    This is my first time posting so I hope I get some responses   I am wearing a soft white lace wedding gown and our color is apple red in the Davids Bridal color palette. I have a beautiful swarovski and red opal statement necklace, a thin red sash with a swarovski brooch going on it for my something borrowed and a gorgeous custom made brooch bouquet  that is red, silver and crystals set atop white flowers (i thought it was going to mainly be the silver and crystal brooches with pops of red, but turned out the other way)

    So now my dilemma is shoes, I planned on wearing shoes that were red, thinking it wouldn’t be too much if it was spread out between my neck, waist, and feet. But once I got my bouquet I started getting worried it might be too much if I wear red shoes. I thought about white lacey peep toe heels and adding one small red brooch on the top of each shoe but I am getting married in the Valley of Fire about an hour from Vegas so they more than likely will get noticebly dirty from walking in the desert. I did find some nice glitter peep toe with crystals shoes, it would match with all my blingy bling. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, cause I am 6 weeks (omg) away from my day and need to cross shoes off the list so I can get to my after wedding dress dilema that’s another post of it’s own haha

    I personally love pops of bright color, and I’ve seen some pretty incredible red stuff here on the Bee. The crystal shoes … definitely blingy, but I’m not sure if it would be too much with the brooch bouquet. Especially the little danglies. (I think those make it look kind of unfinished, myself. Maybe secure them into loops to make it a little less dramatic?) You may want to go with the white lace shoe – but could you find one with a red bottom? (Or, DIY, glitter-paint the soles yourself?) That would give you a little hint of color without being over the top.

    I love the crystal shoes but I would go with red. It will only be little peeps here and there, nothing in anyone’s face. I think it would look great, personally. I have pink in my hair, sash, bouquet, jewellery and also shoes. It’s my wedding so I can do what I want 😛

    So I loved the crystal shoes cause of the sparkly look, but I also still kept thinking about red shoes so I ended up ordering these from DSW for $40 and got a $10 gift card for my purchase red crystal shoes I couldn’t upload a photo, but the link will show you them and if you click red those are the ones 🙂 thanks for all the help!
