Bridesmaids - Shoe color?

I'm having a hard time picking a shoe color for my bridesmaids, so I'm turning to you lovely ladies for help. The BM dresses are going to be a royal blue color. What color shoes would you suggest to pair with this? I was thinking maybe gray/silver, but am open to any suggestions!

    It partially depends on your other colors. I am doing navy BM dresses and either a green or yellow shoe. That fun pop of color always looks neat and my girls love fun shoes!

    I'm doing sapphire blue dresses from Ann Taylor for my BMs. Our colors our blue and silver with pink accents (mainly flowers/cake). So I'm asking my BMs to wear silver shoes, whatever style they want.

    I am doing navy dresses and I am going to go with a nude shoe!  Classy, and will go with anything.  Plus they will be able to wear them again =)

    @dpelkey7242 I was going to say nude as well.  It does depend on what kind of look you are going for though.

    Another vote for nude. I had to buy silver shoes for a wedding I was in and there's literally no other occasion that I would ever wear them to. Nude is much classier and goes with anything, so they can wear them again.

    Nude is a great idea too! Thanks ladies. Our other color is apple green, so I really didn't want to go with that color choice for shoes. Also, are you having your BMs wear matching shoes or pick their own style? I see some of you already answered this in your posts, so thanks ahead of time! ;)

    I am having the shoes match.  I'm just so matchy.  I am getting them as part of their gift, though.

    My bridesmaid can pick their own style shoes since they are purchasing them. Maybe it's just me but I would feel odd telling them the exact shoe to buy since they're already paying for a dress. If they don't really like the shoe they may not wear it again whereas if you just give them a general color some may already have shoes they can wear in their closet.

    I'm letting them choose their own shoes, as long as it's nothing crazy.  I have long BM dresses and it's an indoor, nighttime wedding so I don't think the shoes will be too visible anyway.  I have bridesmaids that are very tall and very short, so letting them choose helps with that as well.

    I think a nude shoe would look great! Plus it's very wearable again. Unless you're paying for the shoes then you should try to pick a color either a bridesmaid will already own or will be really cheap/in their budget to purchase.

    My girls haven't gotten their dresses yet, but I'm going for a dark purple/eggplant color.  They will be long, and it is a 6:30 ceremony.  So much like @kmdassow, I'm letting the girls wear whatever.  I've had to purchase shoes for other weddings I've been in because we were wearing short dresses.  Honestly, I never really wore the shoes after, they were very uncomfortable!

    As for my shoes, I'm going with fun, silver sparkle peep toe from Nine West!  I was going to go with a purple sparkle, but the heel was ridiculously high for me & I realized I'd not wear them again.  At least with silver, I can wear for other occasions.  I love Nine West, so comfortable!  Two of my friends did red shoes with their wedding dresses.  I love fun bridal shoes.

    I was in a wedding recently where we had nacy blue BM dresses and we wore Nude shoes and it was goregous! Unless you are using grey as an accent color I would advise against it.

    Nude pumps here too. A few of the girls already have them so no need to buy another pair. I'm wearing turquoise suede pumps. :)

    I've worn silver shoes in a wedding and never once wore them again. Most people don't typically get a lot of use out of silver shoes.

    I wore my silver flats until they got holes in the toes. Totally depends on the person!

    Oh it absolutely does! Just throwing in my vote as one of the ones who wouldn't. :) I think it depends a lot on age too, and the area you live in.
