The Wedding Shoes Capture the Beauty of the Cinderella Dream
As wedding planning becomes more intense, brides often overlook items that would seem obvious to anyone not actively involved in planning a wedding. Every brides needs to purchase comfortable, quality wedding shoes for the wedding and reception. Whether the bride is searching for the perfect blend of fabric, stitching and sequins or simple satin ballet slippers, the bridal shoe is one of the most noticed accessories the bride will wear.
Many brides forget that their wedding shoes are not invisible. Many will sneak into the ceremony wearing tennis shoes that are more comfortable that beautiful because their dress is long and "no one is going to see them anyway". There could never be a more inaccurate statement uttered in the world. Bridal shoes are seen throughout the entire day, whether it is walking down the aisle to the groom, while standing at the alter with the groom reciting the vows, the first dance, getting in and out of the car, removing the garter and other the other times when the bride lifts her skirts slightly to walk around the room or to move through the crowd. Bridal shoes are absolutely one of the most noticed items in the bride's whole ensemble, not considering the importance of the wedding gown.
Take Time to Shop for the Most Comfortable and Suitable Wedding Shoes Possible
Remember that this is your wedding and you will want to enjoy every minute of it. If you purchase ill fitting shoes or something extremely uncomfortable immediately after you put it on, do not believe "it will stretch". These shoes are intended to be worn for one day and they should provide comfort the entire time that you are wearing them, not an increasing pain and discomfort that will ultimately ruin your entire evening. Remember comfort is absolutely fundamental as you will be on your feet almost the entire day.
Buying an expensive wedding shoe is no more the answer than buying a cheap shoe. What would be best is to shop an end of season sale in your local department store, looking for a quality shoe in white or bone color or any other color that will match your gown. Spring shoe sales often have wonderful quality shoes and minimal pricing in order to more the stock for the summer stock. If you have planned your wedding so that you can visit a department store end of spring season sale, you will be able to locate many fabulous deals for your wedding shoe needs. If you find a quality pair of shoes, it would be a good idea to purchase two pairs so that you can switch back and forth during the entire event. Changing shoes is often a great way to relax your feet and ease the pressure of having worn the same pair of shoes all day.
I know a bride that was able to purchase $75 dollar shoes for $11 on the ultimate clearance sale. These quality shoes were well manufactured, comfortable on her feet and best of all, on sale. She purchased two pairs of bone colored wedding shoes for her wedding for less than half of the original price for one pair. Don't be afraid to save money wherever you can.
