My dear friend Kristina is getting married next spring and has reached out to me (and our blog readers) for help. I cant get a picture of the dresses to upload but here is the link. She is getting that dress in the pacifico color which is shown in a smaller picture under "Suggested Compliments" in the bottom right--it's the vibrant blue that's shown in a couple pictures.
She would like to have the girls wear a fun, yet affordable nude/flesh tone sandal. She was thinking about gold but was worried because her dress and jewelry are all silver. Do you all think that's ok or should she stay away from mixing gold and silver?
Any ideas? Post any links of any sandals you think may be good. I'll let you know the outcome!

My opinion? Trust your bridesmaids to wear the right shoes.
You're already picking their dress and that's bad enough. No one likes wearing what you pick out despite how much we say so. Just let them get what shoes they want. No one will be looking at them anyway - it's the bride's show.
I think it's far tackier when all the gals switch to flip flops for the reception (with dresses dragging too long) than shoes not being identical. Let them be comfortable and remember - in 20 years, it won't matter. You'll be married just the same no matter the footwear.
I agree with Ally 100%. My bridesmaids wore a brown dress with pink sash and I just asked that they find brown shoes to wear. Interestingly enough, the majority of them ended up wearing the same shoe.
I would just ask that they wear a similar color, but then have each deside on the style that fits them best. Besides, who wants a bridesmaid tripping down the aisle because they're not comfortable in the shoes they were asked to wear.
There were several cute (and cheap) options on Target.com, if she was wanting to provide some ideas. Are there any other accent colors for the wedding?
I totally agree with the above. I think she should pick a color and ask everyone to where the same color. As for the gold/silver. It won't clash if they were gold shoes and she wears silver. TRUST ME. It will not look bad in pictures or person if they are different, Now if she wants them to wear silver jewlery I'd rethink the gold shoes.
I don't think her silver shoes will clash with their gold shoes if she decides to go that route. The last wedding I was in we wore black shoes and the bride wore pink ones! Is her wedding dress long? If so, you won't be able to see her shoes anyway.
I think I'd prefer a silver shoe with that blue color, but a nude color is always a great option too.. nude matches everything!
So, I have nothing to offer on the shoe front but let your friend know that when the wedding stress gets to her to visit www.uglydress.com
If nothing else it will make her laugh and forget the wedding worries for a moment or two!
I agree too! Just have Kristina set the color that she wants and let the girls just pick out what sandals they want.
Still love the flip flops at receptions Al - all the better to drink in my dear :) Ha!
