BM shoes - would this work?

Last fall, I got some adorable shoes for my 3 BMs that were on clearance. Here they are:


Then, in February, I added a 4th BM to my bridal party, and of course, these shoes are discontinued. I've been searching everywhere, and I just can't find them. I even asked for help from knotties (on the A&A board and on here a while ago), and they just aren't around anymore. So, I had the idea of getting a different, but similar shoe for my MOH to wear, and having the other 3 wear the original ones. I just came across these on Amazon:

Do you think it would look weird to have my 3 BMs in the first one and the MOH in the second (they are wearing short dresses)? Or would it look weird/out of place to have one girl not match? Any other suggestions? Am I over thinking this? AHHH!

Thanks ladies :)

    My girls are in short dresses and they're all wearing whatever shoes they want. These shoes are really similar, I'm sure no one will notice
  • My girls are wearing silver or gold, in what ever style they want. Not many people pay attention to the BM's shoes so whatever you want them to wear will be fine

  • Honestly, I doubt anyone will be spending much time looking at what shoes your BM's are wearing.

    I just told mine what colour to buy and they are getting their own shoes.

  • I did the same as PPs, just gave the girls a color to buy and they can pick their own shoes.  Some are even wearing flats while others are wearing heels, I wouldn't overthink it.  Those two styles are definitely close enough that noone will notice unless they're seriously looking at the BM's feet (and thats creepy).

  • I like the idea of having your MOH wear the different ones, however, I have to agree with PPs. I don't think many people will be checking out their shoes.

    I picked the color & my girls are picking whatever shoes they would like. I did ask for heels, and they had no problem with that, especially because they were all planning on heels to begin with.

  • I think that would work well! I would do that if I were you. It's better for the MOH to wear a different shoe than the odd BM. Especially since the new pair is sparkly!

  • I think those are close enough! and I definitely like your idea of having your MOH in the one different shoe.
  • I think it'll look fine. All of my girls are wearing different shoes, but I like the idea of your MOH wearing different ones. Makes her "stand out" a little more.

  • I do pay attention to shoes. Those are fine.I think it is a great idea for you to put your BM in one and the MOH in the other.

  • I think it would work well.  I agree with PP too in that most people do not really look at the BM shoes and if they do it's not for very long.  With your MOH in the different shoe it will help her stand out (in a good way) but still match the rest of the group.

  • Love both shoes and I think it will be fine with the MOH wearing a different shoe then the rest.
