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.

No matter how beautiful your shoes are, if you are going to be miserable wearing them; do yourself a favor and find an alternative.

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

- Try not to go outside your comfort zone when it comes to the height of your heels

- 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

Decide on your wedding theme – there are so many choices for a wedding theme , sometimes the task can be over whelming. Try to decide on the theme of your event at the earliest possible time because many aspects of the preparation depend on it.

Formal Wedding is the most common type of wedding. It is generally the most conventional of all the wedding types. It requires that the couple and their attendants dress as if they were attending a black-tie affair (picnic tables and plastic cups are a NO! NO!)

Casual Wedding is typically much more loose, relaxed and flexible. The focal point is on the celebration of the union between two people in love, together with their families and friends.

Holiday Wedding is a good time to combine the merriment of the season with the wedding celebration. It usually takes place during major holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day or Thanksgiving.

Choose your Wedding Colors – the importance of selecting right colors for your wedding day should not be taken lightly. Colors are representative of both seasons and emotions. The combination of your selected colors will generate certain mood or feel to your wedding day.

Aside from the fact that choosing flowers in season gives you a theme for your special day, it also gives assurance that your chosen blooms will be at their freshest come wedding day.

A few questions pop to mind.
* Are there any written rules that determines the type of gift a couple is allow to ask for?
* What exactly does gift giving really mean?
* What is the difference between a wedding registry / gift certificate and a donation to help a couple with their planning expenses?

Hmmmmm, I bet the question is not as simple as it appeared.
