Bridesmaid shoes!?

I told my BM's to wear what they felt comfortable in, preferably some type of sandal or heel ((dress shoes))

Not crazy at all and the rest of your bridal party will likely appreciate it! Shoes are so unique to each person and you want them to be comfortable so they can enjoy the day with you! If you want a little more consistency you can just say "whatever shoes you love in xyz color." But honestly it sounds like you don't even care about that. With long dresses there will be very few shots that the shoes are even visible. You might even want to have the photographer deliberately take a shoe shot to show off their individuality. You might have fun later "look at those cowboy boots - those are definitely Stacy's feet!"

If they're wearing long dresses it won't matter, and since you don't care anyway just tell them to wear whatever is comfortable!

My bestie told us all to wear nude shoes, didnt matter flat or heel, but we were in short dresses so the shoes would have been noticeable if someone wore red heels with a seafoam dress.

Maybe ask your BM what they envision and would like to wear?

I also told my girls they can choose the style and color shoe they wanted. Looks like they will all be wearing a black stiletto and I am fine with that!

I just said closed-toed black dress shoes. It doesn't have to be complicated.

I told my MOH to wear what was comfortable. She mentioned she wanted her shoe color to coordinate with the gown she was wearing, so maybe that's something you could say, "As long as the color coordinates with the dress and the shoes are dressy, you can wear what you're comfortable in." You might suggest a few colors to them, like "shoes in silver, gold, or nude would look good!" This might help to ease your MOH's mind a bit. It still allows your girls to choose based on their comfort level and personal style but it does have some loose guidelines so no one is completely out there stylistically.

I'm in the exact same boat!! Some of my bridesmaids said they would decide among themselves what color to choose. I'd hate to see them buy shoes in a particular color if they already have shoes they can wear. Oh well. They know I don't care what their shoes look like if they want them to be the same color then so be it!

I told my BMs white dress shoes. Doesn't matter to me if they are heels or flats. So far, two have chosen heels and the other two have chosen flats.

I told my girls whatever they wanted as long as they were comfortable. I also suggested a color but told them they did not HAVE to go with that if they didn't want to! (They asked what color I wanted)

I HATE the shoes one girl bought because they look like your walking around the mall, not in a wedding...but you'll barely see them, and no one is gonna be paying attention to their shoes.

It's your wedding..if you dont care that they don't match why should she?

I just asked them to pick a nude shoe. They can choose the style and pick one they will actually wear again.

I picked long dresses just for the reason that I didn't want to deal with the shoe issue and told them to wear whatever they were most comfortable in. They didn't like that so they took it upon themselves to decide that they wanted to all wear nude shoes

I also told mine a nude shoe. Don't care if it's flats, heels, whatever. You're not crazy. You're doing the smart thing. One less thing to stress about.

I asked my bridesmaids to wear black, closed toe shoes with their plum dresses, but let them pick flats or heels. I figured everyone had them for work and the one BM that didn't bought a pair at Walmart for $8. They had long dresses but you still saw their shoes as they walked down the church steps.

I told my girls to wear whatever they felt comfortable in. One is wearing navy heels and the other is wearing nude heels. Their dresses are coral and our colors are navy blue and color. They got their dresses for $37 each at Jcpenney and it was pretty simple.

I told my MOHs they can wear whatever shoes they want to wear. my best friend loves stilettos my other friend loves wedges and flats. It's all about what they are going to be comfortable in. Their dresses are floor length chiffon so I'm not worried about color or anything. It's a to each their own situation.

I definitely thought it would be cute in pictures to see all the different eclectic personalities of my group of friends. I think she's concerned about it just looking off, plus she's a lot pickier than I am. She's not pushing me to do anything, she's fine and knows it's my wedding. But she is having a hard time wrapping her mind around why I wouldn't want everyone to wear the same or similar shoes. She's also a shoe freak.

I'm glad that this doesn't seem outrageous to you guys.. I think I'm going to go with my original plan. I will make suggestions, but I definitely want my girls to be comfortable, and I don't want them to have to buy shoes they may never wear again. Especially after already buying a dress. Everyone deserves to be happy and comfortable in my opinion, whether that's in heels, flip-flops or boots.. Hm...
