Why & How to Choose your Bridal Shoes

Every part of the wedding occasion is planned with an almost military precision. A lot of thought is put into the bridal gown, but what about the bridal shoes. Most are unaware of just how important it is to find the perfect pair of wedding shoes. Bridal shoes are something a bride wears all day. If she opts for the classy killer heels with unfortunate pinchy toes, she is in for a pain-filled night. Be it sky high stilettos or bridal wedges, a bride's shoes should always compliment her bridal gown. Wedges are usually the recommended, safe way to go for any bride. They are sensible for any grounds and comfortable enough to be worn all day and night without a painful morning after. Wedges are structured so there is even weight distribution from the balls of the feet to the toes.

TIPS ON CHOOSING YOUR BRIDAL SHOES

1.    Find the perfect pair: - To ensure comfort on your big day, be sure to consider all factors including what kind of grounds you will be on. Try on multiple choices and styles of bridal shoes before making the ultimate decision.

2.    Break them in: Everybody knows that the most comfortable pair of shoes is the oldest ones. No one, however, wants to wear their ratty old shoes to their wedding. A good way to replicate the feeling of well broken in shoes is by wearing them around the house for some time before the marriage date. Do be careful to retain their brand new look and avoid any disastrous stains.

3.    Have a backup: The last thing a bride wants on her big day is swollen, blistered feet or a broken heel. Try to have at least a spare pair of shoes on hand in the event of any unfortunate mishaps. A good wedding planner will cover all bases and ensure there are no such surprises by advising to take this precaution.

4.    Try to book a pedicure: A great relaxation and stress relief therapy, but also a necessity to avoid flashing chipped, callused toes at your guests when your new groom takes off your shoes for the garter toss. Polished, buffed and attractive toes are what your guests and groom should get a load of.
