One of the most important things when shopping for your wedding shoes is that you need to purchase comfortable wedding shoes. Now, that doesn’t mean that I’m telling every bride out there that wedding flip flops or wedding tennis shoes are the only routes you can take when looking for comfortable wedding shoes. That isn’t the case at all. Different brides feel comfortable wearing different kinds of shoes, and some girls feel more comfortable wearing a pair of classy wedding shoes with a heel or other kind of elegant wedding shoes. So, if you’ve been looking around for a great pair of comfortable wedding shoes, and all you’ve been seeing are articles about how wedding tennis shoes are the only comfortable wedding shoes, that isn’t necessarily true. Here are some great ways to find a pair of comfortable wedding shoes that are still elegant and classy for your big day.

Trying on Your Wedding Shoes

One of the best ways to find a pair of comfortable wedding shoes is to try them on in the store, and be serious about trying them on. Try on both of the shoes, and walk around for a few minutes to see if there is any pinching, spots that rub particularly painfully, or any other factor that would make the shoes uncomfortable. If the shoes start hurting after a few minutes, chances are you won’t last in them all day at your wedding comfortably. So be serious when trying on shoes at the store, and take your time with each pair - you’ll be glad that you did.

Breaking in Your Wedding Shoes

If you find a pair of wedding shoes that you fall in love with, but they pinch a little and you think they just need to be broken in a little bit, be careful. You can try to break in your pair of wedding shoes by wearing them around the house or on short trips outside. (be careful not to get them dirty!) The only problem with this is that it can take a long time to break in a pair of shoes, and you’ll need to consider that carefully. If wearing the shoes give you blisters, you’ll probably get blisters from breaking in the shoes, and you want to give your feet time to heal for the big day. Also, you need to wear your wedding shoes with your dress while getting the dress altered, and if you decide later that the shoes you’ve chosen will be too uncomfortable - it could mess up the length of your dress. So be very careful when trying to break in a pair of shoes.

There are some good brands of wedding shoes that you can go with in the stores that are made to be comfortable wedding shoes for your big day. Just be careful when trying them on, and honest with yourself about how comfortable you’ll be in the wedding shoes you pick out. Trust me - you’ll be on your feet all day on your wedding day, and comfortable wedding shoes are a must!

I’ve been doing a lot of articles lately on wedding shoes. Partly because I understand just how important finding the right pair of wedding shoes can be for a bride, but also because I feel that there really isn’t a lot of information out there about wedding shoes. I remember when I was getting married, I wanted a pair of white wedding shoes that were most importantly, comfortable. First of all, my feel are shaped kind of funny, and so it takes me a while to break in a new pair of shoes. Also, I’m not real comfortable with wearing heels when I know that I’m going to be on my feet all day. That really goes for a pair of white wedding shoes that I haven’t been able to break in yet. So I knew that I wanted my white wedding shoes to be a comfortable pair of shoes that I could wear all day without my feet hurting. So when I was shopping for the perfect pair of white wedding shoes, I had some idea of what I was looking for, but didn’t really know where to start looking. So, if you are looking for the perfect pair of white wedding shoes to complete your wedding day look, then here are some great places to start.

White Wedding Shoes from a Bridal Boutique

Perhaps the best place to find a great pair of white wedding shoes is at your local bridal boutique. They typically have some very elegant pairs of white wedding shoes to wear with your dress in a variety of styles to choose from. Be careful with buying your wedding shoes from one of those boutiques though, they are not really known for having excellent prices. But, if you fall in love with a particular pair they have, then wait for a sale to be able to save some money later.

White Wedding Shoes from a Shoe Store

You can find a cheaper pair of white wedding shoes if you go and look in a discount shoe store. The only problem with this is that it can be really hard to find a pair of all white wedding shoes that you will be able to use for your wedding. I found my wedding shoes from a shoe store (Payless to be exact), and was lucky that it was spring time so that there were a few pairs of all white shoes that I could use for my white wedding shoes. Another idea that you can use to find some white wedding shoes are to use a pair of all white tennis shoes, which I talk more about in a previous article, Wedding Tennis Shoes

White Wedding Shoes from the Internet

Another idea for finding a pair of white wedding shoes is to look on the Internet. If you have pretty normal feet (unlike me, my feet are so narrow!), then this will probably work for you. You can find lots of white wedding shoes from different sites off of the Internet, such as wedding ballet slippers, or other wedding shoes that you can’t find near you. Whatever you do though, find a great deal on a pair of white wedding shoes.

It’s really not too difficult to find a great pair of white wedding shoes that you can wear with your wedding dress. Determine what kinds of shoes you feel most comfortable wearing, and then find a great pair of shoes that you can wear that will fit the bill. For any other help, check out my other articles on wedding shoes, which can be found in the wedding shoes category to your right.

Many couples this year living on the coast, or choosing to have a destination wedding will be having a beach wedding. Beach weddings are another kind of outdoor weddings that can turn out really beautiful and charming if planned correctly. Planning a beach wedding is very different from planning any other kind of wedding, not only in that it is a wedding planned outdoors, but also in that beach weddings can present some new situations that you don’t need to consider when planning traditional indoor weddings. Beach weddings typically require some kind of non-traditional wedding dress and shoes to keep a nice and fancy dress from getting destroyed or dirty. Not only that, but if you are planning on having a beach wedding, you are also going to need some special beach wedding shoes to help you to stay comfortable and moderately pain-free throughout your wedding. As I’ve said before in previous articles, wedding shoes are typically overlooked because so many brides spend most of their time searching for the perfect wedding dress, but they are important. So if you are planning a beach wedding, then here are some different kinds of beach wedding shoes to consider to help make your wedding day go as smoothly as possible.

Your Beach Wedding Shoes Should be Comfortable

There is always something to be said for a pair of comfortable shoes. I’m sure we’ve all been in the predicament of having shoes that pinch or cramp-it can totally ruin an evening if you’re cringing with every step. That goes for every bride no matter what kind of wedding she is planning. But if you are planning a beach wedding, then your beach wedding shoes need to be comfortable for you to walk on in the sand and gravel. I had the misfortune during our honeymoon to be wearing a pair of heels to dinner, only to have a moonlight walk on the beach afterward. Don’t get me wrong, it was totally romantic, but very hard to walk in. So, the best piece of advice I have for finding a comfortable pair of beach wedding shoes that you can walk on the sand in, try it out for yourself. Try walking through the sand where your wedding will be, and see if you are able to walk around comfortably. That will give you a good idea on finding beach wedding shoes that you’ll be able to walk in.

Beach Wedding Shoes Should be Sand-Friendly

It should go without saying, but your beach wedding shoes need to be able to work with the sand. You don’t want to be forever stopping to empty the sand out of your wedding shoes so that you can walk normally. My advice, stay away from close toed shoes or other kinds of pumps that will not allow sand to exit the shoe on it’s own. Flip flops are always a popular choice for beach wedding shoes, since they are both informal and sand-friendly. If you can’t see yourself using flip flops as your beach wedding shoes, then maybe look for some flat strappy sandals that you can still walk in comfortable, and will not require you to be dumping sand out of your shoes so much.

Many brides choose to go for a more informal look when they are planning a beach wedding. Many brides find a wedding dress that is not floor length, or perhaps a wedding sun dress that will be more comfortable and yet still beautiful and elegant on her wedding day. So, if you are planning a beach wedding, don’t forget to find the perfect pair of beach wedding shoes so that you are able to enjoy your wedding day as much as possible.

You’ll find that on your wedding day, you’re on your feet nearly the whole day. I remember for my wedding, the only times I sat down were to have my hair and make-up done, in the limo on the way to the reception, and for about five minutes during the meal where my husband and I grabbed a little bit of the dinner we had planned before making the rounds to the tables to thank everyone for coming. Needless to say, I was very happy that I had some comfortable wedding shoes, or it would have been miserable for me to be on my feet for that long. In one of my previous articles, Cheap Wedding Shoes, I brought up the idea of using white wedding tennis shoes to wear with your dress. If you’re looking at the idea of wearing wedding tennis shoes, then here are some factors you need to consider.

Wedding Tennis Shoes Should be White

If you’re going to wear wedding tennis shoes, it should go without saying that they should be all white. Don’t wear your old dirty pair of running shoes that you’ve broken in and are so comfortable, but look ratty and have colorful stripes on the sides. Spring for a new pair of all white tennis shoes with no hint of color on them at all. If you already have an all white pair, then give them a good washing to see if they will work for your wedding tennis shoes.

Decorate Your Wedding Tennis Shoes

While you don’t really HAVE to decorate your wedding tennis shoes, it would sure look a whole lot more festive if you did. One great and simple idea of decorating your wedding tennis shoes is to replace the shoelaces with lengths of tulle. Another popular idea that some brides do to decorate their wedding tennis shoes are to have their flower girls decorate their shoes with glue and an assortment of pieces of lace and sequins.

Decide if Wedding Tennis Shoes are Right for You

You might be surprised to find that some people will flip out when you tell them that you want to wear wedding tennis shoes on your big day. Many will argue that you can see the tennis shoes under the dress, that it just looks too informal, etc. If you are in that situation, check out my other article on White Wedding Shoes. Only you can make up your mind about if you want to wear wedding tennis shoes or not. I say, if the dress is floor length, your shoes most likely will not be seen very much, only the tip of the shoe. Also, people are more focused on your dress then they are on your shoes, so chances are most of your guests won’t notice them.

Wedding tennis shoes are a comfortable alternative to many of the wedding shoes that are out there. I remember looking at all of the pictures of brides in the bridal magazines and thinking, they’re only sitting and taking pictures, they’re not spending the whole day on their feet in those shoes!! If you’re more comfortable in heels than tennis shoes, then go with the heels. Just consider what will help to make you the most comfortable on your wedding day.

I know I know, when it comes to picking out what you’re going to wear on your wedding day, it’s typically only about the wedding dress. I totally understand. However, when you are deciding what to wear on your big day, the wedding dress isn’t the only thing that you will be wearing. You’ll need to look at special underclothes for your dress if you need it, hoisery, and of course, wedding shoes. Wedding shoes are not typically the top of every bride’s shopping list. In fact, it’s typically only about the wedding dress, and in most instances, the wedding dress will completely cover the wedding shoes anyway. So, many brides go on the hunt for cheap wedding shoes, making them fun and comfortable for their big day. So, if you are looking for some cheap wedding shoes and need some help coming up with ideas, here are some great hints to help you get started.

Cheap Wedding Shoes - ON SALE!!

Everyone loves a sale, especially brides. Many bridal shops and stores have annual or semi-annual sales on their wedding shoes to get rid of some old inventory to make room for the new styles that are coming out. Check with your local bridal shops occasionally to find out when those sales will occur, or sign up for their mailing list to find out the dates, and hit up those stores then. Or, if you are having trouble finding cheap wedding shoes this way, then many online shops sell cheap wedding shoes that you can easily purchase.

Cheap Wedding Shoes - Ballet Slippers

Many brides looking for cheap wedding shoes tend to go more towards the ballet slippers in white. They are still lovely and feminine, and totally comfortable for your big day. And trust me, comfort is important, especially on your wedding day. You will be standing most of the day, so it is important to have comfortable wedding shoes. Ballet slippers can be purchased off of the Internet or other location near you. Do a search, you’re sure to find plenty of possibilities.

Cheap Wedding Shoes - Flip Flops

I’ve seen many brides go with these kinds of cheap wedding shoes. Typically, the dress covers the feet anyway, so the shoes are not really visable unless she lifts up her dress. Many brides choosing to go with these cheap wedding shoes will buy white flip flops and then decorate them with tulle or rosettes or something like that.

Cheap Wedding Shoes - Tennis Shoes or Boots

Another popular kind of cheap wedding shoes that many brides choose to use are tennis shoes. Make sure they are completely white, and then lace tulle through the shoelace holes to make them more festive. If you’re thinking of using tennis shoes, then check out my article called Wedding Tennis Shoes. This is also done typically when the wedding dress will cover the shoes anyway. Another popular choice, especially here in Texas is to wear boots with your wedding dress.

Cheap wedding shoes are not difficult to find if you know where and when to look, and if you have some idea of what kind of shoe you’d like to be wearing on your big day anyway. The brides in the bridal magazines always wear some pretty fancy wedding shoes, and that may be what you are looking for as well. If this is the case, then look for sales on the Internet or in your local bridal shops to help you get the cheap wedding shoes you need to help completele your bridal look. (Personally, I purchased my cheap wedding shoes at Payless - white slippers with ribbon, and they turned out really cute.)
