Choose wedding shoes that complement your wedding dress or other outfit, the venue and your personal style. Take into account the heel height, fit and the surface you’ll be walking on. On grass, cobblestones or sand, high heels are certainly less practical. Also consider your comfort, as you’ll likely be wearing your shoes from morning until late in the evening.
Buy your wedding shoes in good time so you can take them with you to your wedding dress or other outfit fittings. The height of your shoes helps determine how your dress, skirt or trouser suit will drape and whether they need to be taken up. This way, you’ll avoid any surprises during the final fitting. Break in your wedding shoes a few times beforehand so they feel more comfortable on your wedding day.
An extra pair of wedding shoes can be handy for the evening reception. Many brides opt for elegant shoes during the ceremony and more comfortable shoes for dancing. Think low heels, ballerinas, sandals or stylish trainers that match your look. This way, you can move freely all day long without compromising on style.
