5 tips for choosing wedding shoes

On one of the most important days of your life, the last thing you want is to find yourself in uncomfortable shoes, unable to match your suit perfectly. If you are reading these lines you are probably in the middle of the preparations, and you already have a lot to think about. But finding the right shoes might be easier than you think.

Today I want to give you some suggestions, inspired by some of the questions I get asked most frequently.

What's the first thing to think about?

The answer is not the shoes, but the dress. Just him. The suit, dress or suit you will wear defines the style of accessories and shoes.

Classic dress or boho chic? Minimal or full of details? Even the play of shapes and fabrics should not be underestimated. The slipper could have the task of embellishing simple fabrics or of gently accompanying very rich textures.

It might look like that the shoes are less important, but if you think about it, according to what I just said, they can really make a difference and add a very personal touch. For this, I recommend choosing a handmade shoe – and if you are interested you can peek here – because it has all the potential to be deeply yours.

Fortunately, comfort and aesthetics are good friends and this report will come in handy.

The wide or spool heel, as in our Begonia, certainly makes walking stable and comfortable, a faithful ally of brides who love heels, but who hardly tolerate them throughout the day. If, on the other hand, they are your daily bread, I suggest you choose a heel of the height you are used to wearing. The watchword is: feel at ease.

custom shoe it could be for you, because it is able to satisfy all needs – even aesthetic ones.

How to find a wedding shoe to wear on other occasions too?

Sometimes investing in a quality shoe also means extending its life, and not just using it on your wedding day. I advise you to go on a footwear whose design is detached from current trends, like the evergreen décolleté with ankle strap. An example? Our Almond, an iconic Mary Jane.

you can choose colorful shoes, as the romantic Azure, with special processes such as the Lisas with embroidery, and with fantasies, as the refined Walnut with wild field print, or glitter, as the Mallowswhich immediately recall a festive atmosphere.

You can wear them with the wedding dress but also on other occasions the following year - and the one after that. It's still.

I don't like to show off my feet, what is the most suitable wedding shoe?

I have noticed that some people don't like to show their feet on occasions other than the beach. If you also recognize yourself in this need, choose sandals from closed toe, or open-toe whose opening And shy and snug, as our Medlars embellished with hot stamped forest motifs – designed exclusively for us by illustrator Elaine Ferreira.

Or the Charlie,a slipper with a retro design inspired by the ballerinas of the early twentieth century, with a closed toe and a T-strap. 

Also, favor natural materials, such as leather or jute, to make the foot you breathe. Textile shoes are also a great solution for non-leather wearers: the Anita slipper in jute, in fact, it is all Vegan. The lining is in bamboo and the sole in rubber.

Is it possible to make a truly unrepeatable wedding shoe?

The handcrafted shoe is already the antithesis of the mass-produced shoe. If you add the fact that you can customize, each shoe can be unique, but above all fully express the bride who will wear it.
