After you’ve found the perfect dress, the next step is to find the right shoes. The right shoe means that it will have to be perfect in shape, size, style and color and finding the pair that will work perfectly with the dress you’ve chosen can seem like such a difficult decision. But to help you with that we have come up with great tips you need to put into consideration before making your choice.
#1. Comfort
This is the most important factor in picking a shoe. No matter how lovely a shoe looks or how much you are in love with it, if it’s not comfortable then it’s a no-no. Make sure the shoes has extra padding and support inside to make the shoe fit better.
Comfort also includes the size, if it’s too tight then you will be limping after a short. On the other hand bigger isn’t always better because they can be equally uncomfortable. Never trade comfort for fancy.
#2. Height
Skyscraper heels can be very attractive but remember you’re going to have to walk down the aisle in them, stand for photographs in them, maybe dance in them and walk around all day. If you are used to wearing very high heels on a normal day then go for it. Otherwise stick to the heel you are comfortable in. It’s your wedding day and you don’t want to be tripping. Beside if your spouse is naturally the same height as you are, wearing very high heels can make you look way taller than him and lets face it, some guys don’t really like it.
#3. Test them
Don’t make the mistake of wearing your shoes for the very first time on your wedding day. Trying them once at the store is not enough. Make sure you have them a few weeks before the wedding and wear them around the house to get them worn in a bit before the big day so by then they would have been molded up to fit your feet and also try to get a sense of how slippery the shoes may be to avoid unpleasant surprises. Trying them before the day can help you detect any issues and solve them.
#4. Destination
Always consider the wedding venue before choosing a shoe. If you are having a beach wedding, then most likely flat shoes will do, since it’s almost impossible to walk on sand with heels.
#5. Color and fabric
Generally, most people prefer either white or off white and for the fabric, satin or silk. There is no set rule for the color and fabric of your shoes. So you can allow your personal taste to lead you on. The most important thing is that the color and texture of your shoes matches your dress and the theme.
Although sometimes when brides pick their shoes they do so having the intention of wearing it again. So your taste might change from the traditional white or off white if you’re thinking long term.
One of the most important accessories on your wedding day is your shoe and it must be perfect. Finding the perfect balance of price, style, comfort and functionality is not easy, but if you start searching ahead of time you will definitely find the right ones for you.
