Choosing the perfect wedding shoes!

Getting married for me was exciting, stressful and frightening at the same time. When I got married I could barely walk with nerves, it was as though I’d had to much to drink.

I was so focused on choosing my wedding dress I left my wedding shoes right to the last minute. I nearly opted for what the bride did in the movie “father of the bride” where the bride wears trainers.

Although I am happy to say that I did not wear trainers, although I probably would have found it less stressful and time consuming.  I had 4 pairs of possible wedding shoes and could not decide between any of them.  I really wanted them to look good for my big day, but also I really wanted them to be comfortable to wear and walk in.

For those planning their big day my advice would be… when you are planning what to wear for your wedding don’t rush the choice of shoes to wear. I guarantee you that you will be looking at those wedding pictures of your big day and thinking “those shoes didn’t match”

The color of the shoes is can be quite important especially if you really want them to match. I would recommend that you take a sample of the fabric from your dress and match them directly to the shoes. Try not to do it from a magazine or online because sometimes the colors very often look different o the real thing.

Prepare in plenty of time your choice of shoes of your wedding shoes, try not to do what I did and try them on at the last minute. Make sure they are easy to walk in and that the heel is the correct height to avoid tripping over your wedding dress.   Any alterations to the dress should be made whilst you are wearing your wedding shoes.

You will look back at your wedding album and say “wow I looked good… especially wearing those shoes” J
