The day of yours marriage gets closer and closer, the dress of dreams it is already chosen and purchased, but another fundamental element is missing that will not only be aesthetically decisive but will allow you to truly enjoy your party. Thing? Shoes, of course!
While mothers, mothers-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law and lifelong friends are recruited for the choice of the dress, the choice of the shoe is more "intimate" and personal, but no less important for the bride. If you don't know where to start and above all which is the best choice, I wrote this article to give you some little advice to choose the perfect shoe for your wedding day!
Comfortable wedding shoes, yes you can!
This is the first consideration to make. Wedding shoes must be comfortable!
The shoe must fit the foot perfectly, and this applies not only to brides: it must not be too tight but not too wide and must not beat on the toe. This comfort will be evident both immediately, giving the new bride a safe and balanced gait, and in the long term, when you will be able to smile even at the end of the day after dancing and enjoying one of the best days of your life.
So, after choosing the dress, dedicate yourself to choosing the perfect shoe!
What to consider when choosing your wedding shoe
What is important to know in order to have clear ideas when entering a bridal shoe shop?

Comfortable and beautiful
Lately we read more and more often in the sector blogs that many brides choose to get married with sneakers. Beautiful idea, also because we are tired of always and only being princesses but we want to be the one who represents us most, even on that special day. But who said that a beautiful shoe must necessarily also be uncomfortable?
We have already talked about it in this article of our blog even a high shoe can be comfortable, if made with quality materials and the right precautions. If you love heels, don't hesitate to wear them that day too, the key thing is not to get the wrong height, your shoes could become torture! From the classic décolleté to the more bon-ton slingback, from sandals to Mary Jane, you have many models available, all elegant and customizable, but what matters is the choice of the heel. You must purchase a shoe meant to be worn for many consecutive hours, on a day when you will be the protagonist, always at the center of attention. Therefore, prefer a wide heel, with a solid base, perhaps even with a small platform to give relief to the plant.
The alternative is a low shoe, even a ballerina, but one that is original and unique. But watch out for the combination! Much depends on the dress you chose, but we'll talk about that later.

Where the reception takes place
Another consideration to do before buying shoes, especially to decide on them color and material. If you have chosen to celebrate in an outdoor location, perhaps a beautiful garden, you certainly can't dare too much with the heel. Choose a very comfortable shoe, even low.
As for the color, if you choose to celebrate outdoors, a pure white shoe could get dirty too quickly. Choose a shade like cream or pastel pink, or dare with the color according to your personality, but without any fear!
Indeed, a colored shoe could also come in handy after your wedding, for any occasion or for an evening with friends.
If, on the other hand, the reception is indoors, you can really choose the wedding shoe you like best, from classic white to colorful.
As for the material, choose according to the period and location. If you are getting married in the summer, you will surely have to choose a cooler material and a lighter shoe. If the location is a garden or in any case outdoors, choose a material that is less prone to getting dirty and absorbing stains.

How they match the dress you have chosen
I have often heard that "I don't care about the shoe, nobody sees it anyway", especially when the bride has chosen a very long dress. False! Be careful, because the shoe will show in many moments, when you are going wild on the track or when you are sitting down. Also, don't underestimate the importance of ua shoe that "looks like" you on such an important occasion.
Choose the heel height according to the length of the dress, the model and the proportions.
Voluminous or mermaid, with or without a train, with a long or short veil ... the possibilities are many. Based on this choice, decide the shoe that will accompany you to the altar. A shoe that is too high could make the dress "fall" badly, just as a low one combined with a voluminous dress could weigh you down too much and lose elegance. If you have opted for a short dress, you will surely have more freedom of choice and less conditioning, indeed! You can be daring with a shoe that stands out.

When to buy shoes for your wedding
Buy them in advance, immediately after the dress. Your being foresight will allow you to avoid any kind of unexpected. First of all, you can do all the dress rehearsals already with the right shoe, avoiding last minute changes. In addition, you will have the opportunity to try and wear them at home to get used to and make it more comfortable. Wear them with a stocking, even if you're getting married in the summer: the shape will be perfect for the big day and you won't have to suffer for a second.

Consider having them made especially for you
Finally, artisan advice, dictated not by the desire for promotion but by the satisfaction and emotion that I saw in the eyes of the brides for whom I made shoes. Consider getting yourself making a shoe especially for you and for that very important day. You can choose height, color, model, material and customize it in every aspect, so that it represents you and allows you to meet the love of your life at a brisk pace!
If you are a bride looking for the perfect shoe, with La Scarpetta di Venere you will easily find the one that best meets your expectations - with high heels, with 5 or 7 cm heels, flats, ballet flats or sandals. Write me for any information!
