Weddingbee boards

Hi bees!  So we have picked and ordered the BM dresses (yay) and of course now I'm focused on shoes. The dresses are short and navy, from J.Crew. I was originally thinking of having them just wear whatever metallic shoes they wanted (although I would specify gold or silver once I figure out which metallic will be incoporated into our decor), but recently I have been loving the photos I've seen of navy dresses with bright shoes...  Our accent colors are light blue and orange so now I am on an orange shoe kick.  I found some adorable ones by Nina, but they are $80 (although I can get a 20% off code taking them down to more like $65) and I'm hesitant to ask them to spend this much on orange shoes, since I'm not sure if they'll want to wear them again.  Their BM dresses were very affordable, so some of the girls have said they wouldn't mind buying the shoes also, as the dress + shoes would still equate to less than what a lot of BM dresses are, but I just don't know.  I'd be thrilled to buy for them, but then that will impact what I can get them for their other BM gifts, and I have lots of other cute ideas for that, which I'd rather do! 

What do y'all think?!  Thanks in advance for the advice =)

@Belle2Be: I thought of asking them to split the cost also, but wasn't sure if that really resolved the issue...it's not so much that I need them to be in this specific shoe, but there are so few orange heels out there (I did find one other cute RSVP option, but it's the same price so even letting them choose between the two wouldn't help)...and I worry about the shades matching if I just said any orange is fine.

@Miss Geek: yes, I think I will ask ultimately what they think - I just didn't want them to feel pressured to say they were fine to buy them just because I asked, haha

thanks for the input! =)

@E-Shix B: I'm not sure there is really a "standard" cost to ask...every wedding I have been in my dress has been at least $200 and a couple were $250-300. But I've never been asked to buy shoes, we were always allowed to wear whatever we wanted, which is why I posted this thread on whether it was ok to ask the girls to do that...their dresses were only $130 and the shoes I'm looking at would be around $60, so in my mind I'm thinking that's less than I spent on just a dress for other weddings...but I still am not sure I'm comfortable asking them to buy the shoes.  I think I'm going to show them all the shoe idea and see what they think...
