Sounds like a cover up to me. Maybe they can ship it directly to your bridesmaid so you don't have to make the 5 hour drive?
Your shoes sound very very cute!!! Colored shoes are really IN now. My shoes were 4 inch purple suede with a wine colored satin knot across the peep toe. They are gorgeous! I wore them ok for awhile but didn't try to dance in them, I changed into flip flops with a stacked heel for the reception.
One of my bridesmaids wore silver heels, the other one wore wine colored flats (she was super super pregnant!) One wore her hair up, the other wore her hair down. You can't imagine though, even though they were not the same, they look so good in pictures and I love how natural they look, pictures come out so good when the people in them are comfortable with themselves. You'll be happy you let your girls pick their own things because they will be happy!
