Here is what you need to think about when it comes to your wedding day shoes:

Are The Shoes Comfortable?: While some shoes may be deceiving and feel comfortable in the store, will they be comfortable for hours at a wedding? Make sure to walk in them for a while, do a little dance if you have to, in order to see if they can withstand anything your day may include.

Picking the Right Height: While you may have fallen in love with a certain pair of shoes, is the height too high? You want to make sure the height works for you and that you can in fact walk in them. Pick out shoes you love in varying heights before you choose the tallest one.

Color of the Shoe: You may want to go with a metallic if you are a bridesmaid, because unless you are getting shoes that are dyed to the color of your dress, finding a shoe that is exactly the color of your dress could be difficult. If you are the bride, a white shoe will work just fine here. A trend that is still circulating is having a shoe that matches the color of your wedding.

Should They All Be the Same?: As a bridesmaid, your bride may want all of the girls to have the same shoes, it is important to speak up about the shoe choice so that you are not left uncomfortable or falling down the aisle.

Bring it to the Fitting: The best way to get a good idea about the length of your dress if its a long one, is to bring shoes to the fitting. It will give the seamstress a chance to see how much she needs to shorten.

Are They Picture Worthy?: Today one of the most popular pictures being taken are of the shoes, make sure to pick a nice pair of shoes for the wedding that will make the picture all the more memorable.
