How to choose?
Choosing the right pair of shoes can be as difficult as choosing a wedding dress. In order for the model to be matched perfectly, it is necessary to consider several important points.
- The length of the wedding dress. Shoes should match the dress.Excessively lush decor of shoes should not cling to the hem of a long dress. It is best not to combine shoes with a complex and original style with a long dress. These shoes should be clearly visible.
- Color spectrum. White shoes are considered versatile and are perfect for any dress model. If a pastel color scheme is chosen for the dress, then the shoes can also be champagne, ivory, ecru, etc. If the dress has a rich emerald color, then the shoes can be the same or a contrasting shade, for example, purple or yellow. It is generally accepted that shoes can be a tone darker than the outfit itself.
- Season. For the fall-winter period, it is best to choose closed-toe shoes. In hot seasons, shoes can have a lighter and more relaxed design.
- Location of the wedding ceremony. This point concerns non-traditional options for holding weddings, for example, on the seashore, in nature, outside the city. In this case, graceful ballet flats, elegant sandals or light sandals will become a worthy alternative to elegant shoes with heels.
When choosing shoes, you should definitely listen to your own feelings. The shoes should not pinch, chafe or pinch the foot. Even the slightest discomfort can turn into a big problem on the brightest and most festive day of life.
