    Hey Cats,

    I'm trying to give my BMs an idea of what shoes to get for their dresses and I can't seem to find pics of what I'm looking for. They're dresses are Alfred Angelo Clover Green and floor length. We all like the idea of gold shoes, but I don't want something that's like Jewish Grandma Gold (anyone know what I'm talking about?) and I also don't want a yellow non-metallic gold. Can you gals post some pics of great gold shoes?

    @Mrs.DeetoBee: J.Crew has a great gold color in their shoes.  Probably too expensive for your BMs (way overpriced) but you could use them as an example.

    I wouldn't stress too much about it.  In the end, no one will see the shoes under a floor length dress except for the occassional pop of color, in which case, different shades of gold won't really show.  I told my bridesmaids to aim for a champagne color.  One got it right.  One wore a bright gold leather shoe with a wooden stacked heel (eek!) and one wore sliver.  If they never showed me the shoes in the first place, I never would have seen them.  I was just glad they were comfortable.

    Maybe show them Nina's gold (good color and tons of style options).  If they hit the mark with their choices, that is awesome.  But I wouldn't give it a second thought if they don't.

    I would just go to ShopStyle.com or Endless or Zappos and search for gold shoes. Pick the color you like to show to your BMs.

    It isn't worth it to stress over BM shoes when their dresses are floor length.  I think a broze color would look pretty.  But in the end, no one will even see them!!
