I want them to be able to wear whatever shoes or accessories that they want so that they 1) can save money and 2) showcase their individuality. But my family and friends, including some of the bridesmaids, are already expressing concern about my decision not to make them wear the same colored shoes. How do/did you all deal with these sort of well meaning suggestions?Cupcake Weddinghttp://acupcakewedding.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-24063415196754750432009-04-13T00:13:00.000-04:002009-04-13T00:13:00.000-04:00That's so sweet of you!

The odds of us finding a dress to fit and flatter them both while also remaining within rather limited budgets would prove nigh impossible, and I'd much rather they find dresses they actually like.Mary Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024629745837124042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-24832749891593592232009-04-11T12:01:00.000-04:002009-04-11T12:01:00.000-04:00*comfortably*comfortablyAylee Bitshttp://www.ayleebits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-84859030353743998992009-04-11T12:00:00.000-04:002009-04-11T12:00:00.000-04:00Love this article.

They're not very cheap and I want my bridesmaids to be able to wear them again comfortable.Aylee Bitshttp://www.ayleebits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-16325912170733566672009-04-11T11:45:00.000-04:002009-04-11T11:45:00.000-04:00yes i wholeheartedly agree. i don't really get why...yes i wholeheartedly agree. i don't really get why brides should get to dictate that their friends wear expensive dresses that they may not even like. i'm all for asking the maids to find their own dresses within a color scheme.Color Me Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570876113939066775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-83149798656337259332009-04-10T23:46:00.000-04:002009-04-10T23:46:00.000-04:00I think its a great thing!

And you're right, its all about picking a color palette and having your girls chose a shade that works within that palette not a dress that matches perfectly. The result will be totally unique & charming! I agree with the idea of incorporating an accessory like a necklace or a pair of bright colored shoes that will tie the look together!
