My Something Blue

So, I have decided I want blue shoes for my wedding...I am going to do the whole something old, something new (well, alot new), something borrowed, something blue thing...so, as I alluded to it, I have the new covered, and my something blue will be my shoes. I am torn right now though about what shade to dye my shoes.  I love all the blue shoes I have seen, and I already have purchased my dyeable shoes, so now I just need to commit to the right shade.  Here are my 3 favorite colors right now....



I am loving the navy right now, but since the colors are black, ivory, and silver, I wasn't sure if navy would work. The bright blue on the bottom right is awesome, but has a hint of lavender or lilac in it, and I am worried if they get the shade wrong, will I have pastel purple shoes?!?! And the 3rd option is kind of finky, which I love, so it may win out, but I am thinking the subdued navy at the top is the front runner.  Any thoughts?

As for the borrowed and old pieces, I am not sure yet...I have some old hankies from my great-grandmothers, and I am thinking I may use it to wrap my bouquet.  I also thought I might be able to borrow a necklace from my grandmother that I adore.  It is two diamond circles that are interlocked, and so it looks like two rings interlocked and also happens to be the inifinity symbol.  And I may claim my hair clip as my something old too- although it is new to me, it is made from a vintage brooch...it counts, right?

So, I am talking to the cake lady later today...should be fun!  So, an update on cake should be coming soon!
