Top tips for choosing your wedding shoes

Founder and Creative Director Charlotte Mills shares her top tips for picking out your special pair of wedding shoes.

  1. Wear the shoes on carpeted surfaces before wearing them on the day to make sure you're used to the heel height and they don't rub!
  1. Buy a heel height you're comfortable with. If you usually only wear mid to low heeled shoes, then that's the height you should choose for your wedding day.
  1. Bear in mind the time of year. If you're getting married in Autumn/Winter you might prefer a closed-toe shoe. And if your wedding is in Spring/Summer you might choose an open toe sandal.

  1. Would you like to wear your wedding shoes again after your special day? By choosing a shoe in a different colour you might be more likely to wear your bridal shoes again after the wedding. Perhaps styling them with a lovely dress for a special occasion, or even whipping them out of the box to wear on your anniversaries.
  1. Make sure you choose the correct fit! Being comfortable is so important on such a special day.
  1. Traditional or Modern? Would you prefer something to subtly compliment your dress or a more statement shoe.
