Shoes form an important part of your bridal attire. Many brides tend to purchase these at the very end of their wedding shopping. That is indeed a sensible thing to do; only after you have finalized your wedding outfits, must you choose the shoes for various occasions. Indian brides have a wide range of variety when it comes to shopping for their wedding shoes and accessories. However, experts recommend against ‘overdoing’ things since very heavily embellished shoes and footwear can clash with the outfits.
Indian wedding dresses such as Ghagras, Lehengas and saris are often very heavily decorated. So, you need to choose simple and elegant pairs of shoes that can enhance the outfit.
At the same time, for the highly fashion conscious brides; the trends in India bridal footwear are pointing towards glittering and shimmering shoes in vibrant and bold colours and patterns. No longer are you forced to choose plain white or black shoes. The modern brides are also opting for footwear that can be worn on other formal and semi formal occasions. She also wants her wedding shoes to be comfortable as she will be dancing or standing in them for longer periods of time.
Where high heels inspire awe; they tend to be a bit uncomfortable and can also cause back pain. Flats on the other hand, tend to be dull and boring. Wedges are the ‘middle option’. Not only do they offer comfort they are also classy and elegant.
