When it comes to creating the perfect wedding ensemble, all elements should be considered with the utmost scrutiny and care. From the veil to the dress to all the accessories in between, you want to create an ensemble that allows you to feel comfortable and confident.
Your wedding shoes will play a large part in this and will serve as the finishing touch to your entire bridal ensemble.
Finding the perfect pair of shoes is not always an easy task. Bella Belle’s guide for how to find the perfect pair of wedding shoes will serve as your fairy godmother as you search for the slippers that will make you feel like Cinderella on your big day.
From Theme, Venue, Heel Height, and Color- Bella Belle has the perfect bridal shoe options that will cover all of your bases.
Theme:
Wedding themes have become more and more popular in recent years. Themes can be quite understated and subtle or can go off with a bang. This theme can carry over into various elements of the wedding, including the menu, decorations, and even your shoes.
Choosing wedding shoes that coincide with your theme is a great way to carry a cohesive motif throughout the entire day.
Vintage wedding themes, for instance, are quite popular currently and can very easily be carried into your shoe choice. Selecting wedding shoes that replicate popular styles from the 1920s, 1940s, or any other era is a stunning yet subtle way to incorporate your theme.
Other themes can be carried into your shoe choice as well through the style, color, and detailing of the shoe.
Venue:
The location for your wedding and reception will also play a large part in the decision-making process for your wedding shoes. Outdoor weddings that are held on the beach or in a garden and will require you to walk across grass or sand, for instance, are not the most conducive to high-heeled shoes. You may be concerned that stiletto heels may sink into soft ground at your wedding ceremony or reception site.
Wedding shoes with block heels are more practical for most outdoor weddings. Flats or sandals are also popular and allow for easier mobility around an outdoor venue. Have your heart set on high-heels? You can turn any heels outdoor-friendly by using heel protectors. You should also consider how the weather and temperature of your wedding venue may impact your shoe choice.
Winter weddings may be better suited to a heeled bootie, while a summer bride may be more comfortable in a sandal or strappy heel. Bella Belle offers many shoe choices with breathable mesh, which will keep your feet fresh and comfortable. Here are a few options.

Color:
Wedding shoes are available in various colors, each lovely in its own way. Of course, the most common color choice for wedding shoes is white, as it is the easiest to coordinate with most wedding dresses.
Off-white and ivory shoes are also popular choices and are perfect for a bride looking to stray a bit off the beaten path.
Choosing shoes in a contrasting color to your gown is a great option for brides looking to make a statement and add a pop of color to their ensemble. Many brides use their wedding shoes as their “something blue,” whether through a soft sky-blue or a stunning sapphire hue.
