    I've been oogling these for a while, and I couldn't decide if I liked the grey or blue better. Our colors include blue, but I was looking for purple shoes. But these are soooo gorgeous! Which do you like better? (And can you dye a light grey satin?)

    The ivory one is more bridal and the blue ones will add a pop of color. I actually like the blue ones because I think it's sassy. Plus it could be your something blue. Wait did you order both of them? or did I misread the title?

    heh yea I did, sorry I didn't really clarify that. I'll return whichever one's don't work, but I'm almost wondering if I could dye the grey ones purple? Because that would be my ideal shoe right there. The blue is pretty sassy though, its going to be a hard choice :P

    Go with the blue - They're beautiful!  I'm not a fan of dying shoes - they're too easy to ruin if they get a little wet (damp grass, spilled drink, rain that comes out of no where, etc)

    Or - If you'd really like purple, what about either of these?

    I looked for about a week for purple wedge heel sandals that only have a 1" heel and then I gave up. What is with people not carrying a wide selection of purple shoes these days?

    Here's another purple option with a low heel.  @serasvictoria - these might work for you too!

    Future KMM - They're really nice, but I knew I wanted a little bit of the glam on the toe instead of a flower, and a peep toe. So this was the closest I got :) And since I'm 5' even, I want to give myself a little (LOT, theyre 4 inches high!) height :D Perhaps those gorgeous little wedges for dancing, even though I didn't want to be a two shoe bride. We'll see how comfy these bad boys are!

     

    /Oh! And I'm looking to get a lavender crinoline underneath, which is why I thought purple would look so good. Can I do lavender with blue? Is it too much? I'm going crazy with the accessories :D

    I've seen a variety of purple peep toes without the bling/glam at the toe.  Maybe you could get one of those and then add a shoe clip of some sort to get your bling!

    PS - Nothing wrong with being a two shoe bride!  I am! (White for ceremony and red for rception!)

    Do you happen to have any suggestions for where to get shoe clips? I've been looking but I haven't found any I like, and so it's been hard for me to buy shoes hoping I'll find some cute clips.

    I've never bought a shoe clip so I don't really have any recommendations there.  Sorry!  I've heard other bees talk about having gotten them for their shoes though so if you made a post about it you could get some good suggestions.

    Although I just found some shoes that seems to fit your criteria pretty perfectly!

    Oh I might have to try those first ones, that platform could really help. I don't know why all the purple shoes have to be so dark! They look nearly black, thats what turned me off from them. I just wish they were maybe 30% lighter...

    Happy to help!  Hopefully they look darker online then they actually are in person.  And hey - with Zappos you get the free shipping both ways so if they are still too dark you aren't out anything!

    EDIT - can you tell I like browsing shoes at work when I'm bored? Smile

    I almost got those!  I love the blue.  The bling makes them plenty bridal, but still fun.

    @arenyth - You were asking me about shoe clips and this site looks like it has a ton if you end up pursueing that route: http://www.absolutelyaudrey.com/  They even have a whole section that's supposed to be "bridal".

    My shoes came! They are so gorgeous, and I went with the blue ones. The gray ones were a lovely silvery satin, but the blue ones just blew me away. The most beautiful shoes I've ever owned!

    AND! Theyre comfortable!@! 4 inches and I feel like I could walk in them all day. It is so hard not to wear them to work :P This pic doesn't do them justice but I just have to share :) If you are looking for blue shoes, get these!!
