Maybe as part of their BM gifts you can buy them some cute UGG knockoffs from payless so you don't have to worry.

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

I don't like those shoes for the dress / flowers at all .....Oh god I'm SO SO sorry ! Don't hate me !
But I just LOVE that dress and flowers and think the shoes totally take away from the elegance.........
Also, those dresses are short right ?? Just be sure w/ open toe shoes your BMs are willing to go either bare leg OR toeless !!

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

I wouldn't hate you.. I didn't pick them out.. lol.. THe dress has a sash around the waist, with rhinestones in the middle, so we need something that goes with it

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

TO be honest, given the classis elegance of your dresses and flowers, I would agree with Maris, those are not my favorite...I think they do not blend so well. But if you love em, that is what matters and I think they can do the boot change w/out problems.

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

Sorry, but I think there are much nicer shoe options also . . .

Check out bridesave. There are pages and pages of shoes with rhinestones and most are dyeable:

Rhinestones

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

Honestly, with tea length dresses, I love the shoes to be dyeables dyed to match the dress. They could always dye them black later. Those first shoes don't match at all IMO.
Maybe something like this (in red) if you feel you need rhinestones. (But I don't love these either)

Or these, which I like much better.

But honestly, I would go with just a plain strappy sandal even though it is march.

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

I NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU CAN DYE THE SHOES TO BLACK AFTER!!!!!

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

I have to agree Im not in love with those shoes. I don't like the black (especially with the rhinestones) with your dresses. Its fine to wear strappy shoes in March. I think the UGG knockoff idea is cute target has them also.

they can dye the shoes black later on but why not keep them red to match the dress? They can wear the dress again too.

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

Chinese Laundry makes a reall cute sandal slingback that has two straps and two small rhinestone buckles. I have them in red and black and they are SO comfortable ........cheap too !! check out the website ! - That red may match the dress perfectly and you may not have to dye them !!

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

I'm sorry too but I dont think they look right with that dress at all. They look like shoes to go out to a club or bar with. I have to be honest but I say it with only good thoughts for YOU!

Im sorry, but I would make them dye the shoes the color of the dress. Do you want them to have all the same shoes?

I would say in your situation ( tea length) dresses, screw being nice and pick a shoe and they WILL understand...You can get soooo many syable shoes inexpensively, dont settle..

Re: My girls found shoes.. but..

This is the Chinese Laundry shoe
It's only $30 on the website and comes in a ton of colors......
I feel guilty I started the 'I don't like those shoes trend'
