8 Tips on Bridal Shoes
Good Morning Lovelies,
Choosing a perfect shoe isn’t an easy task. It could literally make or break for all-day comfort. OUCH! 😖 Here’s 8 Tips on how to shop for your Bridal Shoes:
1️⃣ Shop Early... Buy as Early as Possible
Don’t wait until the last minute to find your wedding shoe! If you’re an online shopper, it’s always a good idea to buy early, as sizes can become unavailable really fast. If the sizes run out, the lead time can be long, especially if it’s a popular shoe. BONUS: If you purchase your shoes before your wedding dress fitting, you’ll be able to wear it to ensure that it matches your dress and the hem is right. This will help you save alteration costs later.
2️⃣ Consider Your Venue Think about where you’re having your wedding when you’re choosing your wedding shoe. Garden wedding brides might want to consider wearing a comfortable wedding flat which works better for the garden terrain. If you love a good heel, a low heel would suit the uneven surface. Or expand your mind and wear a wedding bootie, a mix between a heel and a flat that provides extra support. Wherever you decide to have your wedding, always ensure that your shoe choice works well with the location.
3️⃣ Comfort is A Priority
Think about your everyday style. If you wear heels often, then keep to your style for your wedding. If you’re like many women who don’t wear heels daily, just ensure that the heel you choose is a height you are confident to walk in and has extra padding so that you’re comfortable all day. BONUS: You may need additional padding, speak with your shoe store to see what options are available.
4️⃣ Compliment Your Style
Look for similar elements in your wedding shoe to complement your dress, so that it matches your style and taste. Consider if your dress has a specific lace, gems or design and match accordingly.
5️⃣ Consider How it Makes You Feel
Choose a shoe that makes you feel absolutely amazing! Even if your dress is floor length, you still want to be able to give your guests an occasional peak that’ll make them gasp. You want ALL the compliments!
6️⃣ Try Them On and Try, Try, Try Them Again
Try wearing them for an hour or two every once in a while, to get them worn in, so that they fit comfortably on your wedding day. If you really want to go all out, try dancing in them to really wear them in. BONUS: Try Indoors or on carpet just in case you need to return them.
7️⃣ Determine if You want Re-wearability or One & Done
If you’re looking for something sentimental, then look for one that is special enough to be passed down as a family heirloom. If you’re looking for practicality, then focus your search on shoes that you can re-wear after your wedding day. Instead of an ivory or white shoe, look for a nude heel, or go bold with a black beauty. (Especially if your dress is long enough to hide your shoe.)
8️⃣ Buy Multiple Shoes & Swap throughout Your Big Day
Remember that it’s totally acceptable to have a pair for the ceremony and another for the reception. If brides are allowed to change wedding dresses, then the same thing applies to wedding shoes! Most brides will wear a heel for their ceremony and for pictures but will swap out for a Sandal or flat shoe for the reception. BONUS: Jeweled Gym Shoes are trendy. Lots of custom shops are designing them specifically for brides.
