Found Shoes for the Bridal Party

Okay, for those of us who have been in a wedding OR have just worn the SUPER cute, strappy shoes for a LONG period of time, KNOW how painful they can be. When I went back to the boutique where we are purchasing the dresses from, Mia and I laid out three colors/shades of shoes: silver, gold and bronze.

PAUSE: No dyables will be found in my wedding. They HURT and I have YET to find a CUTE pair of them!

Resume: The silver was too cold with the pretty orange dress. The gold was........well, GOLD! Too bright. The bronze was PERFECT. Bronze is a warm color and it went SO well with the dresses.

Now, finding a CUTE shoe that comes in M and W widths and isn't costly. Here were the choices I laid out for the ladies:

Of course, everyone liked the FIRST one, but er, um.......thin straps=PAIN when standing for long periods of time. MOST of the ladies liked the top row (from left to right) in that order. A few commented that the middle shoe on the second row would probably be the most comfortable, but still stylish. Well, I chose that exact shoe and ordered them today for the ladies! It comes in M and W widths and came in 9.5 (a VERY hard size to find).

I am asking that the ladies walk around in the shoes a couple of months BEFORE the wedding to break them in, but not scuff them. I am satisfied with the choice of shoe.
