    So I originally bought plain yellow peep toe flats for the wedding but after finding the BM shoes, they wouldn't look good next to each other because they were different yellows (ridiculous reason to everyone but me).

    I then found some shoes and fell in love with them.  Our main colors are grey and yellow and I thought they were perfect, but my mom and sister (MOH) both don't think they will look good.  I'll post a picture of my dress and shoes and the BM dress and shoes.  What do you all think??

    My dress:

    My shoes:

    BM are wearing their own choice of knee length pewter dress.  Here is one of them:

    BM shoes in yellow:

    Thanks so much ladies!

    Gosh, I'm sorry to say that I too am hesistant about the leopard print.  They're actually super cute shoes, but I don't know that you'd be doing your dress any justice!

    My thoughts are go with what is your style.  I've gotten strange looks for my choice of shoes but they are me.  if these shoes have a style that fits your personality, they will be perfect.

    Yeah...I'm sorry but I don't like them for a wedding...I like your yellow idea though and think you could find something that will make you and your dress shine!

    I like the style of shoe with dress, but am not sure about the print. If YOU like it and want to wear it, you should though. You want to be comfy, afterall.

    I'm not a big fan.  They seem a little... I don't know.  But like amaroo24 said, if that's your stye, go for it!  You're still you on your wedding day, after all.  That should shine through.

    Your wedding, shoes and all, should be perfect. GO for what makes the moment of your life beautiful.

    I actually really like them.  They are cute and funky and i like the print.  They are not ME but i like them for them and if they are YOU you should definitely go for it.  To answer your other question: I think they look great with the BM's shoes.  I just put the two pictures side by side and I think because both are non traditional and somewhat funky they look great together.

    I think the shoes are a little casual for your dress.  At the same time though, I think you shoudl get to wear what you want and if you are in love with the idea then that's ok go with it.  I think it's a cute play on your colors because it has everything and you can wear them again and remember that they are the shoes you got married in.  <3

    I don't like the leopard print shoes at all...I agree that they seem awful casual (and unattractive) for such a pretty dress.  BUT, I also agree that it's YOUR special day, you should wear what YOU want.  I mean, you're the one that has to look at them in pictures forevermore, not me or any of the rest of us, so while we can offer our opinions, the ultimate decision is yours. :)

    I like the leopard print. They give you a little bit of Bad Ass on your wedding day...love that! I'm curious though, What did the original yellow shoe look like?

    Thanks for all the comments, ladies!  A lot of you said if it is your style, then go for it.  I do tend to go for more "funky" pieces.  My dress doesn't really reflect that, but I wanted to go for a more simple dress and then use my accessories to show that more.

    I'm still not sure if I'm going to use them.  I'm going to wait and have some of my friends and family see them on with the dress.

    I did realize that I had to use flats though or else my dress would be too short.  If anyone knows of any darker yellow flats that are cute, please share!  You are all great, thanks!

    There are several really cute flats on there! It is connected to Zappos, so any of those shoes can be purchased online.
