    Hi ladies.... first time I've used this so it could be a bit ropey! I got engaged in September and the wedding is booked for June 2014 so i'm sorted for venue etc my main issue at this moment is finding my shoes! I am having a rainbow wedding and I really have no idea where I would find the same shoe in 5 different colours for myself and bridesmaids- does anyone have any idea where I should look?? I'm hopeless with google so some straightforward advice would be FANTASTIC! Please and thank-you! :)

    You could get plain ones and then dye them different colours?

    It depends what your price range it, style you want and actual colours. Something cheaper would be prim@rk - they have lots of the same styles in different colours - I'm afraid I cannot help with 'designer' shoes as I am a very tight bride!

    if it was me i would use one of the bridal shoe sites that offer a dyeing services. That way i could pick the same shoe and have different colours they will either match them to your colour swatch or use one of there standard colours. you could even buy the shoes from the sales and they will still dye them for you. Do you have a style of shoe in mind i think i have just about serched all the shoe sites so i dont mind looking for a few pictures for you if you know what sort you want x

    I'm having the same trouble Rachael! We're having a mad hatter theme so everything is going to be bright colours & my BMs are going to have bright coloured flowers & their shoes will match, but I can't find one pair of shoes in lots of different bright colours! Never thought of dying them though, I wouldn't dare in case it went wrong! .. I would suggest Prim@rk too as I got some lovely, glittery shoes from there for £15!! xx

    hello, I saw shoes and just had to comment :D
    There is a sight that you can custom make your own shoes, I shall post a link on your wall when I get a chance.
    You can also get shoe clips so get a plain pair and jazz it up that way
    Or like everyone suggests dying your shoes, although this can be quite tricky so you may want to have a few practice runs first

    I used to work in a wedding shop and know that the brand 'rainbow' will dye shoes to match swatches so if you have different coloured bridesmais dresses you can send off a swatch of each and get the shoes dyed the same colour. I hope that this helps :)

    Etsy is great.... You can search for shoes, and choose your style heel height, appliqué detail and colour, and they dye them, they offer a service where they will send you an undyed pair to try you send them back and they dye them of you want. Parisxox is what to look for on etsy

    If you go to 'my details' then at the bottom, chose the option to make your profile public, then people can post helpful links to your wall & add you as a friend etc :) xx
