In your efforts to find the perfect wedding dress, the subject of the perfect wedding shoes will inevitably crop up. After all, you must be attired in the most perfect manner in your most perfect days from the tips of your toes to the last strand of your hair! Beside, your feet will definitely be on workout mode on your wedding day, which means that function is as important as fashion, if not more so.
Function and Comfort
Five-inch stiletto heels do look glamorous. However, not everyone can pull off the look for hours at a time especially when those hours involve being on your feet most of the time!
That said, you have to stick to the heel height and shoe style you are most comfortable with. You need not drastically change your shoes style just to look world-class glamorous albeit suffering world-class pain! Remember the decorated sneakers of the bride in the "Father of the Bride" movie, which still complemented the look of the wedding dress?
Also in the function department, you have to watch out for shoes with skinny straps and jeweled ornaments. The former will dig into your feet in a few hours' time, not to mention that it might not pass the rigors of dancing, running, table-hopping and other wedding day activities. The latter can catch on long trains and lacy hems, which can cause you to trip.
Fashion and Style
After determining the comfort criteria of your wedding shoes, you can then focus on its fashion and style vis-a-vis your wedding dress. You can be as trendy as possible although it is also an excellent idea to look for shoes that you can wear to other occasions. You will save money in the future.
There are many styles out there – pumps, stilettos, lace-up boots, open-toed, sandals, flip flops – and many designs with embellishments like rhinestones and ribbons, fur and fake leather that you can choose from. The important thing is that your final choice completes the wedding dress, not contradicts it.
Also, you have to remember that as with your bridal dress, there are gradations to the non-color ranging from stark white to dark ecru. This goes the same for shoes, too. You have to bring a swatch of your dress to find the exact match. If this is not possible, you can ask your local shoemaker to apply "bridal wash" to your shoes or you can ask for custom shoes.
In all your shoe shopping expeditions, you have to take into consideration the length of your bridal gown. So, you have to buy your shoes soon after you have purchased your wedding dress, not before. Otherwise, you might end up with flat shoes that do nothing for your floor-length gown.
If money is no object, then the price of your wedding shoes could reach sky-high, too. After all, if there is one day you can dress up in Choos, Blahniks and Louboutins, then your wedding day is that day!
However, if money is an object of despair, then it will be sensible to look for wedding shoes within your budget. You can even have flip-flops if you want to, especially for outdoor weddings. Beside, scrimping on shoes can mean that you can splurge on your wedding dress!
