How to Choose The Perfect Pair of Wedding Shoes

Wedding shoes are one of those items on the long, stressful and overwhelming list of things to do before a wedding that, lets face it, we would rather not have to think about. The decision about which shoes to wear on this special day is, however, a very important one. It can determine whether or not the bride is still smiling at the end of the night and not in agony from a disastrous choice made in a rush just before the wedding.

When choosing the perfect pair of bride shoes there are a number of factors to take into consideration. These include heel height, toe style, heel style, colour, material and aesthetic design.

Bridal shoes come in a number of toe styles including round closed toe shoes, round open toe shoes, and pointed closed toe shoes. The toe style suitable for a particular bride depends on the season of the wedding, the style of the dress, and the bride's personal preference.

The colour of a bridal shoe is important, however, the shoe colour does not have to be exactly the same as the colour of the dress. It is important the colour suits the dress and is not a significantly darker shade of ivory or champagne, however it is very difficult to find a perfect match. In recent times many brides have discovered that a contrasting colour such as pink champagne wedding shoes can work very well with a light ivory dress.
