Think about all day comfort
If you do aim to change to lower pair in evening, consider length of your gown if your gown is being altered
Consider your venue – some venues with wooden floors don’t allow stilettos
Will they stand up to the weather?
Consider height of your spouse, you want to be at same level not towering over them in your skyscraper heels
Make sure they suit your wedding – heels will sink in sand at a beach wedding – consider wedges and in winter a full shoe or boot more appropriate
How to prepare your feet for your Wedding Shoes…
Wear your shoes in a little by practice walking around your house
Pamper your feet – regular pedicures/home care
So whether you are the classic Bride in ivory or white or you want to rebel against the status quo/think outside the box ensure you choose a shoe that makes you look and feel amazing…
