You have a lot to think about when looking for bridal shoes. Do not fall into the trap that many brides do: checking out the shoes with the dress for a grand total of a minute and thirty seconds and buying them if they look fabulous.

Just like when you selected your groom, you need to choose shoes that give you more than looking fabulous with your formalwear. While you're wearing your shoes, you need to think about the fact that your wedding and reception may last four to five hours in total.

While wearing your potential shoes, you need to ask yourself the Big Three Bridal Shoes questions:

1. Can I walk in these?
2. Can I stand in these for more than a few minutes at a time?
3. Can I dance in these?

Now take a deep breath, and ask the follow-up question that goes with each of the Big Three: Yes, but can I do that comfortably?

Walk around a little bit and answer honestly, no matter how much fabulousness you see. Be brutal with your shoes now, or they will be brutal with you during your father-daughter dance.

You may have noticed that "Do they look fabulous with this dress?" was not one of the Big Three. Not only is it not in there, more and more brides are realizing that it may not be a question you need to ask at all.

If you're going for a sheath dress or a ballerina gown that shows you from the calf on down, then, yes, you do need to put a little thought into the looks of your footwear. But if you're wearing a skirt that sweeps the floor … Who's gonna know?

That's why many crafty brides are beginning to use long bridal skirts to conceive oddly colored, weirdly styled, or just heavenly comfortable shoes.

You can use your shoes as your something blue, wear the pair you met or got engaged to your groom in, or just wear a favorite lucky pair.

For tropical destination or beach weddings, you may want to slip on a favorite pair of sandals or even go barefoot. A new trend among Northwestern brides is to wear soft cloth-lined boots under their gowns – and yes, they come in white – which is not a bad choice for any winter bride. If you like the idea of ​​boots but do not get much snow in your area, you might want to go cowgirl instead.

As long as you're sure you do not have to lift your skirts for anything, you can go down the aisle in a pair of bedroom slippers if you want to. Your wedding shoes can – and should – support way more than your arches. They should make you feel fun, pretty, and above all comfortable.

And if that one pair is just excruciating but looks so fabulous on you that you've given serious thought to ditching your fiancé to spend a long evening with your shoes? Well, you can always slip them on just long enough for the photos. Have your bridesmaids hold you up. They're there to support you too.
