Your fairy tale wedding day is here! Make sure you’re wearing comfortable bridal shoes or guaranteed your feet won’t be smiling, no matter how much grinning your face is doing.

The balls of the feet tend to suffer the worst, especially in high heels. Gel pads will provide extra cushioning for the balls of your feet.

Think about your wedding colors and consider one of those options.  Many brides are now having their wedding shoes match the bridesmaid dresses.  This provides great contrast in wedding pictures since the shoes stand out a little bit and allow the bride to match their bridesmaids in a subtle, but fun way.  When choosing which color, also look at the colors of the flower.  A fun way to have a bright colored shoe is to match them to bouquet or bridesmaid bouquet flowers.

Wearing flat wedding shoes is also a good choice. Whatever your reason, there is going to be a pair of flat shoes that is perfect for your wedding. In most cases brides prefer to go with a bridal shoe in a fabric that matches the white or ivory of her gown; there is not rule, though, that you can’t be more playful with your wedding shoes. This is especially true if you are wearing a very full skirted gown, since your guests will really only be getting a glimpse of the shoes anyway. Go ahead and choose a flat in an elegant silver or gold silk, or really be bold and wear a bright red silk shoe

To avoid those new shoes blisters that can ruin your day add extra cushions or padding inside your shoes at the back of your heel or where thin straps might cross over your feet. Extra padding will ensure that the comfortable bridal shoes you bought for your wedding day stay comfortable for the whole day.
