Saying yes to a wedding dress can be a challenging journey and a highly emotional moment. After all, this dress is what you will wear during one of the most memorable moments of your life and something that you will reminisce about for a long time. However, your shopping does not end there because there is still one more important thing you need to do – buy the perfect wedding shoes.
Some might argue that choosing a pair is as easy as 1-2-3, but some still see this as a tough decision to make. Here are some things to remember before saying yes to the shoes:
Identify your style
Before even looking for shops that sell shoes, you should first assess what look you want to achieve. Some common wedding styles that brides go for are vintage, modern, whimsical, bohemian, and many more. When done choosing, you can be confident that your wardrobe choices will be more consistent and complementary, from your headpiece to your gown and down to your shoes.
Apart from this, another part to consider is the height of your shoes. If you want to look taller during the wedding or have a long gown, you can opt for shoes with four to five inches of heels. However, if you want to maintain your natural height while still having the right amount of elevation, you can choose heels that are two to three inches in height.
Pair it with your wedding dress
When choosing shoes for the wedding, look for one that will look good when paired with your wedding dress. It could mean buying the same colour or one with the exact details as your dress. However, remember that your dress should never constrain you from buying your dream shoes.
Do not be afraid to be unconventional.
Even at your wedding, keep in mind that you do not dress for other people but only yourself. It means that if your choice of shoes is something that you feel like not most people would appreciate, still go for it. If you prefer sandals with extensive details, flowers, or furs, go for it! Buy it if you wish to wear bright shoes and do not exactly match your wedding dress! Even if you like to wear rubber shoes or flats because this will make you the most comfortable, go for it. No one should tell you otherwise.
Make sure it is comfortable.
You will be wearing the shoes for hours so make sure you buy comfortable shoes on your feet. Some things to consider here are the height of the heels, the type of buckles, and the overall fit. If you are not used to walking in high heels, it would be best to choose shoes with low heels. Additionally, if you have wider feet, make sure that the buckles of the shoes are adjustable or comfortably fit the width of your feet. Also, never buy one too big or too small for you, no matter how beautiful the design is. These perfect-looking shoes will be useless if you spend most of your wedding day hurting or even injured. No one likes walking during the big day with a bruised toe.
Indeed, choosing the perfect pair of wedding shoes may take a lot of your time and energy. However, it can be easier once you plan ahead of time and utilize the tips mentioned above. No one wants a Cinderella moment during their wedding, so make sure to choose a pair that fits you well, is comfortable, and is beautiful.
