No matter how tempting it might be to pick out a stunning pair of sky-high stilettos, a comfortable and practical pair of bridesmaid shoes should always be your priority. And look, when we often think of the words comfortable and practical concerning shoes, not the nicest footwear styles come to mind - but that’s not always the case! 

While a day full of celebration and fun, wedding days can be long, and there’s nothing worse than awkwardly shuffling through the pain of developing blisters - especially when the bride-to-be depends on you leading her down the aisle and getting the party started at the reception. 

To ensure you don’t have to make any sacrifices on the big day - enjoying both comfort and style - we’ve found the perfect bridesmaid shoes that will keep your feet looking AND feeling amazing. 
 

What Kind of Shoes Do You Wear As a Bridesmaid? 

The kind of bridesmaid shoes you opt for will depend on the wedding! To pick the perfect footwear, consider the venue, dress code and colour theme. For example, stilettos are a big no for garden or beach weddings, a wedge heel probably isn’t the most appropriate for a formal black-tie wedding, and an unfortunate colour clash with your bridesmaid dress probably won’t go down well with the bride. 

Generally speaking, nude bridesmaid shoes are popular for weddings as they work with so many other colours! Otherwise, if you’d prefer something a bit more eye-catching but still versatile, metallic footwear in gold and silver tones is also super popular right now. Who doesn’t like adding a touch of glitz and glam to the special day? Or, for something different entirely - why make the dress the main event when the shoes can be? If your bridesmaid dresses are in a neutral or muted colour palette, opt for a pair of bright accent shoes instead. 

 

Should Bridesmaids Wear Matching Shoes? 

Matching bridesmaid shoes generally isn’t a must, but some brides prefer to go for a cohesive look for their wedding day. Whether you plan to have your bridesmaids in the same dress and shoes or you enjoy mismatched styles, the choice is entirely yours! 

If the same shoes aren’t super important to you, you might prefer bridesmaids to at least wear similar colour footwear for a more uniform look, in a style that works for them individually. 

Otherwise, once again, statement shoes and mismatching with purpose is a stunning theme in itself when done right. Bridal parties wearing various pastel shades is a great way to make bridesmaids wearing different shoes look totally intentional and effective.
