Help! I Need Shoes For My Bridesmaids

by Fab Community 34

Time to play stylist, ladies. Help Calichic4825 find shoes for her bridesmaids.

Hi! My wedding is in two months and I have yet to find shoes for the bridesmaids to wear with their dresses. Here is their Bebe dress. I need six pairs of the same shoe. If you can please give me websites, or simply tell me the color and style of shoe you would recommend. Thank you so much for the help ladies!


There are already a bunch of groups you can join and explore, and please — start some new ones! Here's a helpful guide to creating in case you need some clarification.

I also vote let them choose their own shoes, especially if you ask them to buy something that can easily look similar and are easy to find like a gold strappy sandal or a nude pump. I actually hate the whole "flipflops during the reception" thing - I'd much rather dance in a low, well-made heel that I chose and can wear again than a sloppy flipflop. I also hate being forced to buy and wear a pair of cheaply made uncomfortable heels - I don't shop at payless for a reason and I'd rather not be forced to dance in their shoes, but I know other people who wouldn't want to spend $200 on a pair of shoes and would much prefer a cheap option. Letting each bridesmaid choose just makes the process less annoying for everyone.

I agree with the people who suggested nude shoes. And, I don't see anything wrong with asking them all to wear the same shoe, but I would do a lower heel if you're planning on doing that; I always wear high heels, but I think some of the ones suggested by others have been too high. If even one of your girls doesn't like high heels, she'll look and feel uncomfortable when walking down the aisle. I also think black, deep purple, or silver would work. I'm not sure if you're already planning on this, but in all of the weddings I've been in (and most I've been to), the bride has gotten flip-flips for the bridesmaids to wear during the reception; always a nice touch! Recently, I went to a wedding where the bride got all of the girls silver Toms to wear during the reception, which was also nice.
The Rose Dress they have dyeable shoes for a fraction of the cost

Another vote for: let them choose their own shoe !! People have different shaped feet and some of your BMs may be really uncomfortable in the shoe you pick out - and really, nothing sucks more than being stuck in (1) an uncomfortable shoe (2) for an entire wedding (3) that you didn't pick out, and (4) were forced to pay for.
please do not force them to wear the same shoe. i wear a ladies size 4.5. wearing a larger size because the bride picked some shoe that didn't come in my size means a day full of discomfort and shoes that i will never wear again.
Check out MyGlassSlipper.com or BridalShoes.com! Your bridesmaids can choose their own shoes or you can pick the same one for them. There are tons of awesome styles on both sites!

I think it would be a good idea to either match the shoes to your wedding theme colors or to go with a metallic color if not black. But I agree with the other posters. They should be able to choose the shoe they'd like to wear but if you don't trust their judgment, ask them to show you first. NO skyscraper heels or old, banged up ones.
Have them wear assorted gold strappy shoes! Black (or any kind of pump) does not say summer wedding. There are a million different gold shoes that would look cute with that dress (they probably already have some in their closet, so they can save the expense) - plus people have different taste when it comes to heel height. Agree with others that say search shopstyle.com under gold sandals. Congrats!

If this dress is choice for them/i understood so/then you should be carefully about shoes/it could be sandal/;i prefer soft color/not black/maybe white with addition of an ornament /whatever it to be,flower or something other/in the same hue as dress.

not sure what your colors are for your wedding but you could have the girls wear pumps that match the other colors you've chosen. I'd avoid black silver or nude... too plain. I'd go with something that pops out like white, yellow or blue. But also something they can enjoy using other days besides the wedding.

Mismatched is fashionable. I always think coordinated looks really tacky. They're already wearing the same dress, so why not have the wedding party look a bit more fashionable and styled and have them wear different shoes? And, in my opinion, black, gold, silver, or nude are just boring. Go for a color.

i wouldn't let them choose their own shoes...it will end up looking mismatched when everyone would otherwise be looking polished...asking someone to buy a black or nude shoe under $100 is okay because they can be worn again!!

I agree with most posters. Let them choose there own shoes. Just give them a style and colour preference. If you really want a uniform look, maybe find one shoe you really like and ask that they find something similar but don't force them to buy one particular shoe. www.shopstyle.com is a really good resource for everything fashion related.

i think black suede heels would look great. I think its tacky when the bridesmaids were the typical metallic sandals. This dress has an edge so i think you should go with it and find shoes that will complement it.

ruby, those shoes are gorgeous! i just bought a pair for myself :)
Everyone who says let them chose their own is right. It makes a huge difference to have a say on at least one thing. But if you want a bit more control, or have someone with questionable taste, have them send you a pic of the shoes for approval.
You can get shoes dyed at Payless and they shouldn't be too expensive!

Silver strappy heels from Payless Shoes like those on the link below. Sexy, modern, inexpensive, and easy for your bridesmaids to pick up. http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?skuId=068706055&productId=64658&subCatId=cat10289&catId=cat10088&lotId=068706&category=&catdisplayName=Womens+

I'd say silver or black, and give them a style- open toed, strappy, whatever you prefer. then let them choose the exact shoe. you can even suggest a couple, to give them an idea of what to look for. I told my girls to wear whatever they wanted, and almost all of them wanted suggestions etc. That way they have an idea of what you are looking for but can find something in their own price range. I dont think black is too bad, especially if they are strappy, it will go great with that color and everyoen wears black, even in the summer. good luck!
please don't do black. much too dark for a pink dress, esp. at a wedding. do nude... like this: http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp?index=17&sort=&category=&prodId=203140&brand=300191&cm_mmc=affil-_-ShopStyle.com-_-main-_-main the ones the person above suggested are too clunky for a wedding.

Let them choose whatever they want. I guarantee that within days (maybe even hours), you will have no idea what shoes your bridesmaids wore.
