Firstly you want to ensure that the colour and style suit the style of your bridal gown. If you have already been wedding dress shopping you will have come to realise that wedding dresses don\u2019t just come in ivory or white.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously carrying your dress around with you whilst you shoe shop isn\u2019t exactly convenient, so try and get hold of a swatch of the fabric that matches your dress. Either ask the bridal shop where you purchased your dress, to send you one or see if there is something small from the dress you can take such as a sash or removable strap.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly it is important that you try your shoes on with your dress to check if the hem needs altering. Ideally you want the hem to sit just off the ground to ensure you don\u2019t trip. Bare in mind that when you are walking down the aisle, you are going to have a bouquet in one hand and the person that is giving you away in the other. You won\u2019t have hands free to hold up the front of your dress too.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You get what you pay for.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brides to be usually feel it\u2019s a waste to spend money on something that won\u2019t really be seen under a long dress and that you will only wear once. However, you are going to be on your feet all day so we recommend investing in a good quality, comfortable pair of shoes, which won\u2019t ruin your day with sore feet. Good quality wedding shoes don\u2019t have to break the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wearing the right shoe size<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you go up or down a size? We\u2019d always recommend going up. Your feet will swell as the day goes on, which means they will begin to pinch if you opted for the smaller shoe. Shoes that are slightly too big can easily be amended with insoles and heel grips and can be removed later in the day when your feet swell to fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A comfier pair for the evening.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you just can\u2019t resist those sky scraping heels, get yourself a second pair of lower, more comfortable shoes for the evening. From pretty pumps, to flip flops and customised Converse, there are styles to suit everyone. Bare in mind however, that if you choose to lower your heel for the evening and you are wearing a full length dress, it will drag on the floor, so be careful not to trip!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst the wedding dress is usually the most exciting part of your bridal look, your wedding shoes are just as important.
