Bridal Shoes, Have You Chosen Them Yet?
On the wedding day, in order to elegantly wear your wedding dress and become the most beautiful bride in the world, choosing bridal shoes to complement your look is also an important process!*
Your feet are a crucial area that guests will see while you're holding your dress hem to walk or while descending stairs.
Moreover, recently, capturing moments of putting on bridal shoes in preparation shots or wearing them with your partner for Cinderella shots has become trendy, so the attention on your feet is noticeably high!*
Therefore, when it comes to wedding shoes, you want to take your time and pay careful attention to the design you choose♡
This time, I will introduce important points to keep in mind when deciding on bridal shoes.
Key Point for Choosing Your Perfect Shoes ① Match the Design of the Dress
What kind of dress do you plan to wear on the day? What kind of decorations does it have? What color is it?
Choosing bridal shoes that perfectly match these design elements is a fundamental point that should not be overlooked!*
For example, if you have a classic wedding dress made of satin, a pure white and simple shoe would be perfect.
If your dress is made of tulle and fluffy, shoes with ribbons or lace, adding cute elements, are recommended.
For a natural A-line or slender dress, open-toe shoes or ballet flats would match wonderfully!*
Even for colored dresses, consider the overall balance by choosing shades that complement each other♡
Key Point for Choosing Your Perfect Shoes ② Consider the Balance with His Height*
It is widely said that dresses are designed to look their best when you wear heels between 10cm to 12cm high.
Many may think, "the higher the heels, the better for looking stylish," but...
When it comes to heel height, it is a must to take into account the height difference with your groom!*
Grooms may wear secret shoes, but remember that a height difference of about 10cm is generally considered visually appealing♡
By the way, bridal shoes (depending on the manufacturer) are generally available in heights of around 3cm, 5cm, 7cm, 10cm, and 12cm.
So if your groom is around 170cm tall and the bride is around 150cm tall, wearing heels around 7cm high is recommended!*
Additionally, the difference of 2–3cm in heel height is said to make a significant visual difference, so when you go for fittings, it's reassuring to go together with him to see how they look side by side♡
Key Point for Choosing Your Perfect Shoes ③ Comfort is Important Too!
The final point to focus on when choosing bridal shoes is to ensure comfort and ease of walking!*
On the wedding day, you will already be struggling as you hold the hem of a dress you are not used to walking in...
Moreover, if you are also experiencing pain or discomfort from your shoes, it could ruin the joy of the day.
Therefore, whether the shoes fit well is a point that many former brides say is important♩
