Bridesmaid attire help!!!

The bridesmaids are wearing burgundy dresses, with a groomsmaid wearing a navy dress and we had decided on silver shoes, so i was going to get silver jewelry. This was decided in January NBD. Well one of my bridesmaids doesn't want silver shoes as they are having a hard time finding shoes in there size.

So i guess my question is do i just say fine we can change to gold or nude?? I really like the silver and burgundy, but maybe it doesn't look good🤷‍♀️. If they have gold shoes then should i change the style of jewelry? I think the silver jewelry looks so classy and nice with the burgundy. I am such a visual person and we dont have the dresses yet to compare.

Any help or advice would be great!!!

Thank you,

If the dresses are long, the shoes won't be terribly visible. I would say just let them wear what works for them in their size - and keep the jewelry silver

Honestly I would just have them all wear whatever shoes they want! Are they in floorlength dresses? If so, people probably won't even notice their shoes. 2 of my bridesmaids are wearing silver shoes, 1 is wearing nude, and 1 tore her ACL and will be wearing whatever orthopedic shoes she can find hahaha

My girls are wearing burgundy and I've asked if they would wear nude colored shoes - they go with pretty much anything

It's entirely up to you. I am also surprised that they cannot find silver shoes in their size. Silver is a pretty common shoe color. However, as others have said, if they are floor length dresses, no one will notice their shoes. The jewelry also does not have to match the shoes.

Have the others found shoes yet? Mine have floor legnth burgundy dresses and I’m telling them to wear gold or nude heels, I think if she can’t find silver, let her do another color, but curious to know where she has been looking because al I can find are silver dress shoes.

What are the other bridesmaids doing for shoes? Can't this one get her shoes where the others got theirs?
If the shoes won't show (floor length dresses), then it's not as big of a deal. But if the shoes will show (shorter dresses), then I think it's important for them all to have the same color, at least for pictures. Silver shoes are actually pretty common. I'm not sure why she's having a hard time, unless she has a really unusual size, or foot type.
Maybe you can help her find them. Google "women's silver shoes" to see what hits you get. Or check David's Bridal, as they seem to have every wedding shoe known to man.

This is what I was thinking. Silver should be easier to find than gold (my girls are wearing gold shoes and they definitely became harder between me researching and choosing the color and girls going out and buying them). If she really can’t find silver shoes I would just let her pic something else. If the dresses are long the shoes won’t be noticeable.

Hi Stephanie! What shoes did your bridesmaid get in the end? Are they all sorted with shoes?

Personally I would go with gold, but you could go with a non-metallic neutral and it would work out great.
