Everything about being a bridesmaid might seem expensive. Even the shoes can add up in cost. Fortunately, there are often ways that you can save on this item. Consider the following strategies.
Buy from a less expensive source
One of the biggest ways to save is to get the shoes from a less expensive store. It will make a difference if your bride wants you to get a particular shoe or if she is open to any type of shoe. One great place for bridesmaid shoes is actually Payless. They have several styles of shoes, which they can dye many different colors. There is a great chance that one will match the color of your dress. If your bride wants everyone to wear the same shoes, then maybe you can ask if she can pick out one of the colors and styles from there because you will spend less than at many bridal stores.
The bridal stores are often the most expensive on the shoes. If she has allowed you to pick out any shoe or if she just wants a certain type (i.e. gold pumps) then you can look at stores that offer savings such as Rack Room Shoes. If she does want a particular shoe, then you can call the places that offer them to inquire about the prices. Some places might also give you some sort of deal if you purchase your bridesmaid dress from them or if a bunch of women are getting them from the same place so you can see if you would be eligible for any such discounts. You can also even look at a place like the flea market.
Look online
There are many bridesmaid shoes sold online. You can look up the particular shoe that you want. You might even find it on www.ebay.com. You can even consider one that is pre-owned that perhaps someone else used just once as a bridesmaid. If you are purchasing it on the Internet make sure to take into account any extra shipping costs, although a lot of stores do offer that for free.
Use other money-saving techniques
Many shoes stores such as Rack Room Shoes offer coupons. You will also find a selection of shoes at outlet malls such as the Sawgrass Mills Mall in South Florida. Look for sales and shoes that are on clearance. You can also just look at the shoes that do not cost as much. Remember you might only be wearing them once and most of the time people are focused more on your dress.
Bridesmaid shoes can be expensive, but with the right strategies you can save. Consider the above techniques to accomplish this.
