Tips Choosing Bridal Shoes

When To Buy Your Bridal Shoes
To ensure that your chosen shoe style will suit your wedding gown we recommend that you purchase your bride shoes (the ones you will be wearing on your wedding day) early, so that you can bring them to your first fitting. This will also help keep your alteration costs down and ensure that your dress hemline will stay consistent throughout the alteration process. It’s a good idea to bring a swatch from your gown with you in order to attain the best color match.

Bridal Footwear Fabric
Your wedding gown’s fabric and texture should match as closely as possible to the fabric and texture of your bridal shoes. Satin material at the bottom of your wedding dress will complement the glossy finish on satin bridal footwear and tuile or silk-faced satin complements a peau-de soie, luxe, or ultra satin texture (matted - no sheen).

Choosing Color For Your Bride Shoes
Unless your bride shoes are made from the same fabric as your gown, it is not possible to attain a perfect color match because of the textural differences between the bride shoe fabric and your dress material. Also, in wedding gowns there is quite an array of “white” hues. For instance, diamond white is actually an off-white color. When shopping for factory-dyed bridal shoes bring a swatch from your gown with you to match the color properly.

Bridal Shoes Style
As a bride you’ll ultimately want to choose shoes that you absolutely love but it is also important to be sure that your chosen shoe style will complement your wedding gown and not draw attention away from it. Traditionally, wedding shoe styles were limited to basic pumps but this year sandals are featured prominently at all heel heights. Other available styles carried by the Dyeable Shoe Store include evening shoes, flats, platforms, and sling backs

Wedding Shoes Comfort
Our best advice is for you to pick a heel height similar to what you normally wear on a daily basis, since this is what you are most comfortable in. The Dyeable Shoe Store would like to clear up the misconception that high heels are a requirement for bridal footwear. Once you have chosen your bridal shoes your wedding dress will usually be hemmed to floor length. In fact, most wedding gowns almost always completely cover the bride’s shoes, including the heel! Be aware that if you are a bride that intends to “kick off” your shoes after the service, depending on the heel height, it is probable that your wedding gown will be dragging on the ground. Ideally, pick the bridal footwear that you can wear for the whole day.

Bridal Footwear Price
Purchasing expensive bridal shoes does not always ensure a better fit. There are numerous designers and different brands or styles will fit differently.
