• How To Choose A Beautiful Pair of Designer Bridal Shoes


    24 April 2008

    If you are preparing to be married you will probably need a pair of bridal shoes but don’t make the mistake of just picking a pair because they are stylish and beautiful if they hurt your feet. You need to make sure they are comfortable first and foremost. A beautiful pair of wedding shoes can be elegant and stylish and with the way they are made today you can wear them comfortably for the whole day of your wedding and still have the latest fashionable look.

    If you are looking for bridal shoes be prepared to dish out some cash, they are not cheap. You can expect to pay anywhere from three hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending upon how elaborate you want to go with them. For a modest designer bridal shoe you will spend around $600 or so.

    The higher end bridal shoes that are priced in the thousands of dollars are really designed for celebrities and daughters of the wealthy and affluent. A great portion of the price is for marketing or in the case of a high priced pair of designer bridal shoes, a good portion goes to the designer, usually about a third, then another third or so to marketing with the remainder being the actual true cost to make the shoes.

    One type of designer bridal shoe that has become very popular of late is the type that can be dyed any color. This comes in handy for matching to a wedding gown. Always go with white since they will give the truest color when dyed, also you can re-dye them later to match a party or cocktail dress. This is being smart with your money; by taking advantage of a shoe that can be dyed you turn a shoe designed for a one time occasion into something that can be worn over and over.

    Unless you are very used to wearing them you should probably stay away from very high heeled bridal shoes. It is far more important to feel comfortable and sure footed as you walk down the aisle than to feel wobbly and unsure of your steps. With most bridal gowns no one is going to see your lower legs anyway. Most major designers test their bridal shoes so that they are made to be comfortable for several hours.<
