Gold Bridesmaid Shoes

March 6th, 2007 @ 1:00 pm by Mrs. Raspberry

I am partially stumped.

I wanted to find great shoes for the bridesmaids that are:

  • Gold
  • Strappy
  • Sandals
  • Cute!

…and I have found this to be a hard task.

Normally, my bridesmaids would drop a good amount for a nice pair of shoes, but with all of the money they’re spending on other things (most of them are traveling for our wedding, the hotel room, bridal showers, etc…) I was really trying to find something super cheap for their shoes. I thought it would be nice if they all matched as their dresses will be tea length and the shoes will show.

Here are a couple of my favorites that were out of the price range…

Anne Klein - $253 on Zappos

Kate Spade - $278 on Zappos

Lauren by Ralph Lauren - $134.95 on Nordstroms

GRRR!!!

Then I came across these at Target….

They are cute; I don’t know that they are dressy enough or how they would look with the tea length dresses, but I would totally wear them for work… and they are only $19.99!!! What do you think?

Did you pick one style and have all of your bridesmaids wear the same shoes, or did you just set a color and style and let them pick their own?

I think they are fabulous and would be SUPER cute with a tea length dress!

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.

Those shoes are great! What a find! I also have seen some good strappy gold shoes on Smartbargains.com. Good luck!

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!

I like the Target ones too, did you try Famous Footwear online. You can search by color…

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.

The considerate thing to do would be to let your girls pick their own shoes of a particular color and style.

It would be unlikely that one shoe will fit comfortably on all of your bridesmaids. Consider their different needs for width, arch, ankle support, etc and preferences for heel height.

Personally, if I were your bm and you asked me to wear that pair for your wedding, there would be a risk that I trip or twist my ankle. I NEED ankle straps with that heel height! (slingbacks and pump support always slip out. maybe my heel is shaped funny)

I’d rather wear an ugly bm dress that’s unflattering than have to wear shoes that are uncomfortable.

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!

My girls just bought gold Nina strappy sandels — they were $70. Check outmy knot bio to see them (click on my name).

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.

Hi Miss Raspberry. My bridesmaids are wearing gold sandals too. I was stumped when it came down to finding a pair that was cute… In any case, after weeks of searching every shoe store known to mankind, I found these two and they are each $69. They are super cute in person and the BM will be picking one of the 2 styles below.

ALDO: $69: in Gold: 4″
http://www.aldoshoes.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/style/productDetails.cfm&itemID=64405007&&var=d&ckey=US

NINE WEST: $69: in Gold: 2 3/4″
http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?productId=8117&source=category&index=0&prodIndex=0&listSize=4

The only reason why I picked 2 and not 1 style is because some of the gals can’t walk in anything higher than a 4″ heel so for those ladies, the Nine West would work and for the brave ladies that can walk around in 4″ heels, they have the ALDO shoe to get. Both are $69 and after seeing both in person, I have to say that they were both super cute. Hope this helps?

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 am making all the girls wear the same. It is a distraction when I see tea legnth dresses and all these random shoes. But I think you should go back to nordstroms and check out the BP shoes. Here is one I saw. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2877079/0~2376778~2372808~2377035~2379517?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2379517&P=1

Do you have an independent shoe store that is similar to DSW in that it carries discount name-brand shoes? I have a store like that locally and got a pair of gold nina shoes for $20. Dig around. They may look like dives, but they are gold mines.

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.

I was actually planning to buy those Target ones for myself– in red! I was going to wear them for the day of…

As for my BMs, their dresses are long cocktails– to the floor, so I’m letting wear whatever shoes they want. In your case I think it would be super cute for them to match since everyone will see them in tea length dresses but I don’t think it’s necessarily a “must.”

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 am against the matching shoes. With all of the variations in feet there is no way to find something that’s comfortable for everyone. Some girls love stilettos, others want a kitten heel, someone’s going to have a bunion…. I think that a mix looks much more modern and fresh and your wedding party can decide how much they want to spend.

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.
