude, or any color they thought would look good with the dress. I think it will be a nice effect when they all show up in their own shoes with their own style.

Tell them the color and they choose the shoe. Leave it at that. They are all adults and can pick out their shoes. I did this with my BM's and it worked out perfectly. Some girls don't like really high shoes, some may not like open toed heels like one of my BM. What did they do? Found a pair that worked for them and everyone was happy.

I agree with everyone else. Give them a color and let each girl pick out their shoes. it will save you so much headache trying to please everyone!! Some of mine want flats, others want tall heels, others want sandals...

My girls are all wearing gold shoes... maybe that would look good with your colors?

I was going to suggest gold, silver or nude, but definitely let them pick their own style. As for whether black will look good with it, not sure I think it might look a bit off with the darker colours, but I'm not a huge fan of black and blue together for some reason.

My bridesmaids are wearing DBs Lapis and I asked them to pick out gold shoes. They all went with different styles that they were comfortable wearing/paying for.

My bridesmaids are wearing the Lapis dresses and we were torn between gold, silver or nude. In the end, some of them had silver shoes so I decided to have them wear whatever silver shoe they wanted. The silver looks ok with the lapis! And I agree with the others - since your MOH has a different dress, it would be fine if she got different color shoes. Good luck!

Please, please please let your girls choose their own shoes. As a young woman with crazy wide feet and foot pain it's really hard for me to find shoes, I spend a FORTUNE on shoes that fit comfortably and look good, but if you handed me a pair of shoes and said "wear these" the odds are I couldn't even get my wide feet into them. Give them a color you want and let them do the rest.
