Q. Hi Jordan,
I am writing because I need your help! I am in a friend’s wedding in July and we need help picking a shoe color for all the bridesmaids. The dresses are an ebony color:
Her “main” color is a mustardy yellow…Now, should we go with the soft black or neutral color, or should we try to find a color that will “pop”? We thought an eggplant color would look nice, but we live in Minnesota and the bride does NOT want it to look like we are attending a Vikings game =) Any advice or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Jordan!
– Ashley
A. Hey Ashley!
My favorite idea: go for dusty rose shoes in a slightly retro shape with some super-feminine detailing, to pick up on the vibe of the dress (I love the idea of a rose/mustard combo). I also threw a bright-pink pair in here in case you want even more contrast.
Clockwise from top left: Nina Evelixa in Tea Rose Satin ($89.99); Badgley Mischka in Rose ($215; oof, I know – but they’re too beautiful not to show you); Steve Madden Fifi in Pink ($99.95); Audrey Brooke Rosette Pump ($59.95); Audrey Brooke Estella Pump ($44.95); SM Boukay Platform Pump ($89.95).
Another pretty combo is ebony, mustard, and blue. Go for a pure robin’s-egg blue or a bright teal for a daytime/garden wedding; go slightly darker – like the Nine West pumps – if you want a more formal, evening-appropriate look.
Clockwise from top left: Patrizia Pepe High-Heeled Sandals ($195); RSVP Ivana Blue Satin ($66.75); Audrey Brooke Madia Pump ($59.95); Bottega Sky-Blue Sandals ($165); Nine West Joanne Pump ($59.95); Audrey Brooke Estella Pump ($44.95).
If you decide to go with a neutral shade, I’d pick nude or silver – both go with just about everything, and both can of course be worn to countless post-wedding events, so the other bridesmaids will thank you :).

Have fun!
