Bridesmaids Shoes - All the same or not?

I told my ladies to buy shoes that were gold.

I figured they would pick shoes within their own budget and style, and hopefully wear again. If you're on the fence, it is always considerate to think of your bridesmaids' comfort and budget.

I had to buy shoes for a wedding I was in, and the style she picked out didn't fit when I ordered it, so I had to buy a second pair. I will not wear either pair again because they're not my style.

My both my MOH will have on the same shoes that are different from my BM. My BM are all wearing the same shoes. They will all have long dresses.

They are wearing any pair of black shoes that look fine with the navy blue dress I picked out.

Every pair of shoes I've gotten as a BM I have absolutely disliked and have brought to Goodwill the next week. My feet are very hard to please; even a new pair of shoes per year is hard for me to come by. Shoes are the most defining aspect of comfort, and I want my BMs to feel at ease while they stand up for me.

They are all gonna be different shoes but the same color since their dresses are long. At one point, I wanted short BM dresses and then they HAD to have all the same shoes but now I am going with long one's so it doesn't matter too much. Still going to drive me bananas that they are not all the same but oh well!

Since mine are all wearing long dresses I'm letting them pick. Might tell them to stick to silver, but haven't decided yet.

I am just having all of my girls wear the same color shoes. we haven't decided what color that will be yet tho.

I asked them to wear silver sandals, but no particular style required.

I am having my girls pick out their own shoes. They just have to be nude. My main concern is that my friends are happy and comfortable. I am pretty sure 99% of the people at my wedding will not even notice their shoes.

My girls are al wearing long chiffon dresses from Davids bridal in the color iris. I let them choose whatever style they liked (halter, strapless, one shoulder etc). I want them all to wear silver shoes an they can get whatever they want. Because they are long dresses people want see them anyway.

I wanted mine to match so i paid for them. They consented to wear what i picked. Compromise.

No, don't force them to have the same shoes. Some people have foot issues (ie. high arches) so they need specific shoes, some sizes are hard to find, some hate wearing heels, some don't like wearing flats, comfort is a huge factor and it's highly unlikely that one shoe will be comfortable for multiple women. Also, if you require the same shoes then you must pay for it (same with make-up and jewelry). Just specify a certain colour or let them wear whatever they want. No one cares anyways.

2 of my girls said they wanted to wear silver, so I asked my other BM to choose silver too, but other than that, I don't really care. They'll all be in some sort of silver sandal I assume!

My daughters are the same but the bridesmaids are different.

I just told my girls to wear gold shoes heels. I don't really care what they look like, as long as they are comfortable in them.

I've been in 4 weddings and 3 of them I got to pick out my shoes as long as they were the same color the dresses were tea length and everyone looked great and I was comfortable the one wedding I had to buy a certain shoe I payed over $60, for them and they were almost stiletto length. The shoes lasted all.of 10 min on my feet once the reception started. I let them pick out a shoe but set guide lines I.e color and style such as no wedges or toes have to be covered etc

My BP are all wearing different shoes in the same color with the same theme. They are all sparkly and silver. I love that their individual personalities will shine through the details

Back when mastodons roamed the land, I was in a wedding where the bride insisted on matching shoes. Unfortunately, she picked shoes that didn't even come in my size (I'm a 5.5, the shoes were 6-10) and could not understand why I wouldn't just toddle down the aisle in ill-fitting stilettos. I finally found something similar in the same color, but it was pretty wacky there for a minute.

So I'm a believer in not dictating the exact shoe. Like doeydo said, not every shoe will work on every foot. It's better to pick a brand and color, or just a color, and let the girls run with it.

My girls are in long dresses so they can choose shoes that are comfortable for them

I'm doing different because I want my girls to feel comfortable. My sister is 6'1" and hates heels, but I also have a BM who wears heels every day so I just let them choose but they should send me pics beforehand so I can make sure the silvers will look good together.

My girls are in long dresses, so I just told them to pick whatever shoes in gold. They show me when they buy them so I can make sure the gold is the right shade that will compliment the dress. I also am all about showing their personality, so I'm not about being streamlined. All their dresses are the same but can be styled 16 different ways and I asked them to all wear it different.

If we all chose a dress that was shorter and all exactly the same, I would have asked it to be different still.
