    What does one person's comfort have to do with others?

    Not sure there is any reason bridesmaids can't keep shoes on. Its the brides day and dealing with high heels for a few hours should be OK. Don't most women have ways of slipping shoes of for a sec to get relief. Just my perspective

    Who cares? The bride shouldn't dictate what her friends/guests do with their shoes ... they are not literally her "maids," you know.

    If you're a bridesmaid, keep your shoes on for the ceremony and formal photos, but consider bringing flats for the party. If the bride is so uptight that she'd yell at you for taking off your shoes at a party, then you may want to reconsider your friendship with her.

    If you're the bride, don't be a micromanager. Your bridesmaids' jobs are to get the dress, participate in the ceremony, and pose for the formal photos. Once they've fulfilled those obligations, they're "off-duty." They should enjoy themselves at the party just like any other guest.

  • Whaaa?????? You are kidding with this question, right? Please tell me you are kidding....

    Listen, the Bride does have her boundaries...if her choice is to keep her shoes on during the entire reception while some bride's maids and guests wish to kick their's off for dancing...then so what? Will Bridezilla start dictating when bathroom pee breaks can be taken, what side of the mouth they must chew on, and how often they can blink in a minute's time.

    Really, someone is getting ridiculous...please tell me it's a joke.....

    It doesn't even matter.

    I took my shoes off at my wedding because even though I picked shoes that started comfy, by the time dinner was over I was in agony. I literally have zero idea what my bridesmaids did, and it's not like they knew I had taken my shoes off any way, you couldn't see my feet under my dress.

    Why would it matter....? If the bridesmaids want to take their shoes off, they can, provided it's at the appropriate time and not mid-ceremony.

    Why would anyone take off their shoes at an event like a wedding? If your shoes are too painful to wear for a few hours, maybe you need to choose something more comfortable / with a lower heel.

    No. There is no law that says that. If the bride wants to be a nazi about it that's her problem.
