Start looking early

Don’t wait until you’ve decided on a dress to start looking for your shoes. Check out different styles online, on Pinterest, or in real life, and take note of any that appeal to you. It’s great to keep a photo on your phone when wedding dress shopping so that you can imagine the whole look. Ordering your shoes early will also ensure you can guarantee your size will be available in time. Furthermore, being able to wear them during your dress fittings will help you imagine your wedding day look.

sole Comfort

Your wedding day is not the time to test a new style or heel height. Opt for something that matches your comfort level to make sure you can enjoy your day without worrying about not being able to stand or dance the night away. Many brides will select two pairs, one for the day/photos, and a second more comfortable pair for the evening.

Flooring thoughts

Consider the flooring at your venue when choosing your wedding shoe style. A thinner heel probably won’t be the best option if your venue has a lot of cobblestones, or grass, however, it may be the perfect option for an elegant manor house.

Reflect your personality

Choose a pair of shoes that really feel like you! If colour draws you in, then don’t feel that you can only pick an ivory or nude pair. Your dream shoes could be there to make a statement, so why hold back? If you are someone who prefers to live more sustainably, look for a pair of shoes that you can rewear outside of your wedding day – consider the style and colour for something that matches your day-to-day outfits.

first time

Don’t wait until your wedding day to wear your shoes for the first time. Wear them around your house leading up to you, no one wants blisters halfway through their wedding day! Potter about the house, do your chores, or dance around your kitchen to get a full range of movements in your wedding day shoes.
