Regardless of the color or style of your bridesmaids' dresses, these pretty shoes will complement their looks.

Despite your best efforts to select a neutral, versatile dress for your bridesmaids to wear on the big day, there's a good chance it won't ever be pulled from their closets again. Their accessories, however, are items they will reach for time and time again—especially their big-day shoes. From metallic strappy sandals to chic mules and classic nude pumps, there are so many pairs of elegant evening shoes that will work with a variety of different bridesmaids' dresses and are still pretty enough to be worn again and again.
One way to ensure everyone will get lots of use out of their shoes post-wedding is to let your family members and friends choose their own footwear. Should you still want some say over what everyone wears, consider picking the shape and shade but letting everyone select their own style. For example, if the wedding's color palette is packed with warm tones, ask your 'maids to pick out a pair of metallic heels. We love everything from kitten-heeled sling-backs to block-heels with ankle straps and classic strappy sandals. Having a wedding with cool tones? Silver would work well.
But if you're like most brides, you'll more than likely ask your bridesmaids to choose nude shoes—the good news is that this neutral, classic style goes with everything, so there's no reason why your bridesmaids won't wear them again. One thing to keep in mind when choosing bridal party footwear? Heel height. Walking down the aisle, standing at the altar, and dancing are all tasks that require a heel that's as comfortable as possible, but comfort really varies from person to person. If you can, try giving a color guideline and letting everyone choose their shape and heel height. We promise: Your bridesmaids will thank you.
At a loss for where to start when considering bridesmaids' shoes? We've rounded up a variety of gorgeous pairs your bridesmaids will love to wear now and later.
