[S383]Shoes For Wedding Dress

by Sarrah Beaumont, Sar

In your efforts to find the perfect wedding dress, the subject of the perfect wedding shoes will inevitably crop up. After all, you must be attired in the most perfect manner in your most perfect of days from the tips of your toes to the last strand of your hair! Besides, your feet will definitely be on workout mode on your wedding day, which means that function is as important as fashion, if not more so.

Function and Comfort

Five-inch stiletto heels do look glamorous. However, not everybody can pull off the look for hours at a time especially when those hours involve being on your feet most of the time!

That said, you have to stick to the heel height and shoe style you are most comfortable with. You need not drastically change your shoes style just to look world-class glamorous albeit suffering world-class pain! Remember the decorated sneakers of the bride in the "Father of the Bride" movie, which still complemented the look of the wedding dress?

Also in the function department, you have to watch out for shoes with skinny straps and jeweled ornaments. The former will dig into your feet in a few hours' time, not to mention that it might not pass the rigors of dancing, running, table-hopping and other wedding day activities. The latter can catch on long trains and lacy hems, which can cause you to trip.

Fashion and Style

After determining the comfort criteria of your wedding shoes, you can then focus on its fashion and style vis-?-vis your wedding dress. You can be as trendy as possible though it is also an excellent idea to look for shoes that you can wear to other occasions. You will save money in the future.

There are many styles out there - pumps, stilettos, lace-up boots, open-toed, sandals, flip flops - and many designs with embellishments like rhinestones and ribbons, fur and fake leather that you can choose from. The important thing is that your final choice complements the wedding dress, not contradicts it.

Also, you have to remember that as with your bridal dress, there are gradations to the non-color ranging from stark white to dark ecru. This goes the same for shoes, too. You have to bring a swatch of your dress to find the exact match. If this is not possible, you can ask your local shoemaker to apply "bridal wash" to your shoes or you can ask for custom shoes.

In all your shoe shopping expeditions, you have to take into consideration the length of your bridal gown. Thus, you have to buy your shoes soon after you have purchased your wedding dress, not before. Otherwise, you might end up with flat shoes that do nothing for your floor-length gown.

If money is no object, then the price of your wedding shoes could reach sky-high, too. After all, if there is one day you can dress up in Choos, Blahniks and Louboutins, then your wedding day is that day!

However, if money is an object of despair, then it will be sensible to look for wedding shoes within your budget. You can even have flip-flops if you want to, especially for outdoor weddings. Besides, scrimping on shoes can mean that you can splurge on your wedding dress!

When looking for the right shoes to go with your wedding dress, you will need to consider a couple of things. First off, you will of course need to match the colors. Not all whites are the same, so it is important to bring along the same shoes or replica along with you when shopping for a dress. This way you can ensure that the dress is the same color or can be altered to be the same color. It is a lot harder to find shoes that match a specific dress, than it is to find a dress that matches shoes, so you may want to consider picking out your shoes first. If your gown will be two toned, it will likely be custom made. This is a good idea either way because then you can have the dress and shoes perfectly matched.

Another factor is the design and height of the shoe; this will determine how the bottom of the wedding gown will be altered. It is said that you should wear simple shoes with a detailed dress and fancy shoes with a simple gown. It may be hard to find fancy shoes for a detailed dress because of all that is going on with it. Eliminate this frustration by following this advice.

One of the most popular shoes for wedding dresses is the Fairy Tale Cinderella slippers. Of course these aren't really made of glass, but a clear material. Depending on the style of your wedding (whether it be beach front, garden style, bohemian or in a church) will determine which type of shoes to wear. Some have even decided to wear flats with their wedding gowns, especially those who do not want to appear taller than their groom.

If you too are looking for a low-heel shoe, you can go with Daisy from Shelley George. These are simple quarter-inch heel shoes; the humps on this shoe are dyeable, so you can have it in any color you wish. You can have these in satin and they come in medium and wide sizes. Other dyable shoes are available like the Allure, which has a higher heel at two and three-quarters inch is available at an affordable price. These would be on your simple shoe list.

For a unique and flashy style, the Grazia Alicia bridal shoes are the top pick. They have sandal-style straps with a jeweled strip that comes down the middle. These are available in colors like pearl ivory and diamond white. These shoes are more on the fancier side, but could definitely pass as a simple shoe with a complicated dress.

Christian Lacroix also makes very elegant bridal shoes. He has dyeable and glass-style wedding shoes. Something stunning yet simple is easy to spot with this designer.

If you want to show a little bit of toe without baring all, try Fifi's Maisie. This is a three and a half-inch heeled shoe that comes in white and ivory. It has a strap on the back and has a small opening in the front to give a hint of your newly pedicured toes.

There are many different shoe styles out there. See which designer has similar taste to yours. If you have a hard time finding the exact color you want, go with a dyeable shoe.
