Bridesmaid Shoes

On a bride's wedding day, all eyes should be focused on her. The bridesmaids' outfits should match the colours and overall feel of the wedding, but their dresses and shoes should never overpower the brides'. Some brides-to-be request that their bridesmaids wear a specific pair of shoes, while others allow their wedding party to choose their own style of wedding footwear, usually based on a certain colour scheme. Ideally, the bride tailors her bridesmaids' look to their height and proportion - avoiding extremely high heels if someone in the bridal party is very tall, or staying away from shades that don't flatter a particular bridesmaids' skin tone. While colour-coordinating bridesmaid footwear is still the most popular choice among wedding parties, it is also common to see shoes of different but still complementary colours bridesmaids' shoes. If the bridesmaid dresses are dark colours such as burgundy, olive, or navy, it's best to stick with shoes that either exactly match the dress shade, or are one or two shades lighter. This will tie the bridesmaids' dresses and shoes together without too bold of a contrast. Your bridesmaids will thank you if you choose stylish yet comfortable bridal footwear that allows them to enjoy your wedding day without thinking of their feet. There are numerous kitten-heel sandals, ballet-style flats, and lower heeled bridesmaid shoes that come in any colour of fabric and embellishment. Also, by choosing a more casual style of bridesmaid footwear, there's a greater chance that your wedding party will have the opportunity to wear them again in the future.
