Comfortable Wedding Shoes

Comfortable wedding shoes and pantyhose are a must on your wedding day after all you will be wearing them for many hours.

These should also complement your dress. The pantyhose should also provide a comfortable foundation with the cleanest looking lines underneath a full ball gown skirt or a narrow clingy wedding gown.

White or ivory color pantyhose are symbolic of weddings, but you can never go wrong with a nude color.

If your legs are impeccably groomed, bare legs can be appropriate in extremely hot weather.

 
Try and avoid ribbon, lace or fancy trims on your pantyhose these can cause your gown to look wrinkled or bubbly.

Keep in mind these tips when selecting your shoes:

• Keep the heel height in mind when choosing the dress.

• Buy your shoes after selecting the gown but before the first fitting.

• Buy two pairs of shoes in case there is a dyeing mishap or one of the heels break.

• Always, consider your comfort, especially in regard to the toe shape and heel height.

• Be aware of what type of shoe is flattering to your foot. For a size eight or larger, avoid a shoe which has an extended toe. If you have a wide foot go for a gradual oval rather than a square toe.

• A plain elegant shoe or sandal looks so much better than one with a garish decoration.

• Check the quality of the shoe as white shoes reveal their workmanship.
  

Your comfortable wedding shoes can be made from satin, silk crepe or faille. If you have a less formal wedding they can be made from silk shantung, linen, ultra thin suede or leather. White satin wedding shoes are the best for dyeing.

Wedding Shoe Types

	The Pump A beautiful pump is always suitable. Even a basic version can be instantly made into an evening slipper with the addition of beading, a beautiful bow or delicate embroidery.
	The Slingback A lighter and barer version of the classic pumps. A closed toe pump is a stylish choice for a warm weather wedding.
	The Sandal An ideal choice for hot weather climates and when enhanced with beautiful beading make a lovely evening sandal. Sandals in any heel height will go with most gown types.
	The Mule The mule has always been a popular choice for a wedding shoe. It is important that the shoe feels secure. Like a pump or sling back, the mule can be made more beautiful with the addition of some fancy work.
