Choosing the Perfect Shoe on Your Wedding Day

Picking the perfect shoe to wear on your wedding day shouldn't be as hard as finding your gown, right? Truth is, it can be! You either want comfort or style, but most of the times you want both! And yet, you usually end up sacrificing one or the other. 

Keep these tips in mind when deciding which shoe to wear on your big day!

What purpose are you aiming for?

Are you trying to match your shoes to the groom's or maybe your bridesmaids? Are you wanting to make a statement and go bold? Are you going for comfort and foregoing current fashion trends?

Match your dress and theme.

Consider your wedding theme. Is it beachy? Maybe modern or country rustic. You don't want to be parading around in the hottest bridal fashion trends with a pair of cowboy boots underneath, now do you? Also, keep in mind the texture and color of your dress when choosing your shoes!

Alterations.

If you plan on having any type of alterations done to your dress, please keep in mind the urgency to find your shoes sooner and make sure the shoes you are wearing for alterations, need to be the shoes you wear on your wedding day.

Mother Nature.

We can't control the weather on your wedding day. So it's best that you have a back up plan for your feet. It'll be really hard walking through snow in the latest heels!

Comfort.

You're going to be in your shoes for a minimum of 3-4 hours on your wedding day. Be sure to choose a shoe that will provide some comfort. Try wearing them a few times before to get your feet use to them and if all else fails, plan on bringing a back up pair for you to slip in to as the festivities of your big day continue.
