Check out these tips by the extraordinary Colin Cowie:
Obsessed with shoes? No wonder! A sexy pair of shoes is transforming. From a plain and simple pump to an embellished platform sandal, what you wear on your feet is another detail that expresses your style.
Shoes are adorned with everything...from feathers, frills and flowers to bows and beads. Long-gone are the days when your shoes had to be perfectly died-to-match peau de soie pumps. There are no color, fabric or style rules. The only thing standing in your way (no pun intended) is your imagination. Not even your budget should limit you since you can find au courant at any price. The pair that's right for you needs to complete your look while keeping you comfortable.
Here's a list of tips that will put a sparkle in your step.
Wear your shoes at every fitting to ensure your dress is the correct length.
Predetermine if you are wearing hosiery the day of your wedding, as shoes fit differently sans hose.
If you are going to dye your shoes a specific color, bring a reference. For example: if it's your gown, request a fabric swatch from the salon; if it's your bouquet, bring a sample bud or two.
Consider your comfort as you will be on your feet most of the time. (Platforms are particularly comfortable.) Shoe pads for the ball of the foot and back of the heel can make the last dance feel like the first. It also helps to break your shoes in before you walk down the aisle. Try wearing them when you can at home for a few hours at a time.
Your feet will thank you if you pamper them before the big day. A spa pedicure with exfoliating treatments is a sure fire way to keeping them happy.
Luxe Love, XOXO
