Tips For Choosing Your Wedding Shoes
Your wedding day is meant to be the happiest, most carefree day of your life! The last thing you want is to fake smile your way through photos because your feet are screaming in pain. Let’s be real, no matter how you spin it, wearing heels for 8+ hours is tough. Finding shoes that are both beautiful and practical is key. Here are my best tips for choosing wedding shoes that will keep you smiling from “I do” to the last dance!
1. Comfort First, Always
Comfort should be your top priority. Your shoes need to fit properly, not too tight, not too loose. A pair that pinches will leave you wincing, while loose shoes can slip and create every bride’s nightmare scenario: tripping down the aisle. Remember, you’ll likely put these on before you step into your dress and not take them off until late into the night after hours of walking, standing, and dancing. Look for padding, support, and a fit that feels right from the start.
2. Bring A Backup Pair
As tempting as it is to splurge on those stunning heels, if your feet aren’t used to them, your wedding day isn’t the time to experiment. Trust me, you don’t want to end up with blisters before dinner is even served. If heels are a must for your ceremony, consider swapping them for a pair of cute flats, sandals, or even sneakers for the reception. I did this on my own wedding day and it made all the difference! You’ll still get those dreamy shoe photos, but your feet will thank you later.
3. Have Fun With It
The best part? There are no rules when it comes to wedding shoes. Whether you lean toward soft, classic styles or bold, statement-making designs, choose the pair that feels the most you. Don’t worry about what you think you “should” wear. This is your day, and your shoes are just another way to show off your style!
