    My bridesmaids will be in navy dresses, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what color shoes to have them wear. Our wedding colors are navy and burnt orange... but I don't want them to wear orange shoes. I'm thinking something more neutral... I guess I've never really worn a navy dress, so I'm not sure what color goes best! :) Nude and silver were the two options that crossed my mind, but I don't know... Any ideas would be appreciated - and if you have pics of your BMs wearing navy dresses and it shows their shoes, I'd love to see 'em!

    My bridesmaids are wearing navy dresses and greyish tanish shoes.

    I have chopped this picture, because I don't know if they care if their pictures are posted on the internet.

    I don't think I have any pics unfortunately, but I was in my friend's wedding last summer, and we had navy dresses with silver shoes.  It looked really nice.  :-)

    Though I think since you're going with burnt orange, ivory colored shoes would match really well and be somewhat along the same color spectrum as the orange.  

    I think any neutral works pretty well with navy though.  :-)

    I think if you put a bright color shoe with a navy dress, everyone's eyes will go right to their feet. White, silver, ivory would be much better.

    I love nude shoes with a navy dress. Plus, their legs will look miles long!

    LOVE beige shoes with a navy dress, but i did LOVE amnystik 's pic with her BM's.....if you think it's too tricky to find the matching orage shade, go with beige!  They can wear the shoes again and like pinkandsparkly said above, they make their legs look soooo long.

    Thanks everyone! I'm leaning towards nude... I like how they'll be pretty rewearable after the wedding. Although, I have to say, I love how the orange shoes in amnystik's picture look too!

    i wear navy dresses a lot, like to work or other people's weddings, and usually wear brown, nude, gold, or gray shoes with it.

    I vote for the orange shoes! My bridesmaids are wearing navy blue dresses and our colors are navy/fuscia/orange. They are wearing fuscia shoes because it's the more dominant color, but orange would be awesome!
