Today I feel like talking about shoes. Wedding shoes to be specific. It can be one of the easiest or most trying accessories to choose. They have to be comfortable enough to stand in for extended periods of time, they absolutely must coordinate with the gown, and, now this is a big one, they must must must be the perfect height - don't want to be too tall or too short. Things to remember - can I dance the night away in these or am I bringing slippers to change into? - how long is my dress and if I choose a low/high heel will it require an insane amount of alterations? -how tall will I be next to my hubs-to-be if I choose a high heel?

The shoes you choose to wear reflect who you are, your personality. An outrageous, sparkely, glammed out shoe says that you are a fashionista with a wild side. A simple, elegant shoe says that you are a traditional person with traditional values. Perhaps you are a free spirit or an outdoorsy kinda gal...you may choose to wear flip flops or go barefoot if you are having an outdoor affair. It's like choosing the dress and it can definitely be just as much work.

I have a friend who has purchased 5+ pairs of shoes because she cannot choose the one she loves the most. If you find yourself in that same position, do not be alarmed! As long as you have some time to decide and a team of bridesmaids to help you see the light, you will be able to make a decision. For me, I ordered a pair of shoes online and when they came in they fit, so I kept them. They were a very low heel, pointed toe sling-back, ivory with a cute little buckle across the top. Matched my dress, fit my foot, ready to go. Every bride is different and has a different decision making process.

What about the barefoot bride? How can a girl make her feet look beautiful without having to wear a shoe? Simple. A pretty pedi is more than enough, but if you are looking to add a little sparkle, do what my cousin did and wear foot jewels! These are a very popular item for destination, beach weddings. It's a new take on the ankle bracelet but with more pizazz! There are so many different styles and gem options, you can even get them covered in pearls. This is a beautiful and unique way to stand out and make a statement.
No matter who you are or what you do, your shoes can make a big statement. Just as big a statement as the gown and the groom you choose! Glam, Casual, Beachy or Ballroom, your shoe should be a reflection of who you are and what you love.
