9 Things to Remember When Buying Your Wedding Shoes

Aside from the dress, your shoes are the next most important part of your wedding apparel. With so many styles, colors and heel heights to choose from, how do you know which will be the right choice for you? At the Historic Pinecrest, we want to help you plan every part of your big day, and help you make it run as smoothly as possible. While you're planning your Colorado Springs wedding, here are a few things to remember when buying your wedding shoes!

Remember That You Will Need To Wear Your Shoes

While you want shoes that will be stylish, you will want to find shoes that will be comfortable enough to spend your time in. Before purchasing those skyscrapers that you've been looking at, think about how you'll handle walking in them on your wedding day.

Select Special Shoes

While you're shopping for your shoes, don't be afraid to find the shoes that are special. While you want to be able to walk in them, and spend time standing for your ceremony and photos, you also want shoes that make you feel special. Don't be afraid to pick something fun!

Break Them In

The first time you put your shoes on should not be on your wedding day. You want to start breaking them in on the carpet several weeks before your wedding so that your feet can start to get used to them. You'll be spending several hours in these shoes, so it's best to make sure they've had time to mold to your feet.

Take Heel Measurements

When you get your shoes, be sure to tell the place that is altering your dress. You'll need to know the exact height of your heel to make sure that your dress isn't too long or short. Also, make sure you order them within plenty of time for your fitting. Your wedding shoes will need to be worn at your fitting, and you don't want any last minutes panics.

You Can Dye Your Shoes

If you can't find any shoes that match your color scheme perfectly, you can always consider having them dyed! This can also help for your bridesmaids as well if you want a specific shade of shoes for everyone in your Colorado Springs event.

Match Your Theme

Think about the type of wedding you will be having, and then buy shoes that match. If you're having a romantic spring garden wedding, you may want flats or wedges that will be easy to navigate. For a rustic western wedding, you may want to wear cute cowboy boots. While you don't have to match the theme, you certainly can!

Practice Walking In Your Shoes

Not only do you need to break your shoes in, you should practice walking in them for the sake of not falling over. Think about the floor type you'll be walking on, and considering walking around on them. Carpet can be challenging because the padding underneath can make balancing hard while slick hardwoods are hard because you never know when you might step wrong and lose your footing.

Plan For The Weather

A winter wedding in Colorado may require shoes that keep your feet warm while spring wedding may call for cute rain boots. No matter what the weather does, wear the shoes that make you feel the best, and just come up with a backup plan in case of surprises.

Don't Forget to Pamper Your Feet!

It's your big day! Don't forget to pamper you tootsies with a pedicure. Pick out a beautiful polish that complements your skin tone or matches your wedding. Don't forget to opt for a polish like a gel manicure, so it will last throughout the honeymoon too!
