    We ordered our bridesmaid dresses a few months ago, but now as the wedding fast approaches, I am looking for shoes for the girls! They all have a range of size 5-11 feet, which is difficult to find anything in my colour, turquoise.  I am wondering, would flats look ok with a strapless, knee length dress? It is fairly fitted, with a lace-up back.  I know that heels would look best with this style, however we are running out of options, any ideas?

    Do you want them all to be in the same shoe, or are different shoes okay? What about a neutral metallic heel - like silver? Or you could dye shoes to match if you want turquoise.

    I think the neutral metallic may be the way to go.  That's what we're doing with the green BM dresses.  I'm trying not to get worked up about what they choose - I'd rather them be comfy if ok shoes than in pain.  The only thing I did request was that my tallest BM wear lowish heels since she and the tallest GM is only an inch taller than her.

    i am not picking out a specific shoe for my girls.. just telling them to get a gold shoe... i know that some people are way more comfortable in flats while others want a heel because it looks better. i just want them to feel good and show off their personalities..

    Thanks for your help! I would like for them to all match, but at this point, trying to find shoes to all match is literally impossible!

    Metallic is the best bet. Do they all have to be in the same shoe? Do you have a picture of the dress?

    Are your bridesmaid's dresses turquoise as well? If they are, I'd stay away from matching shoes. Black looks really sharp with turquoise. I think when it comes to shoes, bridesmaids are better off picking them out themselves, because feet are shaped differently, and what may be like walking on air for one girl can be torture for another.

    Pick a neutral and let them pick the style. You can always say, "pick a black sandal" or "pick a silver peep toe" and let them do the rest.

    Great! I will do that! I guess I am just worried that they wont do it, or wait until very last minute to find anything.
