We know you have a lot on your wedding to-do list, but your wedding shoes can make or break your day! Finding the perfect wedding shoe is as exciting as falling in love with the perfect wedding gown, but it takes time and effort, just like falling in love.

At the end of the day, your wedding shoe plays an important role. You must not only love them but also want to wear them for almost an entire day!

So, how do you go about finding the ideal wedding shoes? We made it easier for you to find your true love! Here's a list of major wedding shoe blunders to avoid!

Leaving it until the last minute to find shoes

While it's ideal to find your wedding dress before purchasing your wedding shoes, you should think about them at the same time—not just because you need to figure out how to match, but also because you'll need the shoes for a dress fitting and alterations.

Before making an online purchase, make sure the company has a great return policy! You must also consider the amount of time required for shipping.

Shoes that do not go with your outfit

It is best to purchase your wedding shoes prior to your gown fittings. The shoes you choose will have a significant impact on your overall appearance. If you want to look your best, you must maintain a consistent style!

Not taking into account your location

Just as you check the weather before venturing outside every day to ensure you're wearing appropriate footwear, don't forget to consider the venue when choosing your wedding shoes! The wedding venue will influence how much heels you wear (or if you wear heels at all) because walking through sand on a beach in heels is much more difficult than strolling down an aisle in a church.

Even after purchasing, you do not try

Try on your shoes at home as long as they are returnable (preferably indoors on a clean, carpeted surface). They are probably not a good option for you if you can't stand on your feet for at least an hour with them.

Not putting comfort first

Most brides place a strong emphasis on style, which is critical (especially if you have a shorter dress or a long slit and your shoes are exposed!), but if your feet are in such pain that you need to remove your shoes in order to enjoy yourself, what is the point of having them? A common mistake made by brides is failing to prioritise comfort, and no one wants to be walking around with dirty blistered feet at the end of the night! Not very refined.

Not wearing them to work

New shoes can pinch and cause rubbing soreness. Try them on for a few weeks before the big day and practise! This will allow you to feel where the shoe is rubbing and give you time to make any necessary adjustments and stretch them out further.

Not bringing a backup

We strongly advise you to bring a footwear survival kit! Band-aids and gel inserts may be useful for blisters caused by dancing. Stuff happens heels break, shoes can cause foot pain, or you may prefer heels for photos but sandals for dancing. Bring a spare pair of shoes in case something goes wrong. Foldable flats that fit inside a purse are an excellent choice!
