Although beauty and elegance count, the golden rule for bridal shoes really is comfort. Especially if you’re having the ceremony + reception + party combo, you DON’T want to be stuck with killer heels (and I mean it literally, not in a good way).
So, more than ever you should respect you style and instincts. Some tips: stilettos are a definite no, for the reasons we just covered; wedges, on the other hand, are very comfortable but unlikely to look good with a wedding gown, no matter the style. Keep it simple: medium-sized heels, thick and square shaped should do the trick. And do wear them inside your house for some weeks before your big day, as you’ll get accustomed to them, making it harder for unpleasant surprises to happen.

Bellissima, Elegant Steps, Gina,and The Accessory Boutique offer bridal shoes for all different styles from ballet pumps to crystal sandals. Girls of Elegance has a great selection of budget shoes, so it’s worth a visit.
