An Essential Guide to Bridal Shoes

If you're a bride to be, then you've probably heard the phrase "the shoes make the outfit." That may be true for some brides, but not all.

What do I mean? Well, if your dress is long and flowing or if it doesn't show much leg, then maybe comfort is more important than style when it comes to finding the perfect pair of bridal shoes. 

But if your gown is shorter, more form fitting, or has a slit that shows off some leg, then you'll want something stylish that will make heads turn on your big day and night!

With so many different styles to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect pair of shoes that fits your bridal style

As you get ready for the big day, it's important to pay attention to every detail to go with your bridal look.

Finding the perfect pair of bridal shoes can be tricky, but with so many different styles available and a variety of colors and textures to choose from, you're sure to find something that fits your bridal style.

You should consider just how much walking you’re going to be doing on the day itself

Find out what style of shoe suits you best by looking at your closet or browsing through magazines while wearing different pairs of shoes.

Once you know what types of styles look good on your feet and which ones don't, it'll be easier for you to narrow down which type would work best for your wedding day ensemble.

If your wedding gown is made of delicate material, opt for a pair of heels with no crystals 

Why you may ask? Well it may stick to your gown and cause some damage. It is a better idea to stick to something with no embellishments for this reason.

If your wedding gown has a slit or doesn't hit the ground, and you want to show off some leg, then your shoes are going to show all night

In this case, we recommend you go for a pair of high heels.

They’re glamorous, eye-catching and will make your legs look super long, which is great because they won’t be hidden under a floor length dress.

But don’t just go for the prettiest pair of heels you see, that should be comfortable to walk in as well.

If you are more about style over comfort, and care about how your heels will photograph, then choose something you would like showcased in your wedding album. 

If your bridal gown is floor length or flowing, maybe you can opt for comfort

If your feet don’t show, then comfort can be more important than style.

If you are getting married outside and have to walk around in grass and dirt, a stiletto heel would not be ideal. You want your shoes to be comfortable and supportive for all of those hours on your feet! 

You should consider just how much walking you’re going to be doing on the day itself

While you may want to make a fashion statement, it is important that you consider just how much walking you are going to be doing on the day itself. 

Think about what kind of terrain there is where you will walk: Are there cobblestones? Is there grassy terrain? Will there be gravel paths?

All these things can affect what type of shoe would work best with any outfit choices.

Don't let the brand of the shoe define how you feel

As you look at the shoes, think about how you want to feel. Try not to let your choice be defined by what other people think.

The best advice we can give is to let go of preconceived notions about what's expected and just go with whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident on the big day.

Buy shoes you feel like yourself in

When you’re shopping for bridal shoes, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed with all the options.

What really matters is finding the shoe that suits your personality and style, so whether your dress is modern or traditional, don't let yourself get caught up in trends just because they're popular.

It's important not only to find something visually appealing but also comfortable enough to not distract from any other aspects to be present during your special day.

We’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge congratulations on your upcoming wedding day, and we can’t wait to see what kind of bridal shoe you choose.

We hope that these tips have helped you in some way, come back every week for more inspiration and helpful advice.
