Buying and Preparation Wedding Shoes

Have u ever married? It must be busy to make all the preparation including the dress and the shoes. What about the shoes? I think a bride should be blooming and perfect, just like the wedding and the wedding day, and for a perfect bride, there should be perfect wedding shoes. To help you buying the perfect one, here is a guide that you can follow to buy that perfect pair for that very special day.

Choosing a color

You should match it with the wedding dress that you wear. Most the wedding dress is white but there are different shades of white, diamond white, pearl white, bone white, satin white, etc. The color of the shoes doen't has to be 100% same with the color of the dress, if you wear a pearl white wedding dress, you can match it with a diamond white color of wedding shoes. But if you pick your own color wedding dress like pink, don't match it with a green wedding shoes.

Style

beside color, style should be your next priority, your shoes should fit the occasion and the place. For example if you have a beach wedding or a garden wedding it’s not advisable to wear stilettos. For an evening event, you can use strappy evening sandals. Remember both shoe and dress need not be fancy, quite the opposite, you can wear fancy shoes for a simple dress or simple shoes for an extravagant dress, so that they sort of balance each other.

Comfort

After choosing the style and color, you must try your shoes on, remember you’d be wearing your shoes for the whole day, and maybe on the reception as well, you’d be expected to be in those shoes for more than four hours, and during the reception, might be asked to dance in them. Don't forget about the size, it shouldn't be too tight or too loose. You don’t want to get blisters on your special day so make sure that your shoes are comfortable especially to stand for a long time.

Details

If you want details on your shoes like crystals or rhinestones, make sure that the color , sheen and style match those of your dress, don’t wear bejeweled shoes on a gown that doesn’t have a single bit of crystal on it or you’ll look like an upside down lampshade when the lights hit you.

Extra shoes

If you think that your dancing shoes should be different than your actual wedding shoes, and you’d want an extra one, make sure that the heels of your extra shoes match those of your actual shoes so that your gown doesn’t look too short or too long when you wear them.

Alterations

Remember to bring your shoes with you when you’re getting your dress made or altered, this’ll make sure that the length of your gown matches the heels of your shoes, you won’t want your dress to drag or to look like its too short don’t you?


* Tips:
- Buy shoes towards the end of the day. The foot expands during the course of the day and you want to buy shoes when your feet are at its largest size.

- Wear your shoes inside the house before the wedding, do this until you can wear your shoes for 4-5 hours without hurting, this’ll make sure that the shoes are soft and comfortable on your wedding day, just don’t wear them outside.
