Wedding Shoes - How to Choose Them

A girl's wedding day is meant to be the best day of her life but it certainly won't be if she isn't wearing comfortable wedding shoes. There's a huge choice out there but think carefully about your big day and what's been planned before you choose the shoes that you're going to spend a whole day in.
I think that comfort has to be the most important factor. Your big day will be ruined if your feet hurt the whole day long and you know that pain always shows on the face so your photos might not turn out too well either.
Comfortable bridal shoes don't have to be plain or frumpy just chosen to fit your feet properly and your personal preference.
High heel wedding shoes always look elegant but you need to be used to wearing high heels or you'll spend the whole day tottering about and hanging onto walls to keep yourself upright. Added to that there's the danger that you'll fall over or everyone will think that you've had one too many sherries. So if you don't habitually wear high heeled shoes, don't pick your wedding day to experiment.
Low heel wedding shoes are ideal in many ways, particularly if you're wearing a floor length dress. They can still be pretty and elegant but without the dangers of high heel wedding shoes mentioned above. Low heels are an especially good idea if your wedding or reception is taking place outside or in any situation where you may have to walk on gravel or grass as high heels can sink or catch and will probably be ruined. Low heels are also pretty much essential if you're already taller than your bridegroom or if high heels will make you appear taller. Some people even choose flip-flops or trainers but that will depend on the style of your wedding.
Choosing designer wedding shoes will certainly get you what you want but they will come at a steep price. However, if you want your bridal shoes decorated with crystal or feathers then designer wedding shoes are for you. Some are even transparent so that you can show off your feet to best effect; don't choose these if you have less than perfect feet though.
Traditional styles include court shoes, peep toes, wedge heels, strappy sandals and pumps, to name but a few.
Some people choose wedding shoes which can be dyed a different colour after the wedding to be worn with a different outfit.
In short, no matter what your taste or style of wedding, choose comfortable wedding shoes which you'll be able to wear for the whole of your important day with a smile on your face.
