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.

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.
