    I can't decide on what color shoes to get. I know I want a pair of colored satin d'orsays, but I'm not sure. My wedding colors are charcoal grey and a berry/wine color.

    Should I go purple?

    Should I wear teal as my something blue?

    Or should I do fabulous red (which could match our color palette).

    it also depends on what your dress looks like I think. I thought I wanted a colored shoe but with the Bees advice it turns out that wouldnt look good with my style or color of dress!

    maybe a little more insight on the dress might help determine more?

    Oooh! Great idea. Here's a picture of my dress, if I can figure out how to do this right...

    It's a Pronovias dress called Nicole in their 2008 line.

    I'm having a hard time deciding, because they are all fun colors?  What are your girls wearing for the dresses and shoes?

     I voted purple just because mine are purple!

    My colors are blue and green, so I obviously am not partial to them matching the wedding party.  Get what you like.  That's the fun of wearing a long dress.

    The girls are wearing berry colored Alfred Angelo dresses. Style 7002

    And charcoal gray shoes, they haven't gotten them yet. I let them decide the style for boththe dress and the shoes so that they would like what they got.

    Pretty! Match if you can...if not i love the teal. You can throw in a few teal accents here and there to tie it all together nicely.

    In that case, I'd probably wear purple shoes so you kind of go with your girls!
