Choosing Beautiful Bridal Shoes
By Bridget Mora
Every woman knows that the shoes make the outfit! Choosing shoes for your wedding is not quite as simple as for a regular day. There are many types of bridal shoes available. Formal shoes are typically covered in fabric, although you might find the occasional metallic wedding shoe. The finest shoes are covered in silk.
Bridal shoes are available in white or ivory, and some can be dyed to match your gown (although the silk ones often cannot be colored). Your bridal shoes have a very demanding job. Even if your signature shoe is a four inch stiletto, pick something more practical for your bridal shoe. Try on your shoes with your bridal gown and practice walking to make sure that your dress does not snag on a crystal detail or in the heel of the shoes.
The only problem is that if your seamstress has hemmed your wedding dress based on the ceremony shoes, it will drag on the ground once you switch to the lower shoe, which will be very inconvenient for dancing. There is quite a wide range of shoe styles from which a bride can choose. If your gown has a bow at the waist, look for shoes with petite bows on them. Often a bride will tie her shoes in with her bridal jewelry. For brides wearing pearl bridal jewelry, opt for shoes adorned with scattered pearls or a row of pearls on an ankle strap.
Almost every woman loves shoes. Your bridal shoes will be the most special pair that you will ever own.
