Shoes!

Oh My~ When the topic of shoes came up for the blog, I knew it would be easy to write. Those who know me, know that I loooove shoes! Here is some input on selecting your shoes, along with some pictures of some shoes we have here in the store.
 It's your wedding day, I know that you want to feel gorgeous all over, which means  some of you gravitate to those amazing 4" heels that make you feel awesome....for about 5 seconds. Standing still. Yes, I know some of you ladies can run marathons in your monster heels, but what about the rest of us? Do we have to sacrifice style for comfort? Thankfully, I say no. Here are a few suggestions while  shopping for your wedding shoes.

First, find a heel height that you can realistically stand, walk and dance in for most of the night. Many brides have come in and said they will wear the 3" heel for their ceremony, then switch in to the flat for the reception. That seems logical however your gown is hemmed to go with the taller heel, so when you switch in to the flat, you now have a hem that is laying on the floor, and can be a nuisance. While you are dancing and enjoying your reception, you don't want to worry about stepping on or tripping over your hem line. So I suggest you pick a middle ground height that you can manage for most of the night. Usually a 2" or 2 1/2" heel will do the trick. (some of my favorites are shown below!)

So, if you are a girl like me, and you simply must wear a tall shoe, go for a platform style shoe. A platform shoe has thicker soles sitting under the front part of the foot, which definitely adds to the comfort and support for your feet. Also a wedge style shoe can be great, especially outdoors.

 It also wise to buy your shoes early, so that you can wear them around before the wedding. Break them in - get them nice and comfy for the big day - your feet will thank you!
