There is one area of fashion expertise I can’t mess up, and that’s shoes. As both a wedding enthusiast and a shoe lover, these are my best tips (and a few from my favorite inspirational shoe lovers) on selecting wedding shoes. I hope you “walk away” with some good advice! Your bridal gown is one of the most important pieces to your wedding, but don’t forget what shoes do. Shoes are not just the accessory on your feet hidden by your gown.

“Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.” Christian Louboutin (he knows a thing or two about shoes, right?)

Wedding shoe advice from a shoe-lover like you!

There are plenty of white or ivory shoes, but can you wear those again? When you’re having a bad day, you can’t wear your bridal gown to have a day filled with good memories to help you feel better. You can wear your shoes, though, giving you the lift you need in more ways than one, like Mr. Louboutin stated. Find the perfect shoe for you!>>

Blue bridal shoes:

Still trying to find the perfect "something blue"? Slip into the ideal pair of blue bridal shoes. There are so many different shades of blue bridal shoes, you’re guaranteed to find something that coordinates with your color scheme.

“A woman with good shoes is never ugly.” – Coco Chanel

Tip: Have shoes be your opportunity to have fun, be fashion forward, and be you!

Lace bridal shoes:

Lace is a trend and forever a classic bit of fashion. Lace bridal shoes are the perfect way to incorporate style and class. Check with relatives to see if one has an old pair for your "something old" and "something borrowed"!

“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” – Marilyn Monroe

Wedge bridal shoes:

If you are aiming for comfort, find some stunning wedge bridal shoes. Wedges give extra support that other heels don’t, and some are even more comfortable than flats. Tip: If you’re wearing a new pair of shoes for your wedding, wear them at home few nights before the wedding to break them in, or you’ll have unhappy feet the day after.

“Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life.” – Unknown

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t your wedding day all about feeling like Cinderella? Good luck!
