I really like the Target shoes–super cute–and I think they’d look great with tea-length dresses. However, check with your bridesmaids. A pair of gold strappy sandals are something that would go with a lot of things and they may be ok with paying a little bit more.

I’m letting my 2 girls choose whatever they want! One suffers from chronic pain in her leg, so she’ll likely wear flats or low heels, and the other is my 17-year-old cousin who is way more fashion-forward than I am - and I don’t really care if they’re all matching or not - it’s not a priority for me!

All of those shoes you posted look really cute!

9 West had some. But one reviewer said they weren’t good for dancing. Good price at $69

I like the Target ones.. get them before they sell out. Even if you change your mind.

I want my girls to wear gold shoes too, but i gave them the option of wearing their own gold shoes. But i would like to find them ones that are cute with a shorter heel so they can be comfortable. let me know if you have any ideas. those target ones are cute. might have to go try them on. thanks for the info!

I like the Target ones BETTER than the ridiculously-expensive ones (I’d die if I spent that much on a pair of shoes!). But really, I think the Target ones are cuter and I think they’d look perfect.

I told my girls, who are wearing knee-length dresses, to pick the gold strappy sandals of their choice. No one is going to notice your bridesmaids’ feet, and if they do they won’t care if they’re wearing different shoes as long as they’re all somewhat similar. Let them pick their own!

i’m doing gold strappy sandals for my bmaids as well…I came across these and I realized I actually have a pair of them too (diff color)…and they are okay comfort-wise

The Target shoes are fantastic! If you have a Loehmann’s or Loehmann’s Shoes you’d find some fantastic shoes. I got BCBG sandals in gold for my wedding shoes … only $70! You could just let each girl pick their shoes with a few “suggestions” as each girl’s feet are unique and one style that may work for most may not work for all or be comfortable with a particular heel height. You could compile a list of what you think would be the perfect shoes of varying prices and let the girls pick their individual shoe. If the dresses are matching then different shoes could be their way of being unique to themselves. It’s ultimately up to you.

They are super cute, but shoes are very specific. What is comfortable to one person could cause excrutiating pain in the next. I would pick a color, give them the pictures you’ve found, and have them choose thier own. NO ONE will notice the bridesmaids’ feet - they will be too busy looking at you!

Also, as someone who has been a bridesmaid 12 times in 12 different pairs of shoes - I always had more fun at the weddings where I got to choose my own shoes!

I had all my girls have the same shoes to coordinate with their dresses. I gave them the links and everything. Luckily for me, in the planning process the price went down.

Chose a dress and let them choose their shoes. I didn’t specify color or cut. I figured my BMs have been successfully dressing themselves for years, so even choosing the dress was a little weird for me.

My dresses were also tea-length.

The target ones are cute but I would be afraid of them hurting the feet of your bridesmaids. I had to wear the most uncomfortable shoes for a weading once and that is all I can remember from being in that wedding.

Those Target shoes are cute! I think they’d look adorable with a tea length dress, but maybe you should check out the material to see if it would go with the dresses.

target shoes may be uncomfortable though. you don’t want your maids to have blisters do you? amazon is a good place to look (charles david has a cheap line of shoes), also check zappos by price and color.

I let the bridesmaids pick the style of the shoes and I told them the color. I thought it was easier and brings their individual styles to it.

have you tried aerosoles and naturalizer.com? target is good but i am not sure how comfy they get for the girls to wear all day…but the design is pretty

Nine west usually has some cute shoes. In fact I found these:

Miss Raspberry, I wore gold shoes as a BM just this past wknd- our dresses were floor-length though, so the bride didn’t care if we didn’t have matching shoes. But even if your girls are wearing tea-length dresses, I think mismatched shoes are fine. Shows individuality (after a couple hrs, everyone started to look alike. seriously. it was eerie). And none of us spent more than $80 on our shoes! I saw some nice ones at Macys and Aldos for waaay less than the shoes you posted, and just as beautiful too!

I just told them “bronze & strappy” and the picked their own. (Final approval by me.)

It seems a bit much to me to ask your bridesmaids to wear the exact same shoes of your choosing. Everyone understands matching bridesmaid dresses, but possibly having to wear an uncomfortable pair of shoes just so your feet are also an exact match? And then what, they take them off and wear flipflops for the reception? I don’t understand that mindset. Why not just get pretty and comfortable shoes for the entire wedding day? Or does that make too much sense? There are shoes out there like that, I bought such a pair from Perfect Details.com. There are so many pairs of gold strappy sandals out there, let your bridesmaids choose like the adults they are. BTW, the Target shoes are cute, but I bet they’re really uncomfortable. Generally, you get what you pay for.

wow 43 comments! sorry they were held in moderation for some unknown reason.

those target shoes are super cute!

My friend initially said we could choose from a few different styles from Ann Taylor, but all in the same fabric and color. Now, she’s making us all wear the same style AND wants us all to wear the same exact shoes. I’ve been a bridesmaid many times and I’ve never been ‘made’ to wear a certain shoe. The shoe she picked is a little sandal with one tiny strap going across the front. I don’t have what you’d call ‘delicate’ feet and my toes are very long. Those shoes just look awful on my feet!!! She’s almost insisting that the shoes have to be the same, but we’re in our mid 30’s for goodness sake!! What to do??!!!

Hello!

I am trying to find shoes to go with the dress I picked out for the bridesmaid:

I was thinking maybe a gold strappy sandal. But I need at least three different styles in the same hue so they match. One of the girls has to wear flat because she had knee surgery and one of the girls wants strappless. And the other three girls will probably do heels with straps.

I am flexible, but it may look funny if they all have different shades of gold? What do you think?
