jmango · Dooney & Bourke

i couldn't find any with pink AND green and a tan bottom, but i found these- hth? somehow i don't feel like they have the right tone though

$19.50 at american eagle

good luck!

thought- if your dress is ivory, maybe the bridemades could go with these?

I personally don't think the JCrew ones would look bad with either pink or green silk dresses...the bottoms are actually navy...yes it's a really dark navy, but I really like navy (better than black IMO) with both pink and green.

There is also a decent selection of Eliza B's on Ebay...most run $24.99...a little over your budget but if you are set on the tan sole it might be worth it to you. Maybe you could work a quantity discount with a seller?....

Not ribbon, but really cute and only $9.99 at Ann Taylor Loft

From Ebay... you can also get them monogrammed with an initial. The seller only listed 2 pairs but you should contact her if to see if she has more available.

Jmango-I agree about the AE one's not quite being it. I am leaning towards white for my dress, but those could still work! Thanks for looking!

Sweatergirl-I agree with the Jcrew being too dark, they had some with a woven bottom that was tan and light pink with green seahorses, would have been perfect! I will check out e-bay, I can go over the $20, just not the retail price of $48 for Eliza B. for 7 girls.

SFC- Those delias ones might be really cute! I like the pink ones! I also was thinking Reef might be really practical for the girls, they only will be wearing them at the reception. I have some white ones that I will be getting my new monogram on, I think I will have a white dress b/c ivory tends to drown me out. Oh and those ebay ones are cute, but the flops are from Payless last year, so I don't know if they would be able to get more, but I can try!

Thanks to all of you! I really appreciate it a lot!

Chic...I think they have a few of those woven JCrew ones on the web site....size 8 and 9 are showing...maybe you could call customer service to see if they could locate other sizes.

sweatergirl- I am all over that tommorrow. I also re-read your post and see that you were actually saying the navy would work, the guys are wearing navy blazers so I am going to hit a store up tommorrow. Thank you!
