Every bride dreams of looking like a princess on her wedding day, so it is important that your bridal shoes are not only elegant but also comfortable. When I exchanged my vows almost 16 years ago, and doing the process of shoe shopping with my mother (the wedding director), it was WHITE SHOES FOR ME. I really like the colors and styles of the shoes that the brides are wearing now. Color coordinated! Check out a few of the our brides choices for their wedding. So, when selecting shoes for your wedding, see to it that they are comfortable and weather/venue appropriate. For instance, do not go in for high-heeled shoes for a beach wedding as they will make you feel very uncomfortable. Also, once you have selected your wedding shoes, walk in them for a few days in your house, to get comfortable. This will ensure that you enjoy your wedding day to the fullest, without any worries, in your beautiful shoes! Tips on How to Decorate Wedding Shoes (By Aastha Dogra) Pearls, Beads, Rhinestones, Lace... The simplest thing that you can do for decorating your own wedding shoes is to add a few faux pearls or rhinestones or a delicate lace to them. For this, all you have to do is to get hot glue, put it on the area of the shoe where you want to add these embellishments and then stick them on. Choose amongst pearls, rhinestones, beads or lace, depending upon the wedding dress. If the dress has lace, use the same on the shoe. If the dress is a bit plain, add some rhinestones to up the glamor quotient. If you do not want to go over the top with embellishments, simply stick some beads to the shoe heels and give them an interesting twist! Ribbons... Add some colorful ribbons to your shoes. If your dress is knee or calf length, you can add the ribbons to your shoes, take them up to your lower leg and then tie attractive knots with them in the front, for everyone to see! Painted Designs... Want to attract the attention of all the invitees to your feet? Simply have a few unique designs painted on your white shoes in some bright color! You can either get it done by a friend who is good at painting or you can do it yourself by using stencils. Paint designs that are so you - fairies, butterflies, stars, paint anything or any symbol close to your heart! Feathers... Add feathers in different colors to your shoes. Stick a few in the front and some at the back, near the heel. The feathers can make the shoe look heavy, so consider this embellishment for a winter wedding or for a traditional wedding at the church. Clip-on Accessories... These days, there are clip-on accessories available, which are especially designed to enhance the look of wedding shoes. These accessories can be added to the straps of your shoes, to the toes and near the heel as well. You have a wide variety of designs and shapes in clip-on accessories to choose from. Flowers, hearts, stars - choose any shape and make your shoes attractive. Silk Flowers... Get a few flowers stitched in silk fabric and stick them on your shoes. Choose the same flowers as those you have selected for your wedding bouquet. Or get the flowers stitched in the same fabric color as is used in most of your wedding decorations. Stick these flowers on your wedding shoes, to lend them an airy, natural and spring feel. I love www.myglassslipper.com for dyeable shoes, they have them in a wide array of colors.
