Reader Request - Bridesmaid Shoes

A reader sent me a note recently for some wedding attire advice. I'm not going to say I'm an expert, but I've certainly got some recent experience. She is a bridesmaid in a wedding this January in Seattle. The ceremony is early evening in a church, and this is the bridesmaids' dress.

The bride has chosen bright pink as her accent color, and my friend was asking for some advice on what shoes to wear. Depending on the bride's other accent colors, I think black, gold, or silver are all options. Here are a few ideas all under $100.

Nina 'Bessy' Pump - $78.95

Nina 'Fern' d'Orsay Pump - $78.95

J. Renee 'Kaylee' Pump - $94.95

Nine West 'Flax' - $39.99 (gold) $69 (silver)

Enzo Angiolini 'Vitizzo' Pump - $99.95

Back to Basics - Nude Pumps

My bridesmaids are going to wear nude patent pumps with their dresses this Summer. Unlike their dresses, they will wear the shoes again (Let's be real, you never wear a bridesmaid dress again)! Every woman should have a pair of nude pumps in her closet. They are a great neutral to pair with any outfit during any season, AND they elongate the leg. Who wouldn't want that! To help the girls out I thought I'd post some options ranging in price, heel height, and style.
