It’s no secret that we here at S&P Weddings have a long reigning fondness for that little something blue tradition. Wedding traditions are the best way to incorporate a little familiarity, good luck and fun into your wedding day, especially if they’re firmly believed in by your friends and family. We’ve already carefully selected some of our more favourite traditional wedding customs and the many ways you can incorporate them into your special day. However, one of the undeniably best ways to incorporate certain traditions, like that something blue, is with your wedding shoes. We can’t stress enough how important the wedding shoes are for a bride on her wedding day. They’re a more sentimental and personal touch than the wedding dress. While the wedding gown itself will be determined by multiple outside factors, such as budget, body shape, location and so on, the shoes are less constricted - meaning that you can play around with as many different options and go as bold as you want with these style staples, without considering it a huge risk.
Sure, there are certain factors and thoughts that should go into choosing them, but they’re an accessory you can have a little more fun with. While the wedding dress will be admired and awed at by all your guests, not everyone will see your shoes (unless of course you’ve opted for a knee-length dress). These can be as self-indulgent, personal and fun as you want to make them. Blue wedding shoes are the more exciting alternative to the standard white heel or sandal that many brides opt for. Instead, this is an ongoing trend for brides who want to make their something blue a striking new heel. Unlike the wedding dress, the right pair of shoes can be worn again and again countless times over, and they will serve as a wedding story prompter each time you get a compliment on them. Blue wedding shoes are vibrant, eye catching, unique and confident. If you want to have yourself smiling each time you look down at your sparkling blue shoes for the entire day, then take a look at some of our favourites handpicked here.
