BMs shoes?

[*Sarah*]

Did you let your BMs pick their shoes or did you decide?

[*heather*]

When I have been a BM, I have always been told what shoes to wear, or at least told to coordinate with the others. Personally, I think shoes are hard to choose for many people, so if you have more than 2 or 3 in your party, maybe just give them some guidelines (dressy and silver for example), but if you have more than that, you should just make the executive decision and let them live with your decision. ;)

[*TanyaJeanne*]

I let them each pick them out, just told them what color they needed to be :)

[christinas2006]

I was giong to let them pick them out however, i was in Dillards one day and they had these really cute shoes on sale for 20 dollars. So I asked every girl to buy them. What was hard was communicating to girls out of town. I just bought extra sizes and kept the recit everything worked out.

However, I am in my MOH wedding as her MOH and she is letting us pick out our shoes!

[*Ashley*]

I'm telling them all to buy a pair that's comfortable (and open toe because closed toe would look stupid, LOL) and have them dyed to match the dresses :)

[lmhcmm]

I'm having them pick their own gold shoes.

[Sk8ermaiden]

I'm going to give them a color and tell them to pick. I would not appreciate being told exactly what shoes to wear (mostly because that's like saying, "I don't care if those are uncomfortable, you're wearing them.")

My girls are adults, they can pick out their own shoes.

[Aramelle]

I'm going to give them some "guidelines" (silver, strappy), but they'll be able to select the actual shoe themselves.

[Krissy]

I let them pick any red shoe.

I was in my sister's wedding in November and we could pick any black shoe.

[jillian]

I told my BMs to buy their own shoes. Their dresses are floor length so no one will see them. If they had tea length dresses I would probably pick a few pairs out and have them pick from those.

[PurpleFlower]

we are all going togeather and they will pick their shoes but I am going to be there to approve! I think I want them all in th same.

[jillian]

When I was a bridesmaid the bride picked them out for us. I was there to offer my opinion, but it was her choice in the end.

[Angela]

I let my girls pick their own. I told them they had to be black or silver (or dyed to match), and I didn't care if they were open toe, closed toe, flats, heels, whatever. As long as it was one of those two colors, it really didn't matter to me. They all changed into flip flops at the reception anyway :)

[Kelly]

we talked about colors and she picked them out

[nikkiana]

I let them pick. I just told them to get black dress shoes and that they didn't have to match (one had like size 6 feet and the other wears an 11) but they ended up matching anyway.

[Winter_Bride]

I just wanted black shoes - I had floor-length dresses. Each girl wore different shoes, and just what was comfortable to them (which I had NO PROBLEM with!!) I had a winter wedding too, and not everyone wants to wear heels...

To tell you the truth, the ONLY time I've EVER noticed a BM's shoes was at a wedding where they wore tea-length dresses. Then they had matching shoes... Oh, and another one where they all wore SPORT sandals (the bride and groom were campers - EVERYONE in the wedding wore them! It was so cute!) Otherwise I don't think it's something people notice...

[That Girl]

Each girl picked out her own floor length dress and shoes. The dresses were from the same manufacturer, so they were the exact same color. I just told them to pick whatever shoes they wanted as long as it went well with the dress color (victorian lilac). Since the dresses were floor length, I don't even remember what shoes 3 of the BMs wore! I didn't see them. :happytears:

[Mandy]

Actually, my BMs decided the color, and chose their own style. With the dresses we chose, they could've gone with a ton of differant colors. They chose black (which I thought made the most sense) so they wouldn't need to worry about getting new shoes :).

[Hughto]

I will let them choose their own. I'll tell them that I'd like a strappy shoe and what color, but it is up to them from there.

[belle67]

I let my girls decide what they should wear. The only thing I asked is that they were a neutral colour so they would go with the cafe coloured dresses. They all ended up having very similar shades. :aok:

[RDC_girl]

when I was in my friends wedding she told us "just not white" hahaha. She didnt care if they were closed toe open toe or sandles.

[kate]

I picked out my girl's shoes. (they were the same as mine)

[aubreyandkelly]

I let them pick them...but I also let them pick their dresses.

I just gave them guidelines on each.

[soulmates]

I'm letting them pick their own. I showed them pictures of what I had in mind but its totally up to them.

[dolphincc]

I gave them a few color to choose from and let them pick. It worked out great.

[Poloke]

It was a bit of both here. I picked the colors (silver or clear) and they are picking whatever they want.

[Christa]

I am letting them pick their own. I just gave them some guidelines: white, approx. 2 inch heel, open toe

[sweetiez]

I was gunna let them pick their own as long as they were the same color. and open toe. But they all wanted the same shoe. and i swear it took 3 hours but they finally decided on this shoe.

[Theresa]

I let them pick. I told them they could wear black or silver shoes. Whatever was most comfortable for them. The wore long dresses and truth is, I don't think I even noticed their shoes!

[Jaci]

I told them black and closed toe (it was supposed to be outside and late September, I didn't want anyone cold). They all chose their own shoes after that.

[Allyson]

My bridesmaids will be picking their own shoes. The only request that I've made is that they're black to match their dresses.

[harleyjean]

Since the dresses are floor length, I'm letting my BMs choose their own shoes -- the only guideline I set is that they have to be dyeable to match the dresses. They all like different styles, heel heights, etc, so I wasn't going to deal with the stress of trying to make six girls all agree on one shoe.

I'm lucky they all liked the very first dress they tried on, so I didn't want to push my luck with the shoes!

[Vanessaness]

My BF showed me a pair of shoes she had and I said those would work fine!

And today I took my DD and FSD to the mall and bought them thier pair.

I still have one Jr BM to shop for.

[AmyMichelle]

My MOH & BMs will be happy with my decision for them to just wear Old Navy Flip Flops
<3

[Andrea]

Since the gurls are PROBABLY adults, I would assume they would quite like to pick out their own :dunno: just my thoughts. It's a lot easier for you to voice your opinion as for the colour because then you won't have anybody complaining...OH BUT THESE ARE STUPID AND UGLY or THESE ARE SO UMCONFY

[ginny]

well, they just their's yesterday. we went to alfred angelo's and i had them try on the dress that i picked out, and they loved it because it flattered all of them really well. so afterwards we went to the mall and in the second to last store we went to, i found a really simple shoe that i liked and was on clearance for $17. I asked them if they liked it and they did and luckily the store had all of their sizes. Then, I asked the most important question...are the comfortable?! hehe, they said they were, and they were fine with the shoes, so we got the dresses and shoes done in one day :)
The dresses are tea length, so it was important to me that they had at least shoes that looked similar. If those shoes weren't comfortable we would have just kept looking, I considered us very lucky.

:computer:

as far as I know the Brides picks the shoes mainly because they look the best with the dress, I also hear the BM's have picked their shoes as long as they had a certain look.
:wavey:

[Andrea]

so hunny are you gunna tease us and just tell us you got the dresses...but not post a picture :(
