Wedding sandals
A wedding is one of the most exciting events in the life of every girl. Dress, hairstyle, jewelry and, of course, shoes are chosen very carefully. Sandals are ideal for a summer celebration, because nothing is more important for a wedding than your good mood and personal comfort.
What to choose - sandals or shoes?
On such a solemn day as a wedding, it is very important to feel comfortable. After all, you will have to spend most of the time on your feet. Registration, photo sessions, dancing - you can get tired of all this even in house slippers, what can we say about shoes with thin heels. Correctly selected footwear is a guarantee of your convenience, therefore it is worth approaching such an event as shoe shopping wisely.
Since ancient times, there is a belief that shoes should be closed for a wedding, then the marriage will be long and happy. For this reason, many brides buy wedding shoes for themselves in the summer, which subsequently causes a lot of discomfort on an important day. It is worth remembering that not all signs are true and you can get around them a little. If you are very serious about superstition, then closed heel sandals can be a salvation.
Summer shoes are not the right shoe for a wedding. Imagine how heavy and hot it will be in a satin and silk dress with hair and makeup on a hot day. And if you still have to put on stockings and shoes, in which the leg will sweat, then the mood will completely deteriorate. Wedding shoes are great shoes, but it's best to save them for fall and spring celebrations.
How to choose the right shoes?
When buying wedding sandals, be guided by the main rule - comfort first, then beauty.Feet in the heat have an unpleasant property of swelling, so no beauty will save you if at the most crucial moment you begin to limp and bend from tension. Nice, but uncomfortable shoes can be purchased for a photo shoot on the first wedding anniversary, or in a set with another pair, more comfortable. Having bought two pairs, you can alternate them, then your legs will get tired less.
As for the height of the heel, it is better to choose it according to your personal preferences. Not many girls will be able to confidently feel themselves on a thin stiletto heel all day, especially if their casual shoes are mostly at low speed.
The solution is to purchase a pair of delicate wedding ballet flats that will help you when you are completely tired. But it is still advisable to start wearing sandals a couple of weeks before the wedding. Put them on at home, in a comfortable environment for yourself and walk for a while, so the leg will quickly get used to certain inconveniences.
It is very important to take into account your own parameters when choosing wedding sandals. If you have a large foot, a round toe is a great option. Conversely, a small foot will look great with a narrow toe. Owners of full legs or calves should think about the absence of excessive decor on the shoes, which will only make your overall look heavier. A stiletto heel is also not the best option, stop at a medium length or a high, but not thin heel.
Light, graceful shoes are suitable for a small bride, taller girls can afford more massive sandals. You also need to think about the ratio of the length of the heel to the height of your groom. The optimal length is 10 to 12 centimeters. It is best to make a purchase in the late afternoon, the leg will slightly increase in size and it will be easier to assess the quality and comfort of the shoe.
Models and varieties
Like any other shoe, bridal sandals come in many varieties.
- Heels
In this case, the heel can be high, medium and very small. Girls who feel great on a stiletto heel are advised to choose it. The high heel visually lengthens and transforms the legs. He is already a wonderful decoration in itself, so do not overload your sandals with an abundance of rhinestones and beads. Heels are perfect for long, fluffy outfits.
When buying high-heeled sandals, pay attention to the quality of the shoe and its sock. Even uncomfortable models, with a raised sole at the toe, will allow your feet to tire much later.
- On the platform
The platform is a real find for those who are not inclined to walk in heels all day. But when choosing such sandals, you should be more careful, because wedge shoes look a little bulky. If you are short and fragile, you might want to consider another option. However, pumped up or full ankles will look perfect in sandals of this kind. They are suitable for fish dresses, short or asymmetric models.
- Without heel
Flat sandals will be a great addition to a Greek-style bride. If you have chosen such an image for yourself, feel free to buy a model on a flat run. Sandals with decor, rhinestones, straps, ribbons look interesting. You need to choose shoes in the color of the dress so as not to create dissonance.
Models without heels harmonize beautifully with a flying summer dress. But they will not fit at all with heavy skirts and tight corsets.
Color and material
The most common color for wedding shoes is white. The combination of a white dress and the same sandals is a timeless classic. It is worth remembering that the shoes should match the shade of your white. The combination of dazzling whiteness with ivory is completely unacceptable. But you can get away from tradition by purchasing silver sandals.
If your dress has a shade of champagne, then golden shoes will be just right. Today's brides strive for extravagance, choosing sandals of a variety of colors.In this case, it is better to complement the bow with a small bright accessory, such as a purse or belt. The bridal bouquet matched to the shoes looks interesting.
And yet, with a long wedding dress, it is better to turn to the proven classics. Creamy, pale blue and pinkish tones will create a unique ensemble. But wearing a short white dress, you can experiment with shoes, because they will immediately attract the attention of others. A worthy option would be red, blue, silver sandals. With colored dresses, try to match the color of the sandals with the outfit.
Leather is the most popular material for bridal sandals. Legs fatigue much more slowly in high-quality leather shoes than with other materials. Suede and satin are also in demand. Preferring satin, it is better to opt for beautifully decorated models with voluminous flowers and ribbons.
Designers have developed some tips on how to properly combine shoes and dress.
When wearing a simple dress, complement it with richly embellished sandals. Conversely, if you have a lot of jewelry on your outfit, then the same shoes will look a little clumsy. For thin fabrics, choose light sandals that will not disturb the harmony of your wedding look. Do not hesitate to buy shoes decorated with lace, it will fit any dress and will add tenderness and excitement to the bow.
