You have finally nailed the perfect wedding dress for your special day! How about the perfect bridal shoes? Finding a bridal shoe that is comfortable enough to be worn through the wedding ceremony and reception while being glamorous enough to complete your look to perfection can be a daunting task. Today, we give you a few insights into how to choose the perfect bridal shoe for your wedding in Nairobi.
- Buy ahead of time
Your bridal shoe needs to be bought ahead of time so that you can have time to make changes to your choice of shoes just in case you need to. If you choose to buy your bridal shoes online, factoring in shipping time will be key to ensure that you have the right wedding shoe for your ceremony.
2. Consider your venue & the weather
As you buy a shoe, consider where your ceremony will be at. Is it going to be outdoors, indoors, are you holding a beach or garden wedding? Also, what season will your wedding be held in? Considering these give you an idea of the types of bridal shoes you should choose. If your wedding is at the beach, you may be most comfortable in a pair of flats or sandals due to the sand, if your ceremony is happening in a chapel, you’d be comfortable in a pair of heels since the nature of the location allows it.
3. What shoe styles are you comfortable in?
If you wear sneakers and sandals on most days, it would not be a wise choice if you decided to go for 6-inch heels for your wedding day since it will be very uncomfortable. If you are comfortable in heels, by all means, go ahead and shine in them. But for those who do not wear them so much, there are a lot of shoe styles to consider, kitten heels, block heels, ballet flats, booties and even sneakers! Yes, there are bridal sneakers to consider ☺
4. Complement your wedding dress
Your wedding dress should lead the way as you make the choice for your bridal shoes. Always ensure that the shoes bring out the wedding dress in the best way since you can only do this once; on your special day. A special tip for you, heels will always look better for your posture since they help you be in a position to stand up straight. This makes for awesome wedding photos. Remember, it does not have to be 6-inch heels. All you need is a slight heel ☺
5. Wear them in
Remember we said you need to buy the bridal shoes early? This is important so that you can wear them in ahead of your wedding day. Ideally, two weeks before your wedding, you can wear them around your house, walk around in them so that they can get more comfortable for your big day. This way you will not have issues with your toes come your big day.
6. Bonus Tip: You can buy more than 1 pair of bridal shoes ☺
Your wedding day is your special day and you deserve all the comfort for your big day. You can totally have 2 or 3 pairs of bridal shoes for your wedding day. One for the ceremony and photographs, one for the reception and another for the dance floor. Who said you should be limited to one? After all, you only have this one day where you get to feel like the only girl in the world.
