Most people own a pair of black shoes. Probably more comfortable to wear your own. She probably wants matching underoos too. Meanwhile the bride is barefoot and pregnant.......

Reply:I love watching the style network. They recently had Glamour Magazine's 20 Dos and Don't for Wedding. It said something about not having the bridesmaid look all the same. That included shoes. They said the maids should wear similar colored shoes, but not the same style. The style should fit the needs of each girl.
Reply:Your friend is the bride and she asked you to take part as her bridal party, once you say yes you assume all duties to help her make her day go the way she wants it.





However, if the shoes cost more than $30 give or take a few dollars I would say that you need to explain to her that the cost of shoes are excessive. She if she can find a black shoe that is less expensive.





As a professional, of al lthe details that matter matching shoes is the LEAST to really care about.
Reply:Are you in the wedding party? If so, then if she wants you to get black shoes, be a good sport and get black shoes. It's her day, just bite the bullet on this one.
Reply:Don't your shoes usually match?
Reply:normally I pretty much hate you, I think your a materialistic b*tch from what I have seen on here.....but I have to agree on this one...I mean, a black shoe is pretty much a black shoe, no sense in wasting money when every female alive has a nice pair of black shoes that are NOT gonna get noticed...I didn't make my bridesmaids buy new shoes that matched, I just told them a black strappy heel....all were more than happy to comply, but if bride wants you to, welcome to being a bridesmaid, I'm sure if she's in your wedding, she'll have it WAY tougher!
Reply:I agree... my bride wants me to get a pair of crappy shoes from Payless dyed...there's only me and a bridesmaid...I just want to get my own shoes... no one is going to see them.
Reply:When you agreed to be in the wedding party, you agreed to buy the blasted bridemaid's stuff. Suck it up, and buy them. At least she wants black. She could make you get those awful dyed things.
Reply:Get a LIFE! Go outside and play and get away from the computer.
Reply:Take your meds and go to sleep.
Reply:Sadly and as much as I agree with you, you should wear what she wants if you are in the wedding party. You agreed to be a bridesmaid and with that comes certain responsibilities like wearing ugly dresses and matching shoes and letting someone else do your hair, etc. It's her wedding and you are her friend so wear the shoes. The fact that they match might not be a big deal to you but it's not your wedding. You signed on and now you've got to keep the ship afloat! If it's not a big deal that the shoes match then why does it even bother you?





I have a similar problem right now, I have to wear a gorgeous dress in a color that is absolutely repulsive and makes me look ill. But I signed on to be a bridesmaid and I love my friend very much and I would never even think about telling her how horrible the dress is. I'll just smile now and burn the thing later ( =





Good luck!

Reply:maybe shes going for a certan style...besdies most girls like multiple pairs of black shoes and if you feet are showing then I can see why she might want the bridesmaids to have matching shoes. (so it looks uniform).
Reply:I personally don't think the bride's maids need to have matching shoes, if this is what you mean! I have wide feet (but they're small) so it's really hard for me to find dress shoes that fit well. If I'd been made to wear matching shoes to the other bride's maids, either I'd have been uncomfortable or they'd have to go through a lot of hassle to try on shoes until I find the one pair that fits me.





So no, I don't think they need to match. Each person should just pick ones that fit well and are comfortable.
