Top tips for stunning shoes
Your wedding shoes should complete your outfit, not dominate it
This is a tricky one for all those of us who haven't minded what old jeans we've worn as long as we've had a fabulous pair of boots on the end of our legs. However, as much as you love shoes and aren't so keen on dresses, people will probably notice the latter before the former. So try not to accessorise a Vera Wang sheath dress with a pair of Vivienne Westwood royal blue ribbon tie platform shoes...
Do be careful with delicate dresses and beaded shoes
That beautiful decoration on the toes of your shoes shouldn't be a trap for the delicate lace on the hem of your dress. Make sure they won't catch on each other -- at best it will annoy you and at worst, trip you up!
Do wear them in
You don't want to get blisters, find out you can't walk in them or worse, slip over because the soles are too shiny. Slip a pair of old socks over shoes while wearing them around the house. If the soles are slippery, rough them up a bit using a fork. (Do this after you've definitely decided you don't need to take them back!)
Most fabric shoes can be dyed
If you can't find the exact colour don't despair -- many companies offer a bespoke dying service. Look for one near you in our supplier directory.
