Bridal Wedding

Should you chose Distinct or Matching Bridesmaid Wedding Shoes

The best thing about planning your wedding is the limitless choices to choose from, to have things the way you want. Yet, one of the most difficult things about planning is how overwhelming that wide range of choices can truly be. That dilemma shows up in selecting the bridesmaids’ wedding shoes, just as it does everywhere else.

Should all the bridesmaids’ shoes match one another? How similar to the bride’s wedding shoes should they be? How are you ever going to decide? Here is a logical tip: let your gown theme be your guide.

Your wedding dress is unique. The Bride’s wedding gown will not be the same as what the bridesmaid are wearing. You are the center of attention on that special day and your gown reflects that. But bridesmaids dresses need not exactly match one another these days, either.

Your overall ‘look’ should be consistent. A pantsuit wedding at city hall is not the occasion for the bridesmaids to wear formal gowns. Even when you’ve decided to go formal, you still have to decide whether the bridesmaids gowns are cookie cutter or distinct.

One good choice is to have a design that is overall similar, but different in small touches. Going shoulderless for the bridesmaids gowns? A great look, especially if the wedding gown is similar. Have you selected floor length or long train for the wedding gown? The bridesmaids’ dresses will always lack that Cinderella train, but can be Civil War gown-length, or post modern short.

Now add individual touches, a blue ribbon accent for one, pink for another.

Why all the concentration on the dresses when we’re trying to chose shoes? Here lies the answer. After all that hard effort to choose your gown selections, do not do double work and tear your hair out over the shoes. Let them be as similar, or as different, as the gowns themselves.

Fabrics for shoes, for example, do not need to match the bridal or bridesmaids dresses exactly. But they should not stick out either. Subtle contrast is good. Appearing like a sore thumb draws too much attention to what should only complement the dress: your shoes.

Satin shoes might be a good match with your dress. Many bridal shoe designs are available in satin. They’ll reflect more light than crepe shoes. But if you select satin for the bridal wedding shoes, choose crepe for the bridesmaids’ to keep the focus to where it should be.

Now consider color.

Dyeable shoes are an choice not only for the bridal shoes, but the bridesmaids’ shoes as well. Have you found a design you love, but the color is wrong? You can have them professionally dyed and you can match the gown exactly, or create just the subtle contrast you want.

For example, a bold burgundy for the bridal shoes. That will appear great under a cream wedding gown. Next use a similar color, but go for a shade or two lighter for the bridesmaids’ shoes. The same, but different. The main attention still remains on you, but the bridesmaids are coordinated.

That’s the very definition of win-win in wedding shoes.
