My wife and I started shopping for her pair of wedding shoes six months before our wedding. We wanted a pair of shoes for her that would embody her personality and style. We didn't want to leave that responsibility to the bridal studio. The issue wasn't a question of their competency or their collection of foot attire, we wanted shoes that she could keep after our wedding both as a souvenir and for her wardrobe.
We visited more than 10 boutiques in town, some of them speacilising in bridal foot wear before settling for 2 pairs of shoes that would go with her wedding gown and her dinner gown.
Now, as a professional wedding videographer, I have had the opportunity to record on video many brides slipping on their high-heels on their wedding day. This segment is an integral part of a wedding video. Oftentimes, we also record the groom donning his suit and fastening his corsage. We want to show the bride getting ready to receive her groom and the groom preparing to meet his bride.
There was one video we did where part of the door game required the groom to look for his bride's shoe which was hidden somewhere in the house. After an exhaustive search, he had to slip the shoes onto her feet.
As you might have expected, for the exquisite, bejeweled, perfect-fit shoes to show up on camera, the bride's bare feet will be clearly visible in the video too. Which is why as a bride, you must never forget to have a complete pedicure.
I strongly advice that future brides get a pedicure at least 3 days before their wedding day. A pedicure by a professional is meant to be relaxing and relatively inexpensive. Grooming your feet or any part of your body, for that matter is never a waste of time. If you can spend on your shoes, you might as well spend a little on your feet. After all, they've brought you this far!
