The delicacy of a bride is just unmatchable, may it be a sweet and compromising bride or a complete opposite falling into the definition of ‘Bridezilla’, a bride is the star of the event. Having stated this, each and every wish of a bride and her taste is the command for all her friends and family whose sole aim is to please and fulfil the bride’s wishes. One of the toughest selections and buying decisions that has to be made by a bride include her wedding shoes. Not only does this entail numerous visits to all the retailers producing outclass bridal shoes; it also involves the honest feedback and suggestions of close friends and family members who have a say in the bride’s life. The whole chakra of selecting the dress, shoes, makeup, and jewellery is not easy, as looking the best on the one day is the target of every bride. In order to ease out the complicated task, here are 4 tips that every bride should keep in mind before venturing out and making a wise decision-
1) Check the price tag first-
Remember brides, although this is the day that all ladies dream about and would do anything to look one’s best, the opportunity cost of the shoes should be compared wisely. The hefty amount spent on the shoe should be worth it, calculate how many times that shoe would come in handy later on. Moreover, compare how many times would the shoe become visible to the people present? The price tag should justify all these elements, not just the factor of falling in love with the shoes only.
2) Choose the right colour-
For western brides, there are not many options; the white dress makes it easier to choose from the colour range available. However, for eastern brides the colour of shoes is a risky part since the colour range of bridal dresses can go from simple to wild. The right colour would be to choose from earthy tones or ones that are not too loud. Not only would it be multi-purpose and come in use later on, with all the make-up and jewellery there is too much colour going on.
3) Get the perfect fit-
No matter what the price is, if it is not comfortable the whole point of wearing bridal shoes worth hundreds of dollars goes down the drain. The design and size should be according to the foot size and shape to make it look sleek and very comfortable. More than style, the whole focus should be on comfort. While walking down the aisle or during the event, if the shoe hurts or leads to tripping, there cannot be anything more horrendous for a bride. Therefore, the perfect fit and comfort should be opted for.
4) Designer Shoe Shopping-
If the target is to get designer shoes, then it must definitely not be a retail style shopping spree. While retail shopping, the bride and friends go from one shop to the other and then choose from a variety. Doing the same with designer shoes would not help at all. Instead, designers should be shortlisted and chosen beforehand according to the specialty and kind of shoe known for. Then one visit with clear description of exactly what the outfit is like and the dream shoe is like should be explained along with the budget. When clear guidelines are given, only them designers give the best solution and offer services that satisfy clients at the end. Misfit shoes or unclear descriptions lead to unsatisfied brides who blame the designer for not being too good; hence one’s own homework should be complete for best results.
