Choosing Your Wedding Dress Shoes

Don’t stress about finding your bridal shoes. It is a fairly easy process if you go in prepared. Below are some tips tips to help you out! Think about what type of formal shoes you like to wear in everyday life… and then spruce them up from there. Consider buying two pairs–one for the ceremony and one for the reception. This way, you can show off your shoes in pictures, but still be comfortable the rest of the evening. Get creative with color. Don’t try to match your shoes to your wedding dress exactly. Consider silver, gold, red, or even blue. This year the pop of color at the feet is huge! Plus, if you choose a blue, you have the “something blue” covered… double duty! Another trend is to add a brooch to each shoe for bling. Go to all types of shoe stores. A bridal wedding dress shoe does not have to be purchased in a bridal store. Plus, you may save a lot of money shopping at a department store!

How Can I break in my shoes effectively?

One month before the wedding start wearing your shoes at home (not outside) for about an hour at a time, and work up the wearing them for three or four hours. That way you will know if the shoe you choose is the right shoe for your wedding. To further comfort, insert self-adhesive pads to cushion the balls of your feet ad add heel grips so your feet wont slip, or rubber pads (available at shoe repair shops) to the soles of your shoes.
