Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. And let’s admit it, your wedding shoes can make or break the day. Whether you walk down the aisle, or walk around a fire in holy matrimony, your feet need to be encased in something you absolutely trust and enjoy. Your wedding shoes need to be the confidant you depend on for the most important walk of your life.

1. Not getting the right shoe for yourself

  • The market is full of beautiful designer shoes for women. And while we see the appeal, getting a pair of Jimmy Choos that you are not able to walk in seems like a waste, don’t you think? Pick a style that you are most comfortable with, be it wedges, platforms, sandals or flats. Don’t follow the hype of heels if you can’t walk in them. Choose shoes that you like, want and are at ease while wearing. A trip down the stairs is not a memory you want to have for your wedding day.

2. Buying something you can’t repeat again

  • Spending a wad of cash for shoes that don’t really go with other outfits is another waste you should avoid. Wouldn’t you rather wear something that you can repeat later and revisit the memory of your big day again? Choose wedding shoes that have longevity.

3. Not carrying a second pair

  • Indian weddings go on for hours. If you want to truly enjoy your own wedding where you can dance your heart out, get a second pair of shoes with you. Choose something simple that matches your outfit. A pair of cute ballet flats or jodhpuris are ideal options as they allow you comfort and style at the same time.

4. Not wearing feet support

  • Prioritize your comfort and give your pretty some rest. Carry foot insoles and additional padding to make your walk pain-free. Also get arch support and cushioned foot beds to reduce the risk injury. Now all those long hours of wedding shenanigans won’t feel so long.

5. Choosing cliché colours

  • White, red and gold are typical colours that most women choose for their bridal palette. Why don’t you break the mould and opt for something unique. Swim away from the mainstream and opt for contrasting colours. Have a palette in mind and experiment with quirky shades. Have a look at the colour wheel to help you zoom in to the right hue you want.
