Hi ladies, can I get your opinion on BM shoes please?

Hi ladies I am getting married in the fall and instead of doing different dresses my future husband and I decided on same dress style different color dresses, to go along with our fall theme.   But I am stuck as to what color shoes my BM can wear that is the same color and look good with these dresses. I don't care what style they wear shoe wise I just would like them to all be the same color.

What do you ladies think?  Thanks for your input!

Also I removed the silver pin that is shown.

  • First, I would say that absolutely no one will notice your BMs shoes, especially since the dresses are long. Nearly all the Weddings I've been to have maids in short dresses and I still never noticed their shoes.

    That being said, I think nude would look best with any only of those dresses.

  • Any neutral would probably be fine -- especially since shoes don't really show under long dresses.
  • If they don't have silver details, I'd go with gold shoes or nude.

  • Gold, silver or nude.  But really they could even wear black because no one will even see their feet.

  • With long dresses I would not even specify a color, honestly.

  • I know the dresses are long but every wedding I have ever been in we have always worn the same color and I like the idea of it. 

    Thanks ladies.

    Let them wear whatever style shoes they want in black or silver.

    I always wear flats under a long bridesmaid dress...it's Heaven! ;-)

    No, I've never been in a wedding where the bride as bought the shoes.  It has always been part of the you buy the dress and shoes...

    I bought them all packages for a spa day to go to whenever they like, massage, medi, pedi (not to do for the wedding just when ever they all work hard and I think it was better then buying jewelry to wear for the wedding day) So I'm tapped out as far as money towards gifts for them.


  • Black would be a shoe color everyone would already own.

  • It's not special shoes though they can't wear whatever color they want but in the same color.  I dont think that is asking a ton... every single wedding I have ever been in long or short I have been told whatever color shoe but I could pick the style.

    Maybe it's a regional thing. I'm not sure.
  • I would pick silver or gold. Or you could suggest silver shoes to them, but let them know that it's okay if they would prefer to wear a different shoe. You can leave it up to them and not worry about them all being the same colour.

  • Any neutral including black would go with the dresses. However, unless you were planning on having the BMs hitch up their skirts as they walk down the aisle, I would phrase the request as, "I prefer color X, but if you don't have that wear what you already own," or I would poll them for what colors they already own. Shoes may be more reusable than BM dresses, but if they needed a particular pair they would already own them, so the "they can wear them again" argument is pretty weak.
