Once you have found your dream wedding gown, it is time to start selecting your accessories. As every woman knows, the right shoes can make an outfit even more spectacular, and the wrong ones can leave you feeling uncomfortable all night. Here is how to pick the perfect wedding shoes, ones which will be both practical and fabulous.
The first step to finding the perfect pair of wedding shoes is to think about practical considerations. Where is your wedding taking place? If it is an outdoor wedding on grass or sand, you will need to be very careful about the type of heel you select. If you and your fiance are close in height, do you care about finding a low heeled shoe? Some brides worry about not towering over their fiances at the altar, while others do not give it a moment s thought. Do you need a vegan shoe? (they do exist!)Other things to keep in mind include color, fabric, design, comfort, and price.
The more shoe you have showing, the more important it is to try to match the color to your wedding gown (unless you decide to go with a statement making shoe in a bold color like red or chartreuse). For white or ivory bridal shoes, a near miss on the color can be unattractive. A great tip is to always choose a silk shoe to wear with a silk wedding gown. The texture and color of polyester fabric wedding shoes will never look right against the silk. As a bonus, the natural materials of a silk shoes will breathe and move better with your feet for greater comfort over man made materials. The color and texture match is far less important on a strappy sandal with barely anything to it than a traditional pump.
Try to select wedding shoes which complement the style of your gown. For instance, a lighter than air organza gown will look best with delicate bridal shoes, rather than a heavier looking pair which will drag down the entire outfit. Retro 1950s inspired bridal gowns are all over the runways these days, and the shoes which are prettiest with them are classic styles like D orsay pumps and closed toe slingbacks. On the other hand, if you have a wedding dress with a 1940s flavor, a platform or a t strap shoe would look fantastic. Strappy sandals add the right touch of glamor to slinky modern gowns, and flat dressy sandals are great for beach wedding dresses.
Once you have decided on a general style for your wedding shoes, it is time to start thinking about embellishments. Many brides like to have special details on their shoes which coordinate with the feel of their bridal jewelry. For instance, a bride who is wearing a crystal bridal jewelry set might like wedding shoes with a crystal or rhinestone detail on the toe. Brides who like the traditional look of pearl bridal jewelry can select shoes with seed pearl beading on the strap. These small accents are what take a pair of shoes from pretty to gorgeous, and every bride deserves to feel fabulous on her wedding day, right down to her toes.
