Your wedding dress and shoes combine to create your complete wedding look. You want to blend them in beauty and practicality.  To get the look you want, buy your dress first.

Your dress is the most important factor you should consider first. The accessories you choose are also extremely important when it comes to picking out the right shoes.


&Typically the color of your wedding shoes should be in a harmony with the color of your wedding dress. Therefore before you go shopping you can make the right choice by taking a small piece of your dress with you.

& Consider if your shoes will be visible under your dress or hidden. If they are hidden, you can place more emphasis on the comfort than the beauty of the shoe.

& Think about how well  your wedding dress style works with the type of shoe you are thinking about. & Some shoe styles will accent the dress while others may detract from it.If you have a shorter dress, or one that is short in the front, your shoes can accessorize your dress by adding color, glamour, and sparkle to your look. Or they can overpower the dress if you choose the wrong style.

&Some dresses look incredible with boots, others with shoes; some vintage and others a modern sleek look. And the new trend of wearing sparkling sneakers is a statement all its own.


The important thing to consider is that when you pick your dress first, you can try shoes on with the dress and assess the total look. And it is much easier to match shoes to the perfect dress than find a dress to match perfect shoes.

Also remember to take the accessories into account when choosing your shoes. If you are not using accessories, the shoe might be a little flashier.


2) Be Careful with Their Heights

You may be obsessed with heels. And you are right! Heels highlight your gorgeous legs and you feel super chic and confident!

However, it does not always work in that way, especially when your groom is shorter.

Therefore, there are three heights you should take into consideration: your shoe height, your height, and your date’s height.

3) Heel Height

Guide To Pick Heel Height

Heel height is an important criteria when selecting wedding shoe. Ideally, it should be maximum of 3-4 cm platform and 12 cm heel. If you purchase a pair of shoes with long heels, you may have to remove your shoes at the end of the night. In addition to heels, having a platform means that the feet will be comfortable in this type of events. If you do not like shoes with platform you may choose the models with hidden platform.


4) The type of heels


Even if the salespeople indicate thin heels are firm, they can still break after long use. Therefore, instead of these models, which are called needles or nails heels, medium or thick models should be preferred.


5) The material

6) Weather conditions

Rainy Wedding

Selecting a show appropriate to the weather is another important issue. Nobody wants to get cold on their feet on this beautiful day, which is the part on the body the weather effects the most, and and ruin their style. So, if you are having a wedding in summer, you might prefer a satin-like shoe with an open mule. If a wedding is being held in winter, silk and a closed mule type of shoe might be preferable.


As far as the weather, you can’t plan for rain or sun, however, you can predict basic temperatures and chances of rain by looking at average weather for your location. Consider shoes wisely. For example, open toed shoes or strap sandals in the north in the winter months are just not practical. Not only will you get cold feet, but your guests will be wondering what you were thinking.


7) Harmony with the Wedding Venue


It will be perfect for you to choose your shoes according to the surface of the venue. If the wedding ceremony will take place in an area such as sand or soil, a very long and thin heel will be a disadvantage for you.


8) They should be Comfy!!
