Piperlime and Mindi Weiss have joined forces to bring you the ultimate wedding day shoe tips.
Mindy is a celebrity wedding and events planner for stars like Gwen Stefani and Eva Longoria Parker. And she says every girl need two pairs of shoes for her big day - one for the ceremony, one for the reception: "I call them fantasy and reality shoes".
The fantasy shoe:
One word: Dramatic. "This is the shoe you'll walk down the aisle in. It's the shot." So make sure those amazing strappy heels are picture perfect.
The reality shoe:
"You'll be dancing all night, so comfort is key," says Mindy. Go for flat sandals or lower heels. "It's ok. Your dress will be bustled at this point."
Top Tips:
Want to avoid the unavoidable? Well, Mindy Weiss has seen it all. So take it from her and get your shoes ready to wed.
- Skip the stones.
One thing to watch out for: rhinestones and jewels. "You don't want them to snag your dress," says Mindy. - Stretch them out.
"Walk in your shoes for two weeks before the wedding," advices Mindy. "This will break them in." - Scuff it up.
Mindy saus to use sandpaper to rouch up the soles. That way you won't slip when you're headed down the aisle. - Strap in.
"Slingback can be hard to keep on the foot," says Mindy. "So pick a pump or something that goes around the ankle."
