About Mrs. Toucan

I’m pretty sure the salespeople at Macy’s think I’m a crazy lady. I’m sure because of the sale they were running on the weekend they saw lots of ladies walking out with multiple pairs of shoes, but I’m pretty sure I was probably the only one walking out with multiple pairs of shoes all in the same shade of HOT PINK.

Though I did buy one pair for myself (the Carlos shoes), the rest were for my bridesmaids! A little unconventional, yes, because my bridesmaids are wearing BLUE! I’ve found that the color that I’ve chosen for my ladies is a little hard to match without getting dyed-to-match shoes. Even though I wasn’t crazy about the idea, I told them that wearing black shoes would probably be fine. Then, the Macy’s shoe sale happened (me + shoe sales = danger), and I thought… why try to match at all? Since hot pink/fuschia is my other wedding color (and I LOVE bold-colored shoes), I quickly picked up a few pairs of pink shoes and raced home to test out the combo.

Ta-da! Here I’m wearing my sister’s dress and the shoes I bought her:

Another view without my ugly couch in the background:

Probably not what most people think bridesmaid shoes should be, but I like it anyway! :) I love the sudden pop of color, and I think it will tie in more nicely when the girls are holding bouquets with matching pink ribbon wraps.

I’m a little afraid to ask, but I’ll ask anyway. What do you think? Would you do a bold bridesmaid shoe?

I think it’s a fun touch! especially when it’s in a color that coordinates with the rest of the wedding. A hot pink pashmina might be a really nice accent as well! And honestly speaking, as a bridesmaid, I’d be inclined to just go with whatever the bride wanted bar from her wanting me to walk down the aisle in my birthday or bathing suit.

my bridesmaids are all wearing bold-coloured shoes, and in different colours - purple, yellow and hot pink - with black/grey cocktail dresses. yay for non-traditional bridesmaids’ shoes!

I think it looks really good, and it connects your bridesmaids with you a little more with the matching shoes.

That could make a cool picture too.

Toucs: I love that combination! I saw it on Coren Moore bridesmaid dress and thought it was wonderful. Too late to change my colors now. :) Though I am making them wear hot pink dresses.

I told my one of my bridesmaids that I was thinking of having her wear a grey or silverish dress with bright red shoes. She wasn’t too thrilled with the idea. But unfortunitly for her I’m paying for the dresses and shoes. LoL. So she’ll wear what I buy her. Kidding, but for real she’s real hesitant at the idea.

I love the way that it looks and the extra pop of color to tie in your other wedding colors. The shoes are adorable and are sure to be a favorite that the girls will all wear again! Nicely done!

Nice combo but I don’t think I could wear bold bridesmaid shoe with the dress. I recently brought a navy dress and want to spice up the dress and shoes with different combo colors of apple Green, yellow or red shoes but my friend said it looks weird with those combo on a navy dress, so I took her advice to go with silver just to be on the safe side. I just don’t have guts!
