It is not always an easy task choosing Bridesmaid Shoes that will please every single one of your Bridesmaids, especially if you have lots of them. So yes, shopping for Bridal Shoes for your bridesmaids can be tricky, but there are certainly ways you can do your best to increase the chances of keeping everyone in your good books.
At the end of the day, your wedding is the one and only special day that’s all about you so if your bridesmaids are good friends or family they will be accommodating and make do if need be. As the bride making the decisions you need to be reasonable, it’s not fair to expect ‘Camilla’ on crutches to wear Bridal Heels with high Stilettos, but if ‘Karen’ just isn’t keen on the look then just get on with it hun.
Communication is Key
The most effective way to choose Bridal Shoes that will please all your Bridesmaids is to simply communicate with everyone. Firstly, you need to find out which shoe sizes you need to purchase along with any helpful information about their individual fittings (for example if they have wide feet). Next important detail you must find out is whether everybody can wear heels, and if so which size heel are they comfortable wearing. If all bridesmaids cannot wear heels you would need to decide whether you’re happy for some to wear Flats while others wear heels. Having bridesmaids wear different heel heights can work nicely by ensuring the shoes all have similar features, for example if one bridesmaid has heels with a round toe and covered in diamantes the other could have flats with the same round toe and diamantes. On the flip side if you have a couple of bridesmaids that can’t wear heels, you can make life easy and have all bridesmaids wear Flat Bridal Ballerinas.
Block Heel Wedding Shoes
As far as Heels go Block Heel Wedding Shoes will be one of the comfiest on trend options for your bridesmaids, this heel style comes in a variation of heel heights. A block heel not only provides more comfort than a stiletto heel but it offers stability so none of your bridesmaids will fear any embarrassing wobbles walking down the aisle. As previously mentioned communication is so important, check in with your bridesmaids to find out how heigh they are comfortable going so everyone is happy.

Let Bridesmaids Choose Their Own Bridal Shoes
If you’re not a control freak or a perfectionist, go with the option that would give you 100% certainty that every one of your bridesmaids will be happy with their Bridal Sandals . Simply let them take care of their own shoes, all you need to do is tell them the colour to choose and the rest is up to them. Another win to this option is that it means you can save on your budget by having them purchase their own, they may not even have to spend a penny if they already have something suitable. This option will not be for everyone as you would need to place a certain amount of trust in your bridesmaids, that they’re not going to show up in something hideous that doesn’t match the dresses! Unless you can put all full faith in your bridesmaid’s fashion choices, maybe this option is only safe with full length dresses that will cover the Wedding Shoes if worst comes to worse!
