Colorful shoes backfires!

So I thought I had a really great, fun idea! Since my BM are all wearing yellow, and the flowers are bright orange, I thought it would be great to do very colorful shoes too! I thought it would be fun if every girl gets a different, bright colored shoe.

So all well in good, I propose the idea, and my BM go crazy. LOVE the idea! Perfect right?

Of course not, so I ask them all what colors they want (except blue of course because I want mine to be different). 3/5 girls say they want purple. The same girls say that Teal would be okay too. First off, Teal is like half blue! So they totally didn't get that. My stepsister asked if she should post a 'umm isn't Teal kinda blue' comment but I don't really think that's necessary, since if I really don't want it, I can just give it to no one!

My MOH was one of the 3 so I feel like she should have her first pick, but she of course is the nicest girl ever and was like, oh well you can let someone else, I can take a different color. But how am I supposed to decide between the 2 of them, if MOH isn't the final criteria? Esp since I don't want to give any of them their second choice!

At least only one of them wants pink, and the other is my stepsister (and a doll might I add-I hope she's stalking me here!!) who is flexible.

Agh I'm going crazy. Advice??

Can't you get them all together and decide on which colors would be cool for the ladies to wear, then resort to the whole 'Picking out of a hat'.....

Then they can't say you picked favorites and such????

Just an idea....Good Luck!

What a dilemma. I agree that maybe just have them pick a color out of a hat to make it fair.

Ask them all for their top three colors, in order of preference! Then assign them yourself.

Also, maybe consider allowing two or three 'purples'--- like, eggplant,and lavender which are both very different, and maybe even a pinkish purple like a fuchsia-purple?

Agreed with this....get them all to decide on the colors to use then make it random.
