Think the selection of your wedding gown is just about the toughest choice you\u2019ve ever had to make? You obviously haven\u2019t gone wedding shoe<\/em><\/span> shopping yet, Houston bride. Peep-toe or slingback? Flower or bow? High heel or ballet flat? The options are endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

To settle on the perfect pair, consider your dress style. In general, narrower silhouettes are best paired with a show-off shoe, since it\u2019s more likely to be on view. Ditto shorter dress styles, which look lovely with satin peep-toes, strappy sandals, sparkly wedges or even elegant ballet flats. Ballgown styles go well with platforms, slingbacks and pretty pumps.<\/span><\/p>\n

While your shoes need not match your dress\u2014champagne shoes are fine with a white gown; satin shoes go well with a tulle skirt\u2014if you\u2019re partial to embellishments, try to couple like with like (don\u2019t mix heavily bejeweled footwear with a seed-pearl-encrusted gown, for instance).<\/span><\/p>\n

A few more words of advice: Make sure you bring your wedding shoes (or a different pair of the same heel height) to all your gown fittings, to ensure your hem is the proper length. Also, you may want to buy two pairs of wedding shoes, particularly if you will be changing outfits between ceremony and reception. Even if you plan to party in your bridal finery, consider a comfier pair of reception shoes so you\u2019re able to dance the night away painlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now, a few of our current favorite bridal shoe picks.<\/span><\/p>\n

A pretty wedge combines (relative) comfort with modern style. We love the exceptionally affordable Shanika Wedge<\/span> from Touch Ups with its rhinestone-accented buckle closures and dyeable satin upper, and the T-strap Nina Gamma<\/span> evening sandal, with a cool Lucite heel and just a touch of bling. <\/span><\/p>\n
