What To Look For In Wedding Shoes

Just like your wedding dress, you want your wedding shoes to be absolutely gorgeous. For tips on how to find the right shoes for you, read on.
Comfort is Key
It is of utmost importance that you choose a pair that is comfortable. Keep in mind that you will be wearing them throughout your wedding celebration, which is practically the whole day. You do not want to walk limply by the time you arrive at your wedding reception venue. If you are not used to wearing heels, make sure that you practice wearing heels weeks or even months before your wedding. If you know your feet are going to get tired by the middle of the celebration, find an extra pair of more comfortable shoes and slip into them secretly. You just need to make sure that your second pair of shoes do not get seen by your guests.
Heels
The heel height of your wedding shoes is also very important. The length of your dress will depend on your height and your shoes. So, if you have already chosen the dress that you want, you will need to bring your wedding shoes for the final fitting.
You do not necessarily have to wear very high heels. Remember that you want to be as comfortable as you can be on your wedding day.
Choose the Right Fabric
Silk and satin are two of the most popular choices for wedding shoes, mainly because they complement the dress so well. However, you can also have a different fabric choice for your shoes.
Personal touch
Some women wear boots to their wedding. Not only does this give a personal touch to the wedding, but it also puts more spice in it. Although a lot of bridal magazines feature stilettos as wedding shoes, you are not required to choose such design. It is your wedding, so you get to choose whatever you want to wear on that day.
Try them on
To ensure that your wedding shoes are comfortable, you need to try them on. The trick to finding well-fitting shoes is to shop for them in the evening. If you are buying shoes in the morning, chances are they are going to feel tight in the evening, as our feet swell at night. Also, if you are wearing a hose on your wedding day, make sure that you were a hose when trying on shoes.
