The Ultimate Engagement Ring Guide

Brides usually make one of three mistakes when picking out wedding shoes.

1. They may not put enough emphasis on the heel.
2. Some women do not pick shoes that flow flawlessly with the rest of their wedding attire.
3. The most dramatic mistake is choosing an uncomfortable shoe.

However, none of these mistakes have to be made. Here is how to pick out the perfect bridal shoes.

The first thing to take into consideration is the heel. Some brides are not aware, but wedding gowns are made for shoes with a heel. If you do not get a shoe with a substantial enough heel, like with classified flats, the bottom of your dress may drag. This can cause the hem of your dress to get dirty at your wedding whenever you are outside, or even dancing on the dancefloor.  On the other hand, if your heels are too high, you may find that you have lost that floor-length gown look that you were dreaming of. This is one reason that the shoes must be tried on with the dress.

However, the hemline of the dress is not the only thing that needs to be aligned with the shoes. You want the shoes to look like they were made for your dress. Satin or silk are the traditional choices, but there is no reason that you should not add embellishments to make the match perfect. Make sure that the shoes match your style, just like your dress does.

Comfort is crucial on your wedding day. You must consider all of the activities that you will be participating in. If you are going to be skydiving, your shoe needs will be significantly different than if you are planning on dancing until midnight. You must walk around in your shoes. Try breaking them in before the big day, but be sure not to wear them in any situation that they could possibly be ruined or stained.
