My colors for my wedding are pewter and red, and I was hoping to wear red shoes. The girls will be wearing short pewter dresses (once I find some) with red shoes. I've always loved
The Wizard of Oz, and I think it would be neat to wear "ruby slippers". Anyway, while I was trying on dresses today, my sisters and mom mentioned that the red shoes might not work as well with a vintage lace type dress as well as a more glamorous dress. Have any of you worn colored shoes with a vintage-type dress?
Here are the shoes I want to order for me and the girls. I would maybe put a little brooch or something on mine:

Re: Red shoes
But as a bridesmaid, I would appreciate picking my own shoes. I have issues wearing heals so I would most likely have issues with those. Could you buy them for yourself and then let them pick their own just in a certain color?
As far as red shoes for the Bridesmaid's, I can't really picture them going with pewter colored dresses as well.
The below picture is my idea of pewter, am I wrong?

Pewter I think of as a dark gray, charcoal color
I say jazz yours up or even get red metallic or sparkled shoes if you love the Wizard of Oz, let that be your little fun thing. Just an idea.
I want to wear either purple or blue shoes since my colors are dark purple and the bright turqoise blue.
