It is imperative that you select shoes that you can easily walk in for your wedding dress. Many brides like to wear a high heel pump that will add height and make their feet look sexy without being an open sandal. You can also consider wearing a wedge heel that will provide height but be easier to walk in if you are not comfortable with heels.
All colors are not exactly the same. A white shoe in a department store or shoe store might look like it will match your dress but actually be a different shade. You should take a piece of your wedding dress fabric with you when purchasing your wedding shoes to make certain that the shoes are indeed going to be the perfect shade. You’d hate to get the wrong shade of shoes for your wedding dress and have to start the shoe shopping all over again.
For your dress alterations wear either the shoes that you will wear for the wedding or shoes of the same height. This will make certain that the alterations are done accurately. If you wear shoes higher than the dress, you could have it hemmed too much and vice versa. Keep in mind what height shoes you want prior to doing any alterations. If possible, already have your shoes purchased.
