Shoe Dilemma!

Help settle the battle!!!

since we got engaged i said that whatever color the girls dresses are thats what color im going to dye my shoes.. thats just my personality.. a little background my junior prom i wore a yellow cinderella dress... i wore yellow nikes to match cuz i hate shoes and my date was 6'1 im 4'11... then my senior prom came around i wore a beautiful poofy teal gown with you guessed it.. teal flip flops.. so its kinda like my signiture thing to have so my girls dresses are HOT PINK and i want my shoes to be the same color..

mom says 'TACKY' you cant RUIN your dress like that

i say.. 'ITS MY WEDDING DAY I DO WHAT I WANT!!'

help settle the battle and please be honest! i dont want to look like a fool!

i'm not sure, i kind of like the idea. there was an 07 bride who recently posted a review and her theme was black with white polka dots and she wore black shoes with white polka dots and it looked really nice.

i think that if people would expect it from you, then do it. i would try it on with your dress first and see if you like it.

i'm not sure if i would do it, but this is your wedding not mine lol

Re: Shoe Dilemma!

totally do it. your wedding should have touches of you and FH's personality throughout and thats one simple way to do it. plus you can have those pictures to look back on and it will make you laugh to think of the drama behind the shoes.

I'm wearing bright red shoes and my mom did flip out but the seamstress said 'better than red thigh high boots no?'

You can always appease your moms a lil bit by going with a satin shoe as its dressy enough to go with your gown

check out peteysbride's album on the 07 board - her shoes were awesome! (not pink but same idea - went with her wedding theme)

Re: Shoe Dilemma!

Just remember that people's opinions are just that and the day is the bride's day...if this is your signature style then let it be seen on your day...and like the others have said you don't really have to see the shoes
