Flower Girl Shoes... Help!

Those of you who read my blog regularly may remember the picture of our flower girl dresses from this post. The dress is a very simple silhouette with a dark pink sash around the waist. As of now, the only other accessory that I have for each of them is a headband bow that matches the sash. Those are the only pink things that I have them wearing. Lately, I have been doing some online shopping for their shoes and have discovered that a lot of little girls' shoes are... well... kind of hideous. Not only am I striking out when finding something that is somewhat stylish, but also I am worried that I will buy shoes that don't match their dresses, and it will look weird. So, I am considering the idea of pink shoes for the flower girls, so they would kinda match me and my pink shoes. I am a real sucker for colored shoes with a white dress, plus pink shoes would ensure that the dress and the shoes aren't a huge clashing mess. Here are some options :

Those are just a few of the cuter options that I have found. For some reason, I really like the idea of them wearing simple pink flats. I'm just not into big buckles and straps and sequins and stuff like that. I also feel like they would get a lot more use out of cute shoes like these. Especially the older flower girl. Total diva!

So, as far as the whole flower girl shoe issue, what do you think of the idea of pink shoes? I wish I could find some pictures online of flower girls in pink shoes, but I keep coming up empty. Since we all know that I'm not a shoe person, any help, advice or better options would be greatly appreciated!

A Surprise for our Flower Girl

Ryan and I have known all along that we wanted to ask his littlest sister, Kayla, to be our flower girl. Since she lives in San Diego, we knew that we would have to wait a long time before we could ask her in person. She and I have been very close since Ryan and I met each other, so I wanted to so something special for her. Although she hasn't met him yet, she LOVES our dog, Carter. She even wrote him a letter in the mail... it was adorable! So, to ask her to be our flower girl, I came up with this:

The picture is kind of hard to read from here, but it says "Kayla, Will you be our Flower Girl" and then our names. I got an unfinished frame from Michael's, along with the flower, bride and groom cutouts. I painted it all and hot glued it together. Carter and I had a little photo shoot to take the picture and he actually did really well! He really needs to be a dog model! haha.. So anyway, I packaged it up and sent it off to San Diego. She called us this morning and told me how much she loved it and that she would love to be our flower girl. She also told me she "covered the frame up so it doesn't get dirty" which I thought was really cute! She is a true girly girl and I am hoping she can use this frame for a picture after the wedding. Here is a picture that Ryan's Mom emailed me of Kayla with her frame!

Isn't she the cutest little blond haired, blue-eyed California girl? And, as you can see... the dimples definitely run in the family!
