Champagne shoes with low heel

Im a BM in a wedding where two of the girls hate wearing heels.  The bride thinks (and I agree) that the BM needs some kind of heel, because Im the tallest BM at 5'2 (the others are  5'2 and 4/10).  The bride wants it to be champagne color, and wants the style to all be the same...any suggestion on champagne shoes with low heels (bride suggested kitten heels...I hate kitten heels, but Im not the bride in this weeding) that won't break the bank?  Sorry for the disdain in this email, orginially we were gonig to be wearing any shoe we wanted in black, and I had really cute shoes picked out, but it is what it is

Re: Champagne shoes with low heel

  • Can you try to convince the bride to let everyone wear something they are comfortable in? I was a BM last year and the bride had us all in 4in heels, which was fine for me since I live in heels, but two other BM's were in pain for the majority of the day and ended up really annoyed with the bride.

    I also don't see why you HAVE to wear heels just because you are short. My FI's sister is 5'1 and she is wearing flats because she hates heels.

  • Don't apologize for the disdain. I think your friend is a jerk for promising you she'd let you pick your own shoes, taking it back, and then making you all wear shoes you're not comfortable in.

    I did not find anything that matches what you need on zappos, but you might want to try shoes.com, shoebuy.com, or dsw.com. Or just tell your friend to stuff it ;)
  • Well, its my sister, and the other bms are my other sister and his sister, and my mom is the one worried about the style (even though we have long dresses).  Meh, its only one day, and its her day, and for my wedding things are going to be different, but I see no reason to stir up drama, so Im supportive to her, but on here, just a little rant...I looked on zappos and dsw, but Ill check out the other two sites...thanks!

  • I would suggest looking for short wedges too, they add the height, but also are a little more comfortable.
  • You could also try endless.com
  • I found a lot on the DSW website. I was actually looking for a pair of champagne shoes with a low heel. I ended up buying a pair but the heel is a little higher than planned. I'm not sure if they carry them all in the store but you can purchase online and then return to the store if needed. I guess it depends on how much time you have as well. I would be annoyed too-especially since you were told one thing originally. 
    It's funny though because I am letting my BMs wear any black shoe of their choice and one of them tried to convince me that it wouldn't look good. She suggested some sort of metallic. I politely told her that I had tested the colors and thought they looked good. The main reason for choosing black was to save everyone from having to buy a pair of shoes. Maybe she can join your sister's bridal party and you can be in mine! LOL.

  • Thanks for the help!  After scowering the internet and local bridal boutiques (and David's Bridal, AA, etc) my sister decided that it was indeed ok to wear black shoes.   My Mom is making me get the same style as the other two, but the shoes are only $25, so I can handle that.

    Lol, Berkleigh's Mom...that made me laugh...and then I looked at your location and your wedding ticker and realized that I actually would be in San Antonio close to you wedding date, so send your BM up to Pgh in a couple of weeks and we can make the switch, lol

  • FWIW, I'm 4'10" and am strongly considering wearing flats for my wedding.  And no, I am not chopping my 6' tall BM off at the knees so that she is no taller than I am.  Why does it matter how tall they are?
