[W283]Wedding Shoes For Bride

by Jackie Shumpert, Jac

I had found a very pretty pair of satin, ballet style flats(I'm tall and my husband, well... not so tall). I did try them on and they did fit, but I didn't really consider the fact that I was going to be spending an awful lot of time on my feet, walking down the aisle, the exchanging of vows, dancing at the reception, etc.... Not only that, but when you're a plus size bride it is even more taxing to be on your feet for long periods of time, especially in the wrong shoes.

With that in mind, here are some tips to help you choose your wedding day shoes wisely.

1. If you have never worn high heels in your life, your wedding day is not the best time to try it out. Yes they are pretty, but there are plenty of flat and low heel shoes that are just as beautiful.

2. About ten days or so before the big day, put on your new shoes and walk around in them a little each day to break them in. Don't wear them to go shopping or anywhere where they could get dirty or damaged, just around the inside of your house.

3. Consider adding a pair of orthopedic insoles to your wedding shoes. They now have some that blend really well into open toe or sandal style shoes.

4. It might be a good idea to take along an extra pair of shoes that you already wear and that you know are comfortable. Change into them at the reception if you plan on doing a lot of high steppin'.

5. Don't forget to choose appropriate shoes for the venue of your wedding. Outdoors in a grassy area that has moisture could stain certain shoes.(Not to mention the bottom of your wedding dress). Same goes for the beach.

You can definitely find the perfect pair of wedding shoes that will be stylish, and comfortable. You really can have both if you plan ahead.

For most women their wedding day is their chance to be the center of attention and they know that at some point if not the entire walk down the aisle, all eyes will be on them. This is why it is so important to choose a bridal shoe that will compliment the wedding dress and also show off your ankles and the beautiful toes with the bright colorful polish from your new pedicure.

Many women are taking the advice of those who specialize in weddings and wedding planning and are going with bridal shoes that have at least a 3" heel because the high heels make the walk a little sexier and also cause the bride to arch her back which also gives a look of femininity. In tandem with the high heels are ankle straps. This style has all but taken over the hot bridal shops that feature top designers like Jimmy Choo and Manolo.

The reason that the strapped wedding shoes are becoming so popular is because they offer such flexibility in design and they also help to hold the shoes in place where they need to be while at the same time looking carefree and open. You can choose from criss cross designs made from high quality satin which are wrapped around the ankle and then tied in a ribbon or you can choose a single strap design that uses some type of clasp to fasten the strap. This style usually exposes the toes and also features rhinestones fro a classy and elegant look.

The strapped variety of wedding shoe is not just for high heels. Even though most high heel wedding shoes feature straps to help hold the shoes where they need to be low heels can feature straps as well and add a certain look of beauty and elegance. This is important because many brides who are not used to wearing tall heels may feel uncomfortable in them and therefore should not give a second thought to buying the lower heels so that they are not feeling unsure of themselves as they make that important walk to the altar.

Even slip on wedding shoes are now coming with straps, of course they are in most cases the do it yourself type of strap but they can still be very sexy and elegant looking at a lower price in many cases. You can find these shoes in a variety of fabrics and in leather as well.
