Wedding Gown Pantsuits
Wedding Shoes for your Bridesmaid Distinct or Matching
The great thing about planning your wedding is the number of choices you can choose, to have things the way you want. Yet, the more choices you have, the more overwhelming it is. That problem appears in selecting the bridesmaids' wedding shoes, just as it does everywhere else.
Must all the bridesmaids' shoes match one another? How similar to the bride's wedding shoes should they be? How are you ever going to decide? Here's an idea: let your gown theme be your guide.
Your wedding dress is unique. It won't match what the bridesmaids are wearing. On that special day, you are the main focus of attention and your gown reflects that. But bridesmaids dresses need not exactly match one another these days, either.
Your overall 'look' should be consistent. A pantsuit wedding at city hall is not the occasion for the bridesmaids to wear formal gowns. Even when you've decided to go formal, you still have to decide whether the bridesmaids gowns are cookie cutter or distinct.
One good choice is to have a design that is overall similar, but different in small touches. Going shoulderless for the bridesmaids gowns? A great look, especially if the wedding gown is similar. Have you selected floor length or long train for the wedding gown? The bridesmaids' dresses will always lack that Cinderella train, but can be Civil War gown-length, or post modern short.
Now add individual touches, a blue ribbon accent for one, pink for another.
At this point you may we wondering why we are focusing on the dresses when we're trying to select shoes? Here lies the answer. After all that taxing effort to select your gown selections, don't do double work and tear your hair out over the shoes. Let them be as similar, or as different, as the gowns themselves.
Fabrics for shoes, for example, no longer need to match the bridal or bridesmaids dresses exactly. But they should not stick out either. Subtle contrast is good. Appearing like a sore thumb draws too much attention to what should only complement the dress: your shoes.
Satin shoes may be a good match with your dress. Many bridal shoe designs are available in satin. They'll reflect more light than crepe shoes. But if you choose satin for the bridal wedding shoes, select crepe for the bridesmaids' to keep the attention to where it should be.
Now consider color.
Dyeable shoes are an choice not only for the bridal shoes, but also for the bridemaid's shoes. Found just the design you like, but the color is wrong? You can have them professionally dyed and you will have shoes that match the gown perfectly, or have just the subtle contrast you want.
For example, a bold burgundy for the bridal shoes. That will appear great under a cream wedding gown. Now use the same color, but go for a shade or two lighter for the bridesmaids' shoes. The same, but different. The focus remains on you, but the bridesmaids are coordinated.
That's the very definition of win-win in wedding shoes.

Grandmother of the bride apparel?
Is it ok for the Grandmother of the bride to wear a dark navy blue pantsuit to a 4 pm wedding in Kansas in May. Diamond earrings and necklace. Husband will wear dark grey suit. Bridesmaids will be dressed in pink gowns.
Evening reception the same attire.?? Thank You.
My biggest concern is, will Grandma be comfortable? If the answer is yes than go for it.
That sounds perfect. Actually they sound like they make a beautiful couple.
Sometime we need to put things into perspective. You are are very lucky to have you Grandmother here to be able to see her Granddaughter walk down the isle.
