In fact, you will enjoy shopping for a pair that is perfect for you, your personality and your dress. When you shop around for your shoes remember that if your wedding dress requires alterations, then having the shoes for the fitting is very important. If you can't find the perfect shoes in time for the fitting but require a certain amount of height for your shoes, then wearing a pair with the same heel height might just do the trick. Where color is concerned, take a fabric swatch with you when looking for shoes. You can then easily compare the color on your swatch and the shoes. You should note though that indoor lighting in the stores might change the way the color looks so it's best to compare it outside the shop as well.

Remember, this is going to be an important day for you and you don't want to be bothered with the wrong shade of color on your shoes on the big day! Court shoes used to be the bridal shoe of choice but nowadays almost any style is fine as long as it matches the dress. The choices can vary from sandals and open-toed shoes to high heels. But whatever style you go with, choose one that you are comfortable with at the end of the day. Your wedding day is not the day to be trying out a new and untried styles however so do not stray too far from the norm. Silk and satin are usually the favorites for shoe fabrics and since these can be dyed, they seem to be the ones that get noticed first. Some brides might prefer shoes with ankle straps and this can be quite comfortable and practical if you have to do a lot of walking around.

When looking at colors for your shoes, you can either look at contrasting shades, complementary shades or exact matches. Getting the exact match could prove to be difficult, so many brides choose to go for complementary shades. Contrasting colors do make a statement and if you get a perfect match, they will do wonders for the outfit. You could also go for the ever popular ivory, silver or gold bridal shoes. Consider the color you've chosen especially when it comes time to accessorize. If you're planning an outdoor ceremony, think about having shoes that have wedged heels.

For a beach wedding, sandals will look great and will allow the sand to slip off. Ceremonies that take place in a closed area such as a church require a bit more thought as the lighting may affect the effect of the shoes and dress. If your dress is very elaborate with lace-work or embroidery, a simple pair of silk or satin court shoes or even strappy ones will complement the dress delightfully. If your dress is very simple, then you might consider shoes with beading or diamantes to add a bit of sparkle! You will also be amazed at the many colors now available nowadays. From red and cobalt blue to pink and green, your choices are endless! These are suitable for brides who are not going to be wearing the traditional wedding dress in ivory or white but who want to inject color into their wedding dresses. Whatever your choice in bridal shoes, keep in mind the tips and points above and you will be sure to have the perfect pair of shoes!
