Tripping as they walk up the aisle, slipping as they walk on the grass \u2013 the fear of being the next wedding fail on YouTube! But have no fear. Follow these top tips and you\u2019ll be gliding elegantly down the aisle in no time\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Relax!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">When you are tense and nervous, you are more awkward and therefore clumsier. We know this is easier said than done but this aside, it\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbranch.co.uk\">your wedding day<\/a>, your friends and family are there to see you get married to each other, and they want the best for you. Smile, look directly into your partner\u2019s eyes and take a deep breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Go for comfort<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Ouch! There is nothing worse than limping around with sore feet because of ill-fitting or cheap shoes. Please remember that comfort is key here \u2013 pick a pair from a reputable seller of professional bridal shoes. The biggest secret of wedding shoes is they are designed to be the most comfortable shoes you will ever wear. Most shoes purchased off the high street do not have these extra added comfort features as they have cushioned lining and extra insole padding. Shoes with leather linings are also really comfortable as they mould to the shape of your foot, enhancing the comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Think about heel height<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Linking in with tip number 2, don\u2019t choose <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingbranch.co.uk\">your wedding day<\/a> to be the first time you decide to wear 6-inch heels then totter around like a bride on stilts with your bottom sticking out and sore feet to boot! That\u2019s not a good look and you are likely to fall over, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Get some practice<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">If you want to wear heels and you\u2019re not used to wearing them, then you\u2019ve got to practice! Firstly, relax, then walk slowly, lean back \u2013 it may feel unnatural, but you are compensating for heels you have so lean into them. Shoulders back, don\u2019t swing your arms but keep them at your side, one foot in front of the other, heel to toe, head up, smile and glide!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Avoid that sinking feeling<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Your photographer beckons you onto the grass for those all-important couple shots \u2013 but wait! No bride wants to be sinking into the grass, so luckily we have the perfect solution. We know of the perfect solution: Clean Heels, as featured on Dragon\u2019s Den, feature a large disc on the bottom to give your stilettos more circumference to stop them sinking in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">The right dress length<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Make sure you get your wedding dress altered wearing the shoes you\u2019re going to be wearing on the day. And remember, if you kick your shoes off later in the evening, your dress will become a trip hazard! If your dress has a train, make sure you know how to bustle it up before you start dancing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Don\u2019t get drunk<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Sure, you\u2019ll have the odd glass of champagne to celebrate the big day, but no one wants to see a drunk bride wobbling all over the dance floor \u2013 and falling flat on her face! You won\u2019t have had a lot of practice walking in these shoes so do yourself a favour and stay away from the booze.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Say goodbye to sore feet, blisters and sinking into the grass!
