Too blingy for a wedding?

My sister is getting married in November and although she hasn't picked out a dress yet for us girls (we'll be doing that this weekend), she's leaning towards brown as a color.

I was thinking about ordering these shoes "just in case", but are they too showy???

Creme/Brown


Tan/Brown


(I already own them in Denim & Lettuce and love the shoes...they're so much prettier in person.)

I have to buy shoes when I find them b/c being a size 12, it's difficult to find shoes when I need them. Zappos offers a 365 day return policy, so should I decide they don't go or I find a different pair, I can return them.

My biggest concern is that since I'm the MOH, I don't want to look like I'm trying to upshow the bride.

So, too blingy for a MOH???

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I like them. I think they are fine. Ask your sister what she thinks about them.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I Love them

My bridesmaids were brown too

I was going to ask them to get any kind of strappy gold/jewel heel they wanted, but in the end the opted to wear closed toe

So no, I don't think it will be too showy for a MOH. The bride will look gorgeous regardless and you def need to have the hottest shoes

She'll probably want you to get them!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I don't think they are the best choice for a November wedding.. they look too summery to me. Sorry

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I really think it depends on the dress you are wearing....they do seem a littel summery to me also

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I love them!!
get them!!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I don't think so at all..I have shoes that are VERY blingy..I love flashy shoes with a simple, elegant dress!!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Gorgeous!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Beautiful!

I don't think they are too blingy.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

def not. and i also dont think theyre too "summery".
I'd order them, if anything, you can return them.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

too blingy? am i missing something? they seem subdued and elegant to me

buy them!! you can always return them

you should definitely buy them since you are a 12 and that size isnt exactly easy to find

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Shoes can never be too blingy!! If you like them, get them!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I really like them, I don't think they are too blingy @ all

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I love them!! Since you already love the style/brand and you found a size 12, I would get them. You can always return them or save them for another time. There is absoluely no way the MOH's shoes can upshow the bride. Congrats to your sister!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

On the list of things people can do to upstage a bride, blingy shoes never even made an appearance! Inappopriate dress, overdone hair, crazy makeup, exessive alcohol consumption - all there! But not shoes. I say get them!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

I don't think they are too blingy in the least bit. Very elegant! If you don't end up getting a brown dress for the wedding, they are still nice shoes to wear!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Get them even if you dont wear them to the wedding they are great.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Not at all! I love them! My only concern would be it too cold for a November wedding.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Thanks everyone!!!! I ordered them.

I just didn't know if I should stick with wearing a dyeable type shoe, since they tend to be more understated. (I may have to anyway if neither one of these colors go well with the gown.)

And I'm not too concerned about wearing open toe shoes/sandals in the fall/winter. That never bothered me weather wise, nor have I ever considered it a faux pas for special occasions.

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

nahhh i think this is a much better choice than the dyables....so "match-y matchy" & 1980's!!! lol
If the dresses are brown, I would definately go w/this shoe, or if for some reason these dont work, another "goldish" one!

Not too blingy - very cute!

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

i think they are great
not to blingy at all

Re: Too blingy for a wedding?

Well, we picked out the BM's dresses on Saturday and of course naturally because I placed the order already...we're wearing Black now.

At least it's a decent gown:


I ordered these:

we'll see how they look in person.
