How do I match my shoes to my dress?

I'm not sure what kind of shoes will suit my dress. I am wearing a classic style gown and don't want a big heel. I want to be comfortable! I would prefer a neutral colour. Any advice on what types of shoes to go with? Peep toe/kitten heel? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Justine! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! If you're keen to add some extra height to your special day, there are a lot of heel heights we can offer you. We offer heel heights in as low as 1.4 inch. This is perfect for a little lift. It is also feminine but practical. We love this height in a d'Orsay with an ankle strap or peep toe - these design options make the low heel look a little sexy. We also offer 2.2 inch heels that provides enough lift to give your step a spring. It is not too high that the balls of your feet will be aching from a day of walking and dancing. This kitten heel looks particularly cute in a slingback and peep toe. Next is our 2.8 inch heel which is what most classify a classic height. It is feminine and instantly transforms you into your most elegant self as you walk down the aisle. It also looks great in round, pointed or peep toe. We have higher heel heights to offer but I understand comfort is a great factor to consider here. It might be worth checking your existing heels and check the height you find most comfortable. Slingback and peep toe heels look great with dresses that fall below the knee. A full-skirted gown may hide the peep toe entirely. A modern touch to your shoes would be to incorporate your wedding colour to a section of the shoes. The insole or lining is a great way to represent it. Otherwise, a classic and coordinated look can be achieved by matching the color of your dress to your shoes. You can also add small embellishments in a metallic or shiny material.

At our factory we offer many heel, style and colour choices . A few points to keep in mind:

· Consider a style that will complement your dress and blend well with the rest of the bridal party.

· Think about the practicality of your heel choice. If the wedding is outdoors a stiletto heel may not be the best option. A pair of wedges or a heel with a thicker base would be a better choice. A comfortable heel shape and style is essential given the fact that you will have to feel comfortable for a long period of time.

· Be careful with bling embellishments as they could get caught on or possibly tear your gorgeous dress.

· Many brides prefer to incorporate a piece of the same lace of their wedding dress on their shoes.

· A coloured shoe choice can add a bright splash of colour and contrast to an otherwise traditional look.

· If you have shoes made to fit you it is sensible to choose a style you can wear again afterwards.

Feel free to pay us a visit to look at the available choices.
