Organising a wedding is an exciting time with a lot of things to do and take care of before, during and after the event. Once your dress is chosen, the floral arrangements organised, the venue booked, the wedding car reserved and all the little details that will make the day as perfect as it can be, taken care of – then it is time to relax and enjoy yourself with your bridesmaids.

One of the nicest things you can do is pamper yourself and this means from head to toe. A nice idea is to treat your bridesmaids to the same pampering as you plan to have done to yourself. Once you have treated all your friends to a day at a salon and when the pedicures have left you all with immaculate looking feet – then it is time to start looking for the perfect bridesmaid shoes for the special occasion.
It’s never easy to find shoes that all your bridesmaids are going to like and agree on. The same applies to bridesmaids dresses so you need to get all the girls together and sit them down in front of a computer screen for a couple of hours. Make it a special girly occasion, order in some of your favourite take away food and a bottle of wine with a box of chocolates or two.

Naturally, the choice of bridesmaids shoes will depend on what time of the year your wedding will take place. You have to consider the wonderful and sometimes unpredictable weather, the theme of the wedding and of course, you have to think about comfort. Remember, your bridesmaids will have to wear their wedding shoes all day and all of the evening too. The girls will be dancing the night away at your wedding reception, so they have be wearing comfortable shoes or end up with very sore feet!
You need to get all your bridesmaids to agree on the height of the heels they will feel comfortable wearing too so opt for something comfy and with a moderate heel, like the lovely purple ones below:

Once all the girls have agreed on the style of bridesmaids shoes they would like to wear at your wedding, it’s always a good idea to buy the shoes well before the wedding day. Like this the girls get to wear them and break them in so they are more comfortable to wear on the big day. There is nothing worse than wearing a new pair of shoes and then finding out they are not as comfortable as you would like them to be and there is nothing more uncomfortable than sore feet!
