Preparation for a wedding involves a lot of things, but for the bride, her attire is the most important. A woman should look and feel gorgeous on her wedding day and finding the perfect pair of shoes completes her ensemble. That being said, it is normal for a bride to forget comfort when shopping for her wedding shoes, even though the shoes is the least noticed of her wedding attire. We are known to stroll a pair of shoes a half size too big if it looks great.

Food for thought: “Never get between a woman and her Manolos”

Most often, high on our list of shoe shopping priorities are look and color; thinking nothing of comfort and fit. Never forget you will be on your feet a lot during the course of the day, finding a bridal shoes that fit you comfortably and perfectly will be in your best interest. Remember, it is your big day and you are the belle of the ball, walking uncomfortably down the aisle will be fairly obvious; you have spend way to much money to be uncomfortable on your big day.

Finding Comfortable Wedding Shoes:
- Wedge or wide heel shoes will support your body weight a lot better than stiletto

- Choosing shoes with Leather or Suede insole will prevent blistering

- Try to wear a shoes with a comfortable heel height (Low to Medium heel)

- If you must wear those 3 3/4″ heels, have a comfortable back-up for the reception

- If wearing a lace bridal gown, avoid shoes with a broach design (Lace might get caught in the broach)

- Wear shoes around house a few times before your big day (Sometimes shoes are uncomfortable because they are new)

- Choose shoes that fit

- If ordering online, fine a local boutique and try on the shoes before ordering
