While the wedding day is a very joyous occasion, indeed, it is still quite stressful for the bride and groom. Wondering whether everything will go as planned and hoping it is as beautiful as one imagined. And since the bride’s wedding ensemble is an important and integral part of the special day, one of the factors that you must consider wisely when choosing your outfit is your wedding shoes. Not only do the bridal shoes need to look gorgeous, they need to be comfortable as well.

But there are many more factors to choosing the perfect bridal shoes to wear on your wedding day. For example:

• color is crucial to the overall look,
• heel height is important for comfort, style and safety,
• appliqués, clip-ons and embellishments such as pearls can add dramatic effects to the total ensemble especially if the gown is simple.

In addition, today, it is completely normal for brides to purchase more than one pair of shoes, opting for a fancy shoe for the formal ceremony, and then changing into little bridal slippers for the reception and dancing. Believe it or not sneakers have made their way into the list of acceptable wedding wear. Of course, they are called wedding sneakers and are usually very delicate-looking.

Finally, the problem with most wedding shoes is functionality, and in reality it is not specifically the shoe that is at fault, but rather the fact that in many instances, the bride hastily makes a decision when buying the shoes. She normally leaves the shoes to the last minute and hopes for the best. Needless to say, she ends up with very uncomfortable shoes that hurt and pinch the feet.
