One key element after finding your dress, is finding your shoes. While most will opt for heels, I've noticed that many brides change into flip-flops for the reception. Your bridesmaids will change as well...because lord knows only the strong can stand in 3-4 inch stilettos all night long.
When I think back to my wedding shoes, all I can say is what the hell was I thinking? I wore satin white 4 inch heels...ALL NIGHT. I didn't bring a pair of flats and no one suggested it to me so I didn't even think about it. Because I am so short, I had my dress hemmed to the height with my shoes ON. So I couldn't go barefoot because I would have been drowning in my dress. So....like any wedding diva I numbed the pain with wine! LOL!
But now, you lucky brides out there have the chance & the heads up from me....GET SOME COMFORTABLE SHOES! In March I shot Page & Brent's wedding, and Page is a sales executive for an awesome company called Okab shoes. Here's a little info on this company & the shoes that I got from their website:
Antimicrobial material resists bacteria, keeping feet clean and healthy
Microplast® technology provides cushioned, lightweight and flexible foot support
Massage-beaded foot bed pampers feet with each step
Reflexology-inspired and ergonomic design
One-piece, fully molded construction ensures stability and durability
Non-slip, non-marking soles prevent slips and trips in spa and pool areas
Colorfast, non-fading material keeps OKA b. styles looking new
Vegan-Friendly and Recyclable
Proudly made in the USA
Two-year guarantee

And I thought this was a GREAT idea....Page got a pair for each of her bridesmaids as a gift! So they were comfortable all night long and the shoes matched their dresses! They come in sooooo many colors and styles! It's hard to choose which pair to get!
And ladies, even if you aren't getting married, check out their website. The shoes are inexpensive & so cute that you'll want some just because. You can buy them online or in specialty boutiques.
Here are some images from their recently introduced Bridal Collection:
