POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

I was thinking of having my BM's wear the same shoes as I am, but in a different color...

I just told them to buy silver sandals, so they will be all different.

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

I refuse to make my BMs wear the same shoes as me or each other. I have issues with my feet that do not permit me to wear high heeled or narrow shoes. Some prefer high and some prefer low. If a bride ever made me wear a show that made me uncomfy, I would be incredibly disappointed in her. The only request that I made of my BP was a closed toe dyeable. I am getting married in the winter and open toe is a no-no

I let them pick out what was most comfortable for them! They all had to be matching color.. I said white b/c it still looked good, you didn't see them anyway, they didn't need to be dyable shoes and didn't need to be dyed..

I think it saved everyone a lot of grief.

I am telling the girls to wear whatever shoes they want in silver. As long as they are happy I don't care.

I would only ask them to wear similar shoes if the dresses were tea length but still not identical shoes.

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

All my girls picked out their own shoes but they will be dyed the same color. I felt that even though a shoe might be comfortable to me it might not be to any one else in my bridal party plus i have a shorter girl who likes to wear higher heals. I just wanted everyone to be comfortable. The only way I would maybe do the same shoes for all the girls is if the bm dress was tea length

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

honestly i think it's cheesy when everyone looks exactly the same--same jewelry, shoes, hair, etc...or any combination of those.

i will let them pick out their own silver shoes. no dyeables because if it rains the color will run.

i can only wear low heels and if someone made me wear certain shoes i would be pissed.

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

They are wearing tea length gowns so they will probably be getting matching shoes. Actually 4 of the 5 girls already picked out a matching shoe they all like - so I don't think it will be a problem (very low heel, flip flop strap with rhinestones - very low key and simple).

Mine will most likely be different....probably have a bit higher heel

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

I told my BMs whatever dyeable sandal is comfortable for them.

I never thought of that but it is a great idea. We are all getting ready inside and everything else is inside too. If weather permits (i.e. no snow/sleet/slush on the ground) then we may sneak outside for one or two pictures, but this isn't typically done in my family with Temple functions.

This is what I did. Looked great!

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

I told them to get whatever they like, as long as they were open-toed--which was no problem with them.

I know two of my BM's got the same shoe, b/c they went together, everyone else will be a bit different, which is fine w/ me.

They in fact did have different shoes, dresses and hairstyles and all looked very much like they were in my BP and it saved a lot of drama.

My girls dresses are red. I told them all to wear gold strappy shoes

That is what the bride asked of us at the last wedding i was in and it was greatly appreciated!!!

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

All I ask is that they be comfortable. I could not imagine telling them what shoes to wear...

ummm...I should say... The skirts are so long that shoes will not really show at all. I do think if they wore cocktail length dresses, etc they should match or be somewhat similar.

whew....

Re: POLL: Bridesmaid Shoes

They are wearing different shoes. I requested a closed toe dyeable shoe - I left the heel height or lack there of up to them as well as style (backless, strapy, whatever). So long as they are comfortable, I am all good. They are also doing what ever makes them happy with their hair and makeup, but they all got the same pink chiffon dress.
