Things To Consider Before Buying Your Bridal & Wedding Shoes
I’m sure you’ve heard or seen this famous quote at some point.
“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”
Whether dressing up for a party or taking your running shoes out for a morning jog, a good pair goes a long way. What comes to mind when we say good? Good comes with many layers, and it’s especially important when your legs and feet take you places.
Shoes have been an integral part of all our lives and are especially important on special occasions when putting together an outfit, especially on your wedding day.
We’ve compiled the Top 20 shoes you may want to choose for your special day. Perhaps we can give you some ideas on what to match your dress with!
Psst, if Cinderella’s shoes fitted, why did they fall out? And we do not want that happening!
1. Colour And Design
Your wedding gown is the star of the show, besides you!
Your shoes are equally important as they complement your dress and complete the whole look. You want your gown and bridal shoes to be a statement, especially when you’re probably taking lots of pictures, so you want to love the fit.
If your wedding dress is simple, you could consider a pair of shoes that stand out to give a little character boost but are still in line with the theme. Perhaps a pair with rhinestones, pearls, or glitter—you’re supposed to shine on your special day!
We don't want too much going on if your dress has more details and texture, so in this case, less is more! Try going for a plain satin or lace heel; you could also consider plain heels with a fancier strap.
2. Comfortability
We disagree with the quote, “If the shoe fits, buy it!”
It’s one thing to love a pair of shoes and another to hate it after walking in them for only an hour.
An ideal and perfect pair of wedding shoes is something you need to consider. You don't want to wake up the next day with a bunch of blisters and limping throughout the ceremony and party. You want your wedding day to be one of the most memorable and do not need to say, “Yes, it was amazing, but it would be better if my feet didn't hurt!”
Consider the heel height of your wedding shoes, the angle at which your feet are bent, the tightness, how it feels when you walk, and the material. Would it potentially give you a blister? Also, try a few sizes because you may want to size up or down. Take your time.
It’s best to break into your new shoes before the event so you know what to expect!
Bring some plasters and some backup heels to know you’re covered.
Better to over-prepare than to under-prepare!
3. Planning Ahead
Choosing your wedding footwear in time for your dress alteration session will save you much time and effort. You’ll be able to skip the back-and-forth discussions with your bridal gown company, and they can alter your dress to fit the height of your shoes. We want the gown to hang perfectly! Even better, if you have decided on your shoes beforehand, it would make the process more seamless.
B) Types Of Bridal Footwear
This could be a good guide for choosing bridal shoes that fit the shape of your feet. Everyone's feet are shaped differently, and knowing your feet well is underrated; it’s not always a one-size-fits-all situation.
Now that we’re past the little crash course on the type of feet you have and which type of shoe could be the best option, we’re jumping right into the different types of bridal wedding shoes you could choose for your wedding.
1. Pumps

Pumps are undeniably classic and timeless when putting together an outfit. They allow the wearer to exude a certain level of sophistication and elegance. However, you’ll have to consider the wedding location, as pumps are more covered, and it might get a little warmer in warmer climates or if you are having your wedding celebration outdoors.
2. Heeled Sandals

Heeled Sandals are an option you may want to consider if you are having your wedding outdoors or in a warmer climate. They will allow you to air your feet more, and they are a top choice since the straps make your feet feel more secure.
3. Wedges

Women who wear heels agree that the skinnier the heel, the harder it is to balance. If you’re having your wedding at a location that does not have such sturdy grounds, wedges could be the way to go for your wedding shoes, as they evenly distribute your weight. With their chunkier base, you will have more balance and control, and they cushion your feet when walking around on your wedding day.
4. Flat Sandals

Flat sandals are a statement piece for weddings at the beach or garden. You are less likely to need to bring a backup pair of footwear, and it would be even better if you had a dance floor at your wedding venue, as you’d be able to grace the dance floor comfortably and in style.
5. Kitten Heels

Do heels make you feel more dressed up for your wedding day? Do you prefer something a little taller and can go all day wearing them, but you’re worried about the comfort of heels? Fret not, as kitten heels are one of the most comfortable heel options, and you can still feel elegant in them. Since they are comfortable, you can even wear your wedding heels on casual days, making the most of your investment and getting something on the pricier end.
6. Sneakers

For those who are wondering if you can wear sneakers to your wedding, the answer is a million times yes! It’s your wedding; you can do whatever you want, and you’re supposed to feel the happiest and most comfortable on your special day.
