    mine are grey because my colours are yellow and grey and i couldn't find any yellow i liked!
    I nearly went for an irregular choice pair, but i decided to go for a slightly higher heel in the end and bought these:

    Hmmm as much as I love them I don't think they'd go with such a dainty looking dress. Still get some bright shoes, but more fitting to the style.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I totally get you actually, part of me is being stubborn, and I know they're not really matching, but part of me wants to rebel! :o


    I love the shoes, it's just the multi colours that I don't think would go with the dress (because it's so traditional looking), but what about a multi coloured bouquet to match?

    To be honest, nobody is going to see your shoes on the day if it's floor length, unless you're going up and down stairs or you hoist it up to walk, so I do think you would get away with them!

    I don't ever notice brides shoes unless they are a completely different colour to the dress. Even ivory shoes I don't notice because on photos, they migle together with the colour of the dress so you can't see the detail.

    Thanks for the honest advice, I am realising that I need to be realistic, though I'm still going to have a proper think about it, hehe!

    I am having a multi coloured bouquet :)
    Thank you too for your honest advice - far more helpful than when people just try to be nice hehe!

    I guess I have lots of options, eg getting Bridesmaid dresses in pink to tie it in.
    But I will try not to get too obsessed with shoe horning the shoes in :rotfl:

    Do you have your dress? Will they do returns on the shoes? You could try both on and decide for definite then! x

    I think that's the best option actually, haha, I should save my decision for when the dress is made.
    Thanks again!
