Hey there, beautiful bride-to-be’s! 💍
Finding the perfect bridal shoes is crucial not only because they complete the look but they also ensure you stay comfortable throughout your special day! We know picking out bridal shoes can feel just as overwhelming as choosing your dress because of all the options out there. But we’ve got your back!

Here are some essential tips to help you choose the bridal shoes for you:
Comfort is Key
First things first, comfort should be one of the factors to consider. You’ll be on your feet for hours, from the ceremony to the last dance at the reception–unless you do a shoe change, which we’ll dive into later. Look for shoes with good cushioning, a stable heel, and breathable materials. Consider what type of shoes you’re usually comfortable wearing and then look for that style in bridal shoes.

Reflect your Own Style
Your wedding shoes should match your personal style and complement your dress because at the end of the day, this is your day! If your gown is classic and elegant, maybe go for satin pumps. For a more modern and chic look, sleek stilettos can be a vibe. If you’re channeling vintage vibes, lace heels will add that perfect nostalgic touch. And don’t forget, customization is also an option. Our shoes, for instance, can be embellished to match your theme, whether adding some crystals or the ankle strap options.
Choose the Color
The color of your bridal shoes is just as important as the style and comfort. Consider your dress color and wedding theme when selecting your shoes. Classic white or ivory shoes are timeless and go well with most dresses, while champagne or nude tones can add a touch of elegance and blend seamlessly. For a bold statement, you might opt for shoes in a vibrant color that complements your wedding palette or even your "something blue." Remember, your shoes can also be a fun way to add a pop of personality to your bridal look!
Consider your Venue
Where you’re getting married can really influence your shoe choice. We don’t want your stilettos to be sinking into the grass fields of your outdoor wedding. So for outdoor settings like gardens or backyards, block heels or flats are your best friends. For beaches, we recommend flat sandals because of all the sand and uneven walkways. For indoor ceremonies, you can go for high heels to add a bit of glamor. Keeping in mind the practicality of moving around in your perfect bridal shoes.
Break Them In
This is a must that brides tend to forget about: break in your shoes before the big day. Wear them around the house–we find doing chores with the shoes on can be fun, try them on different surfaces, and even show off your dance moves a bit in them! This helps soften the material and ensure they fit just right.
Have a Backup Pair
We’ve all heard of an outfit change, so why not have a shoe change! Having a backup pair of shoes ready can change the game. Consider comfortable flats or sneakers for the reception or whenever your feet need a break.

Happy planning and we can’t wait to see which wedding shoes you’re going to say yes to!
