What style shoes should we wear and should they be dyed
Strappy sexy sandals are in but of course sling backs and pumps may also be worn. We recommend that the bride make the decision whether everyone wears open-toe or closed-toe shoes.
Secondly all the shoes can be the same or each bridesmaid can wear a different style but all should be open or closed toe. We recommend wearing silver, gold, bronze or black If these colors really don't coordinate then it's best to dye the shoes.
If your entire bridal party purchases shoes at Mariella’s each bridesmaid receives 15% off shoes.

What style is most flattering for a group of bridesmaids who are different sizes from full-busted to full hips?
The look for bridesmaids that is popular now is cocktail length or knee length. Brides like the look of simple cocktail dresses and they also like each brideasmad wearing a different style that is most flattering on them. We suggest choosing one company and one color and then let each bridesmaid choose a style that they like and feel comfortable in. By choosing one company you then can make sure all the colors are the same. Full length is still in but for a more formal wedding, accessories play a big part since most of the styles are so simple. Chandelier earrings and large cuff bracelets are definitely in.
What's the story on gloves??
Gloves can be worn during the Fall and Winter months but not mandatory.
I want to wear sandals but need a control top, but don't want to wear nylons?
The answer is SPANX and we love them! They are the top part of panty hose but without the nylons. They don't roll or show under under gown but best of all they cinch you in and make everything smooth.
