    I am struggling to decide what kind of shoes to have my bridesmaids wear with their saffron yellow bridesmaid dress.

    It's a golden/sunshine rich yellow and I was originally thinking black, however, our wedding colors are yellow, white, and green. 

    They will all definitely be wearing heels and I would like them to wear something really cute and bold. 

    Does anyone have an ideas or experience with yellow dresses and shoes choices?

    Thank so much!

    I think white would look fantastic.  :]

    Here's a picture I found online.

    Why not the same green you are using elsewhere? I think white also goes, but green would be much bolder (and I think cute) as long as it plays along.

    I second the green!  I think it'll be really cute depending on the style of the dress.  I don't know if green shoes are hard to find but a more subtle look would be silver.  Silver looks great with anything!

    Love the idea of the green shoes! It would really pop with the yellow dresses. But I think it'd be fine to go with black heels too- I don't think it would detract from your color scheme at all. Yellow & black always go together really well.

    i like the green idea too! while white or black will always work, i think a colored show will be more modern, and look fantastic in pictures. i would also think about a bright pink shoe. i know it's not in your color scheme, but it looks fantastic with those colors. it'll also help you avoid the dangers of "matchy-matchy."

    I agree with the green, but if you are looking for an alternative silver metallic would be pretty too.

    I like green as well, but unless you are buying them for them, I would do silver since those could be reworn more and you don't want them to waste their money on a shoe they'll wear once.

    Thank you all!
    I think green would be adorable too, I was just worried that green and yellow might not go.

    Now my question is, where or where to find these green shoes...

    :)

    I had buttercup yellow bridesmaid dresses and we did a muted gold strappy heel that looked super cute.

    Kelly green would be adorable. Try dsw.com - we were able to find shoes in everyone's sizes that were much more reasonabe than other places.

    Green shoes would be just perfect!

     On another note, will those of you that are getting yellow bridesmaid dresses please share where you are getting them? I am having a hard time finding a rich yellow bridesmaid dress with a sash option.  Also, what are the other wedding colors you're using with yellow? I'd love to hear your ideas as I'm struggling with mine!

    Not sure what color green you're using in your wedding scheme but here are some options.

    Some super sexy, cute Luichiny green heels.

    Another Luichiny option.

    Some Nine West options: Dayglow  and Falcoin and Solelyn

    Low-priced stilettos

    Daydreamer: thank you! I'm loving the 2nd Luichiny option. And I'm leaning toward a kelly green or a darker leafy green. 

    Slim: I found mine at Macys! On clearance! They are Max and Cleo by Max Azria. If you want to see a picture of the color my blog is junefifth.blogspot.com.

    I had a hard time deciding on a color scheme too!! I was originially doing Yellow, Black, Gray and White but decided to make it more earthy and switch to Yellow, White, and Green because we're having the wedding outside in a garden area.
