hmmm not keen to be honest but if you like it that's all that matters - yes silver shoes would go well.

Love, love, love the 5th wedding dress (with a real live woman wearing it)

I am loving your dress. Not too keen on the bridesmaid one though, sorry! It could be pulled off by a petite person with a nice tan.

when my sis put it on it really suited her and she is darker skined than i am. it was also really slimming even though it wasnt the right size

both dresses are really nice - silver heels would def seem good. your dress looks ivory? - ccould flower girl also wear ivory - pull the threee of them together with the flowers - plenty of light green foliage in flower girls to echo colour of your sisters dress?

sorry but i dont like the bridesmaid dress I think its totally out of sync with yours. Which is beautiful and looks amazing

I like the bridesmaid's dress,yours is beautiful.
I agree flower girl could wear a traditional ivory dress with bright breen flowers.What about ivory shoes all round?

starshaker
your dress is lovely as is the bridesmaids

yor dds dress will be lovely too

for the shoes - go tourqoise, there is no silver in the dress so silver will look wrong and just stand out as wrong, its a warm hued (coloured) dress, the tones in the dress are warm if you get what i am saying , and silver is for cool tones, so you need a warm coloured shoe - gold would work better.

(i have years of experience in this field - was a shoe designer, had my own shop blah blah blah.. seen coutless outfits before my eyes for mathcing tones and colours.dont think i am boosting or anything pls)

can you get various coloured shoes - dont have to be the one - and bring to the dress if u havent bought it yet, or will they give u a piece of the fabric (for dd's dress ) u can take that to the shops and see what i mean.

if we went for the turquoise we would send the shoes to the company making the dress and they would dye them the exact colour of the dress
