For most girls and women, our wedding day is a day we spend most of our time fantasizing about! We imagine it to be one of the most memorable and beautiful days of our lives.

When it comes your wedding day you want to look like a princess but you also want to be comfortable. In this article we will be going over 7 Top Tips when it comes to your wedding shoes.
1. Dress First
I know how impulsive we women can be when we see a stunning pair of shoes or sandals. All rational thinking goes out of the window as the ‘shoe banshee’ possesses us. Be strong girls, you really cannot buy your shoe before you get your dress. Your wedding shoe, like your other accessories need to match your dress not the other way around. The perfect shoe is much easier to find, or it can be much easier dyed to match your dress.
2. Comfort
I know you want to look tall and sexy on your wedding day, but 6 inch stiletto wedding shoes, are not practical. You are going to be spending hours on your feet, and walking much more than you think you will on your wedding day. There are many places which sell ultra sexy yet comfy wedding shoes. You can also buy extra comfortable inner soles and cushions for your shoes and sandals.
3. Work those heels
About 2 weeks before your wedding day start to wear your wedding shoes in the house. This will ensure that the shoe shapes to your foot and that you can walk comfortably in your wedding shoes on your wedding day.
4. Elegant shoes
Wedding shoes can be bought in many different materials such as; satin silk, crepe luxe and satin. The most common material for wedding shoes is satin. Satin wedding shoes come in a variety of colours and can be beautifully done up with beads to make them even more glamorous.
5. Don’t step on my blue suede shoes
Elvis did not want anybody messing up his blue suede shoes, and it was not even his wedding day. You need to keep your wedding location in mind when buying your wedding shoes, as certain materials can get stained and ruined in grass or muddy pathways. If you are having a garden wedding, or having your photo’s taken in a garden or on the beach, then you need to take the proper precautions to not damage your shoes.
6. Dyeable shoes
If you found the perfect dyeable shoe, but do not like the colour, then you can have your shoes dyed to suit your dress. Dyeable shoes are great because they give you the opportunity to customize your shoe.
7. Razzle Dazzle
Buy a plain satin shoes and embellish them yourself with rhinestones, crystal or beads. This is a great way to match your dress with your shoes.
