If you are already worried on what to do now that you need this very precious item of your wedding day, don’t be. Here are some things that might help you prepare for that once in a lifetime event. Yes, every woman is a Cinderella on her wedding day. She is “the one” her prince had been looking for all his life. Except that this time, the prince waiting at the altar no longer holds the other half of the shoes you are wearing. But much like Cinderella, your shoes should be unique. The one that is only yours. One that no evil sisters can take away. But please don’t buy a glass shoes if you don’t want to spend your honeymoon in the hospital.
12 Midnight.. Where are my shoes?
Are you already cramming on where to get your wedding shoes? For some countries whom the groom is the one in-charge of all the wedding expenses, he would gladly agree if you can still use his mom’s wedding shoes, well that is if it is still alive after couple of decades. But fabulously, that is not a very good choice. The best place to go to is the shop of the wedding designer you know of and most importantly, you trust. A designer can fashion a wedding shoe that is of perfect fit and the one that will greatly compliment your wedding dress. The most stunning wedding shoes can ruin your special day if will trip or fall because you are not comfortable with it. If you no longer have the luxury of time and money, well you can head for the nearest shopping mall and try to see what they offer. Again, remember the two things. It should be fashionably beautiful and comfortable.
Finding the Right FEET
So you want to add more height? Most Asian women would dare to buy a wedding shoes with heels like that of a bamboo tree just for them to look tall on this very special occasion. If you think you can handle it, why not? But remember, if you have a long wedding gown, don’t you think if will be more difficult for you to walk around with those super high heels? You might end up having the most embarassing day of your life instead. I suggest that you stick with what you are comfortable of. You don’t have to impress anyone. Your prince already knows many things about you, especially your height. And most of your guests probably knows that too. If you can already try wearing your wedding shoes, that’s better. Try to walk around wearing it for 5 to 10 minutes. If you don’t feel any slightest discomfort, well, congratulations to finding the right wedding shoes.
Colours
Queen Victoria was the one who made the white wedding gown and white wedding shoes popular in 1840. But most of modern day wedding already has a motif. You definitely can’t wear red wedding shoes with a green wedding dress. I will trust you on your choice of colors on this. But let me give you the meaning of colors to help you decide on your motif.
American Meanings
Red = Love
Yellow = Faith
Blue = Intuition
Green = Life
Pink = Beauty
White = Purity
Purple = Wisdom
Orange = Creativity
Gray = Sophistication
Brown = Simplicity
Black = Elegance
Crystal = Clarity
Asian Meanings

Pink = Commitment
Yellow = Earth blessing
Green = Prosperity
Blue = Wealth
White = Cleanliness
Gold = Strength
Black = Mourning
Wrapping Up Your Shoes
By the time you get your shoes, it’ll probably sit in your closet for a few days until your wedding day. But for early planners it might still take a while. If so, you need to watch your diet. Not only that your feet might be a bit bigger for your wedding shoes if you don’t control your diet but also for your wedding gown. But most importantly, make sure you store it in a place where is it out of reach from cockroach or rodents. I might sound like your mom but this is completely for your own good. Many other challenges will arise before your wedding day and you sure wouldn’t want a destroyed wedding shoes to add up to that, would you?
Well, I believe that’s it. I hope these information had helped you in some ways planning for your special day. Congratulations and good luck!

A wedding is one of the most important events in an individual’s life and hence a lot of emphasis is placed on the dressing. Although often overshadowed by the wedding gown, wedding shoes are one of the most important wardrobe accessories during any wedding. Well-designed shoes beautifully compliment the wedding dress and add to the grandeur of the occasion. Hence, designing wedding shoes has become a flourishing industry by itself.
Certain considerations are absolutely essential when buying a pair of wedding shoes. Apart from the special look, comfort is a very important factor. It should be remembered that weddings involve hours of standing, walking, posing for photographs, greeting guests, dancing, and most importantly, walking down the aisle. Therefore, the main criterion should be the comfort level provided by the shoes when worn for a long duration.
The height of the heels is also equally crucial in determining the comfort factor. The heels of the wedding shoes need to accommodate the length of the bridal gown. Brides who are not used to wearing high heels and are recommended not to try them during their wedding. If necessary, instead of using stilettos, brides can opt for platform heels matching with their dress and style. Flat wedding shoes are no less elegant than the high-heeled ones.
The fabric of the wedding shoes also plays an important role in determining their beauty and complimenting the bridal gown. Silk and satin are the two most popular fabrics chosen for wedding shoes. However, individuals always have the option for choosing the shoes according to personal tastes or the style of the gown.
It is also important to try out the shoes properly when purchasing the shoes to determine the comfort factor and the fitting level. An uncomfortable pair will not only lessen the beauty of the dress but also cause extreme discomfort during the entire event. Several top designer brands sell fancy wedding shoes in various styles, patterns, fabrics and designs online and in retail stores.
