What Shoes Should A Bridesmaid Wear?
Whether you're the bride-to-be picking out the perfect pair of dream shoes for your bridesmaids, or you're a bridesmaid shopping for your own, it's highly important you pick a pair that you can wear time and time again. There's no use slipping into shoes that will only see the light of day once in their life, and get stashed away into your closet for the rest of eternity. From kitten heels, to stilettos and block heel sandals, it'll be more economical if you choose a neutral pair you'll be able to wear for other occasions. In this regard, it might serve every bridesmaid better if you, as a bride-to-be let them pick out their own footwear. You might have picked their bridesmaid dresses for them, but let them say "I do" to their own shoes according to their personal style. Perhaps it's best to suggest shades of shoes that stay close to the wedding palette you've picked for your big day. If you stick to neutrals, you're more likely to slip into the pair for date nights, parties and dinners - so while those bright, neon pink kitten heels might seem incredibly indulgent, you'll be better off with a neutral-toned pair.
You'll be playing it safe and have it worth your while. If your wedding theme is warm, jewel tones then metallic, gold heels would be perfect. If you've got a summer wedding with pastel shades, then silver heels are the one. However, the popular go-to colours most brides ask their bridesmaids to choose are usually nude, ivory, champagne, cream - a number of tones you can't go wrong with! Neutral shades like these go with everything, and these classic, effortless heels will couple well with all future outfits beyond the wedding too. Bear in mind, heel height is also vital - you don't want your bridesmaids stumbling and falling as they walk down the aisle! Opt for comfortable heels like classic pumps, lace-ups and other fancy silhouettes that won't serve as hindrance to dancing the night away!
