What to look for when choosing your wedding shoes

Choosing the perfect shoes to go with your wedding dress can be a challenge. We have gathered some tips that will make you look amazing and will surely help your feet last throughout that special day!

1. Choose the right size

Getting the right shoe size is essential for your comfort – especially on occasions, when you’re expected to stand up or walk for long periods of time. Your best option is to try several sizes and make sure you’ve chosen the right one. Round and open-toed wedding shoes are the most comfortable pairs out there – stick with them to avoid getting sore toes.
Bear in mind that if you’re planning a summer wedding, you might need a slightly bigger size, as your feet will naturally swell a little.

2. Wear them before the occasion

You’ve chosen the perfect pair of shoes and you feel comfortable in them – great! But as you know, new shoes can cause soreness or even hurt your fees in the beginning. That’s why is important to put on and wear your new shoes a few weeks before the big day. In this way, if you experience any type of discomfort, you’ll have enough time to make the necessary adjustments or stretch the shoes.

3. Stay away from high heels

Sure, 7-inch shoes might look great in the shop, but don’t get a pair for your wedding, unless you’re used to wearing them on a daily basis. Remember: you’ll spend most of the day walking, standing or dancing, so you need the most comfortable shoes you can possibly find. According to experts, the best heel size is 3 inch (7.5 cm) – it is still very elegant, yet comfortable and looks equally good on taller or petite women.

4. Decorated shoes

They might look amazing but if your wedding dress is below your ankles or with floor-length, better stick with more simple models. Crystal encrusted or beaded shoes might damage your dress; however, if they are your dream shoes, you might want to run a piece of fabric, similar to that of your dress, over the shoe. If the fabric stays intact – great but this tip can save you a lot of troubles and embarrassment.

5. Take the shoes to the fitting

Your dressmaker will need to know the exact height of your shoes in order to match the dress length to them. Wear your shoes to the fitting to avoid any last minute panic. Also, buy your shoes in advance or check how long it will take for them to get delivered.

As weddings are being planned at an ever increasing rate if you are among the couples planning one then you will definitely want to know what the hottest trends in décor currently are. This includes new trends in cakes, dresses, accessories and flowers as these all come together to make your wedding unique from anyone else’s.

For example, one thing you will want to know is that when it comes to the boutonniere the groom and his groomsmen wear the more delicate they are the better. Men are starting to move away from the notion that having a “manly” looking flower affixed to their tux is their only viable option. This picture illustrates the use of a yellow rose to adorn their tuxes. And the best part is that it is now not only acceptable, but refreshing to include the color yellow or anything from the groom’s tie to their shoes. A yellow flower can be placed in one of these areas in addition to in the boutonnieres.

As we know, your wedding décor is more than just the colors and decorating scheme you choose to use. As the bride you are part of that décor as your wedding dress and accessories likely reflect your chosen theme. And since a big part of your wedding theme and décor is the flowers you choose for your big day you’ll be excited to know that even your headpiece can now include your wedding flowers. Many brides planning a 2015 wedding are finding a headpiece known as a flower crown. If you are planning a wedding with a bohemian feel to it (which is another exciting trend to look forward to in 2015) then a flower crown will fit in with the theme perfectly. With your flower crown matching your bouquet your wedding will become breathtaking.

To have the trendiest wedding dress you will want to gravitate towards either the vintage look or embroidered dresses with high neck lines and deep cut v neck lines. If you want to go in a completely different direction with your wedding dress will be the year of colored dresses for brides instead of simply for bridesmaids.

Let’s not forget the invitations you send to your guests as this will be their first real taste of what your wedding will feel like. Don’t worry if fancy invitations aren’t your style because they don’t need to be. The emphasis on invitations will be strictly on the font used in them. This trend means that the words you chose to invite your guests to your special day will be what are really important. The trendiest wedding invitations will include silver lettering, whereas in the past gold lettering had been the trend.

Following these trends will help you plan a wedding that will impress your guests and will make as lasting of an impression on them as it does on you.
