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.
