Need BM Shoes Opinions

kelsey+brandon · March 2012

Sorry to be a PW so early in the morning...

So we got our bridesmaid dresses the other day and I'm really stuggling with shoe choice.

Here are the dresses:

I had originally thought silver shoes, but now I feel like they look so blah.

I'm really leaning towards nude now:

What do y'all think?
Another BM suggested blush, but I really really don't want to assign a shoe that they won't get some real use out of. I just feel like not only does the nude look better, but they're also the most practical.

I say nude. That seems to be a lot of the same color.

agree. Plus, nude shoes are IN right now and think they would go great with the dresses

AlliJae · March 2012

Nude. They are becoming so popular! I think the girls would get a lot of use out of them.

chelseakopperud · March 2012

I think the nude shoes will look great!

Zimsgirl · March 2012

I vote silver. I feel like nude shoes would look off with those dresses

Why don't you have her try on a pair of nude heels to see? Does anyone have a pair already? There are also blush/nude colored patent shoes too which I think would still be very fuctionable. Plus they're so easy to find right now and are so, so classy!

I agree that silver or grey is not the best unless maybe it was an open-toe patent shoe which would probably be less fuctionable.

<div>The nude shoes I PIPed are actually mine and my BM that lives in FL has the silver ones I PIPed. She'll be up for my shower on April 14th, so I can get her to model them then...I just don't want to wait that long! haha And those are actually Kate Spade's "blush patent."</div>

Nude shoes look good with anything. You'd just be asking them to find any shoe in that color right?

diamondx423 · March 2012

I like a nude shoe, the problem is that I find every "nude" to be a different shade and it bugs the crap out of me. One nude might look perfect with the dress and another might be too peach and look like crap.

FWIW, my BM are in gray, but it seems a bit lighter than yours, and they're wearing silver shoes. I don't think you'll even see most of the shoes since the dresses are long.

I vote nude. I think the silver might be hard to find at this time of year and I think it could be too much of the same color. Mine are wearing nude too (navy dresses)!

amonis · March 2012

I definitely agree with the nude shoes. They will get a lot of use out of them since they are "in" right now. I think the silver just kind of blends in and looks bland with the dresses.

This is what I was going to say.

janeash · March 2012

I voted nude as well....they'd get more use out of them (and there are more options out there....not as many for silver)

MMRoberts11 · March 2012

I also think nude. The silver IMO would probably look like too much of the same color and nude shoes go with everything. Plus I'd get more use out of the nude shoes long term.
