How To Pick The Right Wedding Shoes To Pair With Your Wedding Dress

Richard Nieves January 25, 2022

Nail Your Style

As your considering your options, consider the overall aesthetic you’re going for with your wedding. Think about the materials of the shoe that will tie with your dress.

Pick The Dress First

Speaking of the dress, make sure that is the first thing you have before buying a pair of shoes to match. It’ll help pave the way towards the type of shoe you get.

Start The Search

Start your online search for the perfect shoes in places like Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. Their online selection is massive compared to their in store options.

Try Them On

Before you put in your credit card information, make sure you can actually go in store to try on selections before committing. You don’t want to purchase a pair of shoes that look absolutely divine, only to realize the size you need in that particular shoe is a bit on the small side.

Color!

You don’t have to go with the classic, elegenat white shoes for your wedding day. A pop of color really add some flair to your outfit. Feeling bold? Add metalics or a little glitter to the mix.

Consider The Venue

Will your ceremony be on a flat, hard surface, or will it be on a lawn or another large green grass situation? Get the right shoe so you’re not tripping or stuck in the ground as you’re attempting to walk down the aisle.

Comfort Is Key

This is a big tip! Get comfortable shoes! Nothing is worse than standing for 5-6 hours in uncomfortable shoes, especially on your wedding day. A low-to-mid-height hel and even a chunkier heel will make your day so much better. Also consider any shoe that can be adjusted with something like buckles or laces.

Don’t Wait!

Don’t leave this decision to the last minute. After searching and trying on so many shoes, don’t decide to wait for them to go on sale for them to disappear before your wedding date. After testing and trials, once you find your shoe, snatch them up!
