Ok Ladies, I'm about to tell you a little personal
information about myself. I love to collect two
things. Barbie Dolls and SHOES!
I have approximately
1,000,000,000 pairs of shoes (only kidding but the
number is high) in my collection that includes
many different styles and colours. I feel
your shoes "completes you" when coordinating your
outfit. My absolute favourite is sexy high heals.
(3" or higher") A high heal will elongate your leg
and narrow your ankles and make you look slimmer.
Sometimes if I see a great pair of shoes I'll buy them
first then create my outfit around them. (you can
do that too - give me a call!)
Warning!! High
heals are not for everyone. If you have
problems with your feet or knees, back etc, be
sensible and wear the proper footwear to ensure that you
do not injure yourself. If you have problems with
wearing heals there are other options for you. Try
wearing a smaller 1 or 2 inch heal. A narrow toe
will help draw the line down and elongate your leg your
leg as well. Even wearing flats can be flattering
as well especially with pants.
I love to coordinate my
shoes with my outfits. Either matching the colour
and style with an outfit or giving a "pop" of colour to
the ensemble.
For your wedding comfort
is a must! Buy your shoes early to "break them
in". You will be on your feet for a long time so
you want the most comfortable shoes you can find.
Having a spare pair handy is always a good idea.
As the saying goes "Change is as good as a rest"
-
this applies to shoes too!
Also remember to take
your shoes with you for your dress fitting to be sure
you have your dress hemmed to the proper length.
Have fun with shoes.
If you can't find what you are looking for be creative.
Buy a simple pair and add adornments to it. Simply
glue or sew adornments such as rhinestone buckles
(check with your florist, they may have some on hand),
pearls, sequins, fabric flowers etc.
Another new trend is for
the bride to wear her shoes in the colour of her brides
maids dresses. For the most part you won't see
your shoes anyway and this is a fun way to express
yourself. Navy, reds, purples are all great
examples and a great way for the bride to tie in her
wedding colours with her outfit.
Are you having pictures taken on
the beach or in the grass? Buy simple white flip flops - add a
touch of "glamour" and you're good to go. Even
if you are wearing high heels for the wedding you should
wear flip flops or wedged heel for pictures in the grass
or on the beach to save your heels from becoming damaged
or dirty.
At the end of the day
when coordinating the outfit remember IT'S ALL ABOUT THE
SHOES! |
