need opinions on shoe color for BM dresses

ok here's the dresses for my SDs:

I got one in the chocolate color the other in this color:

which looks more champagn-ey in person...

The sachets are opposite colors

They told me bronze of gold shoes might be good but I am thinking a dark ivory and get then I can get pearls as DOJ for them..Here's a pic of what an ivoryish color looks against similar colors...

What do you think? I just feel gold or bronze might look gaudish on 12 year olds.

ps: My dress is ivory.

You could buy really cutesy gold shoes for them, but I think the ivory would like nice as well. Do you want them in the same color shoes? Maybe they can wear shoes to match their sashes? The girl in the brown dress with the champagne sash can wear champagne and the girl in the champagne with brown sash can wear brown?

Re: need opinions on shoe color for BM dresses

we thought of this but too much work and what if color is off? The champagne is a hard color...has some green reflections in it (hard to explain) with material and I am afraid (from experience) that the shoe material may not match.

I had a BM dress similar in color and in different lights, my shoes looked green or mauve...lol

Plus they are 11 now..too much back and forth for them.

I'd rather same color shoes...

Yeah champagne is a hard color to match. Unless you had them dyed. I think you could find really cute gold shoes! I don't think it'd look gaudy.

I think Ivory would work.

Re: need opinions on shoe color for BM dresses

I am doing dark brown also...with a gold shoe..but my BM are older...I dont think I like the gold for young girls. I agree with the ivory or even a satin shoe dyed the color of the dress...that is what I am suggesting for my jr bridesmaid, who is 11.
