Our wedding colors are dark/moss green and chocolate brown. I did choose the bridesmaid dresses; they match my dress' style and looks so cute (including color) on them all (plus it's comfy for an outside summer wedding). It's a fairly formal outdoor event. I am wearing pearls so I told the girls it might be fun if we all did, plus two of five have their own and we have some to lend the other two. I told the girls I didn't care what they did with their hair, makeup, nails (although I'm considering pampering the day before with manicures). I told them to wear whatever they want for shoes, although I told them since it's in a garden I suggested flats. I really didn't want them having to buy new shoes if they already had some they wanted to wear. However, now I'm getting a lot of flack (from others, not the bridesmaids) that I should direct them to wear a certain color. People are worried they will show up in red or yellow heels and spoil the pictures. Apparently this will draw all attention to their feet instead of me? I have a hard time with this because I really don't see it as important that they match shoes, particulaly as their dresses match. Yellow shoes would look probably look cute with the dark brown dresses. They're all going to dress to look nice, so it's not like anyone's going to show up in sneakers. Is this really something I should really worry about and go back to the girls with new directions? Is this really going to cause a distraction and will anyone even notice?
