Matchy Shoes- Yay or Nay

Matching bridesmaid shoes fitting everyone's style may be hard to find. However, if you are a shoe diva or if your ladies are wearing tea-length or midi dresses, getting the perfect shoe may be a high priority. Before you pick out the shoes, you should keep a few things in mind when asking your bridal party to wear shoes of your choice:

• How much can my party afford to pay for shoes?
• Can everyone try on the shoes before ordering them?
• Is there anyone with a hard-to-find size, such as a 5 or 11.5?
• Will these shoes be wearable after the wedding?

Bridesmaids expects to pay for their dresses, hair, shoes etc. However, if you are requesting gold sandals with rhinestones and kitten heels, you may want to consider buying the shoes as a gift to the bridesmaids.

Finding a shoe that fits everyone's feet and feels comfortable can be a challenge if you have more than two or three people in your party, hence a bride to be has to consider mis-matching shoes.

Mis-matching bridesmaid shoes in same colour

If you decide to opt for mis-matching bridesmaid shoes, give out guidelines for buying shoes so that the color and style is similar. Guidelines to give your bridesmaids include:

• Closed or open toe shoes.
• Color (beige, red, silver, gold, peach etc)
• Heel height (no request at all, no stilettos, etc)
• Embellishments (rhinestones, glitter, extra straps okay, etc)
• Strappy, sling back.

Most bridesmaids prefer this option versus matching shoes, because they can pick out shoes they might wear again in a price range they can afford. Additionally, they can pick out shoes that are comfortable and fit their feet well.
