Help me with my sis's wedding?

So my sister is getting married on June 11 and we are in the final stages of getting everything planned (not soon enough).  I need help with picking out shoes for the dresses.  My sister is am extremely laid back person (like 100% opposite of me) so she doesn't care what we wear.  She is very short (5'2") so I think it's best for us not wear heals considering the fact that I'm almost 6' in heals.

So, here is the dress:

We are getting them hemmed to the knee (because the ones already "short" were hoochie short) and they are the "Clover" color.

What kind of shoes would you pair it with for a June wedding indoors?

Thanks kids!

  • I'm having brain farts with the PIP....my bad.
  • What is the other color for her wedding?  You could do black or silver with a low heel.

  • Maybe something like this?

    It's got a low heel, which will help with posture, and a little bit of bling to them without being overpowering.

    Great question...it's a dusty rose pink.

    Really?  If I was given 10 guesses, I would have never guessed that color.  I think that those will look good together.  What about the flowers?  What color are the flowers?  If the silver shoes don't work, maybe pull a color from the flowers.  I only suggested black and silver because most people will be able to wear them again.

  • I think the silver would work!  Her main colors are the Clover color (the BM dress color) and ivory.  The dusty rose is an accent color and yes, it looks realllllly good with the green :).  She wants us to carry pink-ish flowers so it will most likely be pink roses and star-gazer lilies.  I was also thinking that since it is June, we might be able to pull off a cute white sandal/heel of some sort.
  • I like the idea of silver with that color dress. I think it'll work really well, and should be easy for the girls to find something cute. That way, like Tania said, they can wear them again.

  • I like silver - I like shoe Tania posted. Or what about nude? It's such a popular color for shoes now. That way it wouldn't stand out much at all but it kind of a springy color.

    I agree 100% on nude shoes with that color scheme.

    Ooohhhh I really like those!  Was the heel very high?

  • My mind went straight to silver when I saw the dress.

     It is 4" so yeah, but they were super sexy heels for bridesmaids.

    This!  I like the shoes Tania posted.

    Also a pair of ivory colored sandals would be cute too since that is another color in the wedding.
