Colored shoes with your wedding gown. A Tacky or Fashionable Trend?

Brides.com

So I found the wedding gown of my dreams!  The order is in and the dress will be here by next month.  Ahhh... the excitement!  It is beautiful.  You know how they say, "when you try on the one, you just know it?  Well that's so true! I found the dress.  It was a little over budget, but when my mom saw the gleam in my eye and the smile on my face while I gazed at myself in the mirror, she couldn't say no.  I knew it was the one when I realized I had been standing in front of the mirror for almost 10 minutes.  I had no intentions of taking it off.  


With the dress ordered and paid for, my next task is to find the shoes.  While the shoes aren't nearly as important, I want to be sure that I get a pair that compliments the dress, but that's also comfortable for a long day on my feet (not to mention I will be dancing the night away).  I've also noticed a trend on colored wedding shoes.  It sounds crazy, but when I saw pictures, I absolutely fell in love with the idea.  I've even heard of using the shoes as your "something blue".  What a cute idea.  Or being the girly-girl, pink fanatic that I am, I could choose pink dresses for the bridesmaids and have my shoes coordinate with their dresses and tie it all into my color theme.  


Although, I feel like this concept will only appear fashionable, rather than tacky, if your dress is more of a simple chic style.  My particular dress has so much detail, that colored shoes would make it way too busy.  I don't want the shoes to clash or take away from my dress.  So I think it's safe to say that if the dress is simple, then you can get more creative with the shoes.  But if the dress is busy already, then it's probably safer to go with a more plain, yet elegant shoe.  


What are your thoughts on the new trend of wearing colored shoes with your wedding gown?  Is it just plain tacky or a fashionable revolution in wedding tradition?
