Woo ‘em With Your Shoes!

When it comes to the big day, you’re probably focusing on the big things: your dress, your veil, your hair, your jewelry. But there’s one thing that you can’t snooze about: your shoes.

After you choose your wedding gown, it’s important to make sure you settle on and purchase what’s going on your feet. Soon, you’ll begin having regular fittings and the seamstress can’t make the appropriate alterations if your wedding day height isn’t solidified. I, Yenta Alison, typically stand at a Herculean sixty inches, and on my wedding day, I suddenly grew an additional 2.5 inches thanks to the glory of heels. My feet were comfortable and I didn’t have to break my neck to kiss my new husband under the chuppah who stands at over six feet tall. Win-win.

Your tootsies need to look great and should be comfortable, so picking out shoes is an important and thought-provoking task. When thinking about styles, consider if you’d like to use your shoes as a way to splash some color into your ensemble or if you want to stay classically bridal. Perhaps you’ll want to have twinkle toes, detailing with gems or beads. Peep toe, closed-toe, or sandal: all kinds of shoes that define your personal and wedding styles.

Also remember that your wedding day is a long day involving dancing, posing, standing, and, of course, that sweet stroll down the aisle. We bow down to you brave ladies who strap some 4-inchers on your feet, but for brides who are looking into more comfortable options or have low tolerance for high elevation, 1 or 2-inch heels are abundant in many styles, colors, and details.

We’ve seen brides enjoy their wedding days in ballet flats, bedazzled tennis shoes, and for that downhome country girl, cowboy boots! You really can’t go wrong. Express your soul with your soles.
