If you are not one hundred per cent certain about a certain pair of shoes then there is every chance you just won’t buy them. The same applies to wedding shoes, which need to be perfect for that perfect day to be a reality.

The main thing you should be considering when choosing wedding shoes is your comfort. If they are not comfortable then you are going to spend the day wincing and cursing as you are whisked from one venue to the next, standing up, then sitting down, and at some point being asked to dance, both romantically and energetically.

In addition, you’ll be walking down the aisle, which is something that you will have to practise to get right. Feeling pain as you do simply isn’t going to help. Add to this the posing for photographers, which could end up taking hours, and you really will have to be wearing shoes that are comfortable and easy to wear. The day is long and this means that you could end up spending hours and hours on feet that are going through lots of pain. So ensure that you choose wisely.

You also need to ensure that you are comfortable wearing high heels. The wedding dress will be designed so that it fits well with the height of the shoes. This will often mean high heels. If you don’t normally wear heels then there may be a problem. You may need to practise this, including the dancing part.

You of course do not have to wear high heels; it is just a common practise. You can try some other shoe variants. You could consider the option of platform heels for example, or trying out lower kitten heels. There are a number of options available, and it is worth asking footwear retailers what they think would be a good alternative to high heels with your wedding dress.
The shoes themselves are commonly constructed from either silk or satin. This again is just a matter of tradition, and you shouldnt feel obliged follow this if you do not want to. You may just find that most retailers offer these two materials when you visit to choose your wedding shoes. If you are wearing a dress that has something of the unconventional about it as regards material, then by all means make your shoes reflect this mood by using the same material for those too. There is absolutely no reason why you should go for silk and satin simply because its seems that everyone else does.

One extra tip for buying wedding shoes concerns the size of your feet. What many people do not realise is that our feet are bigger at the end of the day than they are at the start. This is because our feet swell as we go through the day. As disgusting as this sounds, it is perfectly normal, and just requires that you visit a shop to buy shoes towards the end of the day, as this is when our feet tend to be the biggest.

Don’t focus all your time on getting the right wedding shoes as it is just as important to get your entire wedding outfit right.  You will also want to spend just as much time finding a suitably stunning wedding dress and no wedding outfit will be complete without some vintage wedding jewellery!
