Poll: BM Shoes. Help!

[kevsgirl]

Ok, so I'm having trouble deciding on shoes for my 2 BMs... they're my sisters and they want me to get their shoes. I've also ended up buying their dresses due to having not enough time to order them and I was the one who got in touch with the warehouse.

All this to say that I've already spent $500 more than I'd budgeted and now I'mg etting their shoes. I love shoes and I'm having a hard time balancing the budget and what I think will look good. I'm being cheap, but it's hard with shoes!

 

What is your favorite shoe to go with this dress? The dress is in Lipstick (kind of a berry pink) and the sash is the same colour as the dress. I've chosen silver colour shoes, but I'm flexible.

 

A) Platform (Logan) 3.2" heel. $54

 

T-strap (Anneka) 3" heel $48

 

C) Sadie (lower heel, but not sure how high) $25 on sale

 

D) Kenneth Cole $25

 

I think the last one, because it has no bling I might be able to glue a few rhinestones onto the straps...

 

Thanks!

I like the lower heel because of the design... only thought now is .. they might be itchy... shoes with designs like that on me itch me to no end.. OK sooo maybe I am no help.. LOL

so wait- you wound up having to buy the dresses b/c they didnt order them are they paying you back i would try to have them pay you back if that wasnt the original plan. $500 plus is a lot of $ if it wasn't planned in your budget..

 

i vote for the kenneth cole shoes, and their one of the most reasonable ;o) btw i LOVE the bm dresses. the color sounds so pretty. cant wait to see pics!

Oh crap, I just went back to check the prices on my choice and I was only going to pick #2 or #1 and they are of course the most expensive. But those are my picks and I stand behind them.

 

But I agree with Jac, will you be gettig your $ back from the girls? I bought my BM dresses as well, but none of them had a problem paying me back. It was just easier for me to order since I was having them shipped from various places...

I picked the platforms but I would also go with the t-strap ones too. Love the dress BTW!

I'm stressed about it... but they're my sisters and they're younger than me. One is flying from Australia and I think both have to pay their own flights... though my father was going to help them. I think both got their rooms paid for though.
I just feel guilty b/c I know they're already paying so much.
But so are we!

I think I'm just going to leave it to them. I sent them the invoice, so they know how much they cost.

It was a mixture of them taking too long to choose, then me taking too long to choose the colour once they'd liked and tried on the dress I finally chose for them. Standard.

Anyway, my fav shoes are actually #3. My mom doesn't like them and I'm woried my sisters won't either, but really if I'm paying for it, tough!

i totally hear you. its hard b/c they are your sisters. well, maybe mention it to them or your dad in conversation & see what happens. but its def not worth a fight or tension ya know. hopefully it will all work itself out.

 

i think #3 are cute. they are reasonable too, so if i were you, i'd get them if thats what you like. and IF anyone says anything about it you can just say "I bought them ;o) "

I would have voted for the Kenneth Coles or the ones with the lower heel, but that single narrow strap across the toe can be so excruciatingly painful - especially if it's warm and your feet puff up.

 

Personally, I don't like platforms, especially when I'm dancing, so I'm voting for the T-strap.

I did mention it to my mother and she said "think of how they have to buy their tickets"... or something that effect! How about thinking of paying for a $10K wedding Oh well. I will suck it up and deal. I am so happy they're coming and we'll all have a great time. They've been wonderful (BMs) so far.

I like it!!! Thanks, J!

I love #1 and would totally wear those with MY wedding dress. Where did you find them? Anyhoo, I voted for #1 because I think they would look really cute with that dress too. Good luck!
