Bridal shoes are an opportunity to dare to play, from the classic white, to gold, beige, rosewood or silver. Would you combine your dress with black shoes? Maybe not, but you'll be able to wear them with a black dress. Would you wear Carrie Bradshaw's classic blue Manolo Blahnik? There are multiple options of colors and prints that allow you to go out of the traditional. Glitter, metallics, tulle ribbons and pearl applications are also a way to give an extra touch to this accessory.

How to choose the right shoes for a dress?

When you go shoe shopping, run, walk and jump while you try them on. You have to be sure that they will be comfortable and all-terrain. Make sure they are soft-soled shoes for comfort and to avoid pain in the pads of your feet.

When should I try on wedding shoes?

To make sure your shoes won't fail you on your wedding day, it is best to try them at the end of the day If they feel comfortable, even then, it means you'll have no problem spending the whole day in them and dancing the night away.

What can I do so that my shoes don't hurt me?

Use them in your home several times before the day of your marriage. You don't want hard shoes that will hurt you.

Outdoor marriage?

If you're getting married by the sea or in a field or forest on the grass, forget the skinny heels. Choose platform shoes or chunky heels instead that will prevent you from sinking into the ground or sand.

And the dress?

You will only be able to choose the shoes once you have defined what dress you are going to wear Remember to wear them to all the fittings you have, because if they are high heels with a long dress, this should cover them, so it is essential that the cut of the dress is long enough or check that it does not drag if you chose low shoes or sneakers.

Types of wedding shoes

Marriage has different moments and stages, and just as there are brides who choose a more comfortable dress for the party, there are also brides who choose a more comfortable dress for the party, and there are brides who choose a more comfortable dress for the party. you can choose shoes for every moment of the celebration.

  • During the ceremony: whether they look it or not, but a time to wear shoes that might not be so comfortable during marriage is this one. You're going to be spending quite a bit of time sitting still, so you might as well take a chance with some steep heels.
  • For cocktail or lunch: The floor is not always going to be in your favor; there may be cobblestones, grass, stones or unevenness, so comfort and safety are key. We recommend you opt for wedding shoes with a bracelet to give you grip and firmness to your footprint, and a thick heel to help you keep your balance.
  • Party: There are two types of women, those who walk up and down in heels, and those who just the thought of being in high heels for more than 30 minutes sounds like torture. Which one are you?
