Vera Wang Bridal Shoes

Shoes should be a top priority for the bride. Shoes may not been seen but they will definitely be felt. Too tight or too large of a heel can create a disaster day rather than the wedding day of your dreams.

It is extremely important to have a comfortable pair of shoes on your wedding day as you will be on your feet for most if not all of the day. Weddings usually last for several hours when you include the photographs and reception not to mention dancing. You want to be able to enjoy your day in comfort. If the choice of wedding shoes is the wrong one the bride will not be able to hide her feelings. She may get upset and then makeup may be ruined or the pictures may not have her best smile because she is uncomfortable in her shoes.

Several factors come into play when choosing the perfect wedding shoes. The style, shape and color of the shoe should be considered. The bride should also take into account if her shoes will be showing or if they will be covered by her dress. Below are a few tips that will help the bride to be to choose the right shoes for the wedding:

If ordering your wedding shoes online do so a few months in advance of the wedding.  You want to ensure that fit, style and comfort are all what you want, and should you need to make any returns you need to have the time to do so before the wedding day.

Be certain the pair of shoes you decide on are complimentary to your dress. You don’t want the shoes to clash, so make certain they will go with the overall look and theme of your dress, hair, and makeup. Good looking shoes will help the bride feel at ease and have fun without worrying.

A good tip to remember is to add extra cushioning to the shoes. Invest in a good pair of pads to cushion your feet. The extra padding will help the bride be more comfortable throughout the proceedings. The heel height should also be considered. If the bride to be is not comfortable in stiletto heels then she should not wear them.

Height.  Whilst ability to walk on heels is vital, so to is the height of the shoe.  In the photos and video does the bride want to look taller than she would normally? Shorter?  Think about things like the height of the groom, bridesmaids etc.

While strappy shoes are fun, they can also cause blistering and pain, so try to avoid them if possible as wedding shoes. Also, be aware of the fabric of the shoe. Certain material can be rather ridgid and won’t allow the foot to stretch or feel comortable. You want to find material that allows the bride’s foot to move and to bend without feeling too constricted.

As you can see a shoe is an important part of the wedding.  Getting the right look, height, colour, and feel can really impact the brides enjoyment.  So make sure that you look around and choose a beautiful AND comfortable shoe.
