Wedding heels
The perfect wedding heels are ones where you as the bride feel very comfortable walking around in them all day. Some of you may feel comfortable in high heel bridal shoes with 4 inch heels while others may feel better in flat wedding shoes. Whatever you choose, make sure you think through the following before purchasing your bridal shoes:

1) Will you be purchasing more than 1 pair? If you are planning on buying a back-up pair of wedding flip flops or wedge heels to change into, then you don’t have to worry about comfort and can really just look for anything you want.

2) How long will you be standing in the shoes? Many brides forget that the entire day does not just consist of the ceremony and the reception. You will also be taking photographs before the ceremony. In between, there is usually a cocktail hour. And, no matter what, high heels become uncomfortable after an hour of standing on them. The higher the heel, the more the balls of your feet will feel the pressure.
3) Can you dance in your shoes? Although some brides may want to be taller and buy wedding heels that are much higher, they should remember that they will have to do many things in these shoes. The hardest thing will be the first dance. Make sure you can dance and move around in any bridal shoes that you choose.
4) Are the heels the right height for your dress? This is one of the most important things. Regardless of how much you love your shoes, the heel height has to work for the dress. If you haven’t gotten your dress altered, then you are in luck. If you’ve already done a fitting and alteration, then you definitely should make sure that the shoe you choose has the right heel height for your dress. Use the easy tabs on the right to find shoes in the height range that you are looking for.
5) Finally, with your wedding heels, make sure that the color matches the dress correctly, especially if you are looking for shoes in the same color as your dress. If you are choosing a different color such as pink wedding shoes or blue wedding shoes, then don’t worry. However, if you want white wedding shoes to match your white dress, make sure the white of your shoes either matches the dress perfectly or is slightly darker than the white of the dress. If you buy shoes that are lighter in color or a brighter white, they will stand out. This combination will look similar to fluorescent colors against regular colors and your shoes will be the only thing people are looking at as you walk down the aisle.

Flat wedding shoes
Flat wedding shoes are one of the most comfortable items that a bride can buy for herself on her wedding day. The dress and the veil and even the heavier makeup on your face will all feel very uncomfortable. However, wedding flats will feel fantastic on the feet since there will be no heel that your feet have to deal with.

Bridal ballet slippers
Lately, flat bridal shoes have become much more common as many brides realize that they are standing on their feet all day from morning to night. In the past, towards the end of the night, many brides would take off their shoes or change to wedding flip flops. These days, brides have gotten smarter and have just started with flat shoes in order to avoid all of the changing. If you are a bride that does not normally wear heels, you may want to consider the flat shoes option.
There are many options for brides considering flat wedding shoes. First, you have the bridal ballet slippers. These are light on the feet and basically look like ballet shoes. These will be as flat as you can get. Next you have many options of flat sandals. In the summer, look for designers to come out with many different style flats for you to choose from. White flats will also be more common in the summer so try and look then. You can get open toe flats, flat pumps, flats with t-straps and many different types of pretty sandals.
Wedding flip flops
The other option for flat bridal shoes is to buy wedding flip flops. If your dress is long and touches the ground then nobody will really see the flip flops and your feet will be as comfortable as walking along the beach. With wedding flip flops, you can buy white or ivory or silver or gold and match your dress. Later on, you can take these on your honeymoon. There are also special bridal flip flops that you can buy that will have unique lettering or pictures depicting a bride. These are fun to wear since they are specific to a bride’s wedding day.
Whatever flat wedding shoes you choose to purchase, whether ivory wedding shoes or other bridal shoes, make sure they are comfortable and that you can wear them all night long. Even some flats can be uncomfortable if they are poorly made. However, if you choose the right pair, you will be wearing these again and again all summer long.

Low heel bridal shoes
Low heel bridal shoes can be the best option for brides who want a little heel, but also want to be comfortable on their feet. Usually, these heels can be ½ inch to 1 ½ inch shoes. There will be slight pressure on the feet, but not too much. The little heel provides a bride with some height, but not so much.

Here are some examples of fantastic low heel wedding shoes:
Coloriffics – Andie (White Satin) – Footwear
Price: $67.95
Filippa Scott Helena Bridal Shoes
Price: $284.0
Touch Ups – Shirley (White Satin) – Footwear
Price: $64.0
Coloriffics – Carmen (White Satin) – Footwear
Price: $69.95
For brides whose grooms are not as tall, or for very tall brides, they may want to consider the low heel bridal shoes instead of choosing something with a very high heel. The low heel will allow them to be comfortable all night long, but also allow for a little height and tapping of the heel as the bride walks down the aisle or dances her first dance. That slight arch of the feet will look beautiful.
Kitten heels
There are many choices for brides looking for a low heel bridal shoe. First and foremost, many flat bridal shoes come with a low heel. The heel can sometimes be a little thicker if they are Mary Jane’s or pumps or bridal sandals. These flats tend to be ½ inch or less so they are very low heels. The other option for the bride looking for something slightly higher is a little kitten heel. This is gorgeous on the feet and has a great silhouette. The small kitten heel gives the bride much better balance than the 4 inch heels. Plus, if the bride is looking for a tiny stiletto heel, then the kitten heel is the perfect choice. Finally, one other choice is a small wedge heel. This type of heel makes the shoe completely flat. The bride will not have to worry about wobbling around on the heel. The shoe will be raised from the back and will be very comfortable to stand on. For brides who are not used to any heels at all, this could be a great option to add height without adding any instability.
The other way to get the same thing is again by choosing wedding flip flops with a slight heel. Wedding flip flops will be completely flat, but have that extra height if you choose 1 inch flip flops. Again, if your dress is long, wearing the flip flop will not matter. This is a personal choice though since many brides want to match their shoes to their dress and flip flops, while fun, are not always the most beautiful match to the wedding dress.
After speaking to many brides about their wedding shoes, the ones that have felt the most comfortable, but still liked the extra height have been the ones that chose the low heel bridal shoes. If you are tall, if you want to be comfortable, if you are not used to heels, then consider the 1 inch bridal shoes option.

Beautiful Wedding jewelry Shopping
If you’ve had a hard time looking for the perfect wedding heels, then be aware that unique wedding jewelry will take a long time too. If the shoes took about 2 months, then give yourself at least half of that time if not more to look for your wedding jewelry.
Shopping for wedding jewelry is a similar process to shopping for wedding shoes. First, you have to look at your dress to see what color it is. Then, you have to think about what type of jewelry you want to match your dress. For example, if your dress is a more ivory colored or cream colored shade, then consider buying gold jewelry or a gold stranded necklace versus a silver one. Before you buy, take what you currently have and put it up against the dress to see how it looks. Also, if you want to match it with pearls, then remember that pearls come in many different shades and the creamier pearls will match better with the ivory dress than the white pearls.
After you’ve looked at your dress color, then, think about the dress style, including the shoe style that you’ve chosen. The accessories should all match so if you’ve chosen flashier shoes, then see how flashier jewelry looks. One good place to shop is a wedding jewelry place. These types of stores will have many different wedding jewelry designs and many will have sets that you can look through. The sets will be anywhere from conservative to really trendy so you can decide what type of look you want for the jewelry. Don’t forget that you have at least 2 pieces of jewelry to consider and you can add a lot more. The minimum you should have is earrings and a necklace. The other things to consider are bracelets both on your arms and legs and even jewelry for your hair, whether it is in the form of a tiara or a really nice clip. This is all jewelry that you will have to think about buying and matching with your wedding day outfit.
The last thing to think about with jewelry is the color and the stones. Are you thinking about sapphires or emeralds or something else that could bring out the white of your dress? Or, do you want to stick with silver or gold or something more traditional. Pearls are one of the most traditional pieces of jewelry that brides choose for their wedding. Consider these if you cannot decide.
There are many options for you to think about after you buy your wedding heels. Make sure you go shop at a wedding jewelry place if you cannot decide.
