Wedding Shoes, Buying and
Preparation
A bride
should be blooming and perfect, just
like the wedding and the wedding day,
and for a perfect bride, there should be
perfect wedding shoes. To help you in
buying the perfect pair here is a guide
that you can follow to buy that perfect
pair for that very special day.
Choosing a color
There are different shades of white,
diamond white, pearl white, satin white,
etc. If you’re all for a traditional
wedding you can have white, but if
you’re one of the radials who like
colorful gowns instead of plain white
ones, you can still match the color of
your shoes to your gown.
Style
Aside from color, style should be your
next priority, your shoes should fit the
occasion and the place, and if you have
a garden wedding or a beach wedding it’s
not advisable to wear stilettos. For an
evening event, you can use strappy
evening sandals. Remember both shoe and
dress need not be fancy, quite the
opposite, wear fancy shoes for a simple
dress and simple shoes for an
extravagant dress, so that they sort of
balance each other.
Comfort
Now after choosing the style and color,
you must try your shoes on, remember
you’d be wearing your shoes for the
whole day, and maybe on the reception as
well, you’d be expected to be in those
shoes for more than four hours, and
during the reception, might be asked to
dance in them, you don’t want to get
blisters on your special day so make
sure that your shoes a re comfortable.
Also, buy shoes towards the end of the
day. The foot expands during the course
of the day and you want to buy shoes
when your feet are at its largest size.
* Tip: Wear your shoes inside the house
before the wedding, do this until you
can wear your shoes for 4-5 hours
without hurting, this’ll make sure that
the shoes are soft and comfortable on
your wedding day, just don’t wear them
outside.
Your dress and your shoes
Fabric
Wedding shoes should also match your
dress, the type of fabric for your shoes
is usually determined by the type of
fabric of the hem of your gown. Wear
satin shoes for shiny fabrics and lacy
shoes for a lacy gown. You can also use
crepe shoes for fabrics that have a
matte finish.
Details
If you want details on your shoes like
crystals or rhinestones, make sure that
the color , sheen and style match those
of your dress, don’t wear bejeweled
shoes on a gown that doesn’t have a
single bit of crystal on it or you’ll
look like an upside down lampshade when
the lights hit you.
Extra shoes
If you think that your dancing shoes
should be different than your actual
wedding shoes, and you’d want an extra
one, make sure that the heels of your
extra shoes match those of your actual
shoes so that your gown doesn’t look too
short or too long when you wear them.
Alterations
Remember to bring your shoes with you
when you’re getting your dress made or
altered, this’ll make sure that the
length of your gown matches the heels of
your shoes, you won’t want your dress to
drag or to look like its too short don’t
you? |
