In times, when every bride wants to shine on her wedding day, feel perfect and glamorous, even the smallest details matter. But even when it wasn’t so, shoes were always important – choosing the right shoes would ensure comfort and style, would be the best complement of the wedding dress. But how to choose the perfect ones that will go with the dress? Here are some tips that might come in handy.
Go for comfort
We all know the temptation of buying the prettiest high heels that are incredibly gorgeous but too small or too high or simply don’t fit right. But oh, well, it’s worth to suffer a bit. When choosing the right shoes, keep in mind that the discomfort might ruin the most important day of your life, one you should enjoy to the fullest. Go for shoes in the right size, on a heel you are accustomed to – too high or too low might make your feet sore. It’s best to shop for shoes in the afternoon, as in the morning your feet are actually smaller and you might buy yourself the wrong size! Before the big day wear the shoes around the house for a few days so your legs get accustomed to them.
Location, location, location
Winter garden wedding? Sandals might not be the best choice. Beach wedding? High heels will only help you sink in the sand. Always keep in mind the setting of your wedding, so you wouldn’t have to fight your footwear for stability and comfort of movement
Complement the dress
It is quite obvious that when you have a light, plain dress you shouldn’t buy big, heavy shoes. What some often don’t keep in mind is that the fabric, pattern and colour are important too. Try to ensure that shoes are the same shade of white as the dress – too light might distract from the dress itself, too dark might stand out too much. The fabric should also match the dress, especially when it comes to shiny ones like satin.
When it comes to patterns and embellishments, it gets more complicated. Generally, the overall style should match – a simple, white frock should be matched with smooth, delicate bootee but they might look too plain with a heavily embroidered wedding gown. On the other hand, you should try not to over do it. The best way to go is to make sure that a hint of what you have on your dress can be found on the shoes.
Take measure!
Always remember to have the hem of your dress fitted for the height of your shoes so you wouldn’t trip over it or have your ankles unintentionally poking out from underneath. It is best to have the final dress fitting taken in the wedding shoes and the previous ones in shoes that are at least similar height.
