sabs101 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi I am having trouble with deciding what type of wedding shoes to get. There isn't too much height difference between me and my fiance so that maximum heel height I want is 3.5inches so I cant have any of these amazing high heel shoes there are (not that I think I could cope all day!) the only thing is I cant find too many I like that have a mid-heel but keep finding some really nice flat sandals but Im worried that it would look odd as I do want to feel like a princess on my wedding day. I have a floor length wedding dress and when i walk and dance I can't help but imagine that sandals will make me feel too casual even though they are goregous! Just wondered what other people are doing or have done with regards to shoes?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Hipster* Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi there, Im struggling with my bridal shoess too! Me and my fiance are about the same height so I, like you, dont want a huge heel (dont want to feel like a giant!) and would also go for comfort anyway! Though, I do think a heel, even a small kitten heel, would make me feel more glamorous and dressy. I've been looking at designer makes such as Benjamin Adams and Else and they have some lovely shoes with a very small (1.5") heel. They are expensive though! Can I ask what sort of sandals you've found and where from? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabs101 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Here's the link to one pair of the sandals I like http://www.giuseppezanottidesign.com/item.asp?cod10=44286997RQ&tskay=4BB32194 also expensive though! I was hoping that after valentines day more shops would bring out some more wedding shoes but I've not seen any as of yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If your feet are going to be covered by your dress then I'd go for the comfort option. You have to be in the shoes all day and there will be dancing to do in the evening. You'll be on your feet a lot that day, so choose wisely. Alternatively, have the glam shoes for the ceremony and photos, but have some comfy shoes to slip into for the evening function. I've seen many brides kick off their shoes for the evening do as their feet hurt. It kind of loses the charm to see a barefooted bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabs101 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 The only thing is I asked the lady where Im getting my wedding dress from and she said that if I get 2 options then the dress would be the wrong length and I dont want to be tripping over it as I am rather clumsy anyway~!

Dark Moomin Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was planning on having some fabulous heels for ceremony pictures,and first dance etc and flats for the evening. We are spending several hours on grass so will need them for that. In my experience those brides that change shoes dont end up with the dress looking wrong or falling over. I recommend wearing whatever you feel best in, and what you think will suit your needs best and not worrying about what people say or think, youll look and be fabulous regardless!

Strix Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I wore hand made boots, not only because I happen to like them, but because the extra support a boot gives allows them to be more comfortable for the whole day. My dress designer (who was ordering the boots) was concerned about the height of them, but when we compared her sample with the boots I arrived in, they were the same Just practice wearing the same height heel as everyday wear between now and the wedding, and your feet will get used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evei Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Next have a good mixture of wedding shoes with little heels. You don't get to see them really if your wedding dress is long so seems silly to spend a lot of money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I've got some that i don't particularly like, 2 inch heels, just for comfort, you won't see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
