6 Bridal Shoes That Are Sure to Complement Formal Gowns






by John Jones


Human beings are social creatures. We require encouragement and acknowledgment from the group at every stage of our development. This is particularly true when we approach major milestones in our lives. Rites of passage are ritual events that were designed to recognize and celebrate these transitions. Often associated with religion, few secular rites of passage have survived. Probably the most popular one is the modern prom.

Styles of bridal shoes vary almost as much as wedding gowns. The first thing to consider is the style of dress shoe you normally wear. If you are accustomed to stilettos, then you can consider a pair. But if you're a sensible-heel kind of woman, then do not try something too far out of your comfort range. And definitely purchase your shoes far enough in advance that you can gently break them in by walking around on your carpeted floors.

Once you know what style you want, think about the type of material used. You can select from fabric, leather and manmade materials. The material you choose should depend partly on the wedding site and the time of year. If you are saying your vows on the beach, fabric shoes may seem a little over the top. If it is winter wedding, a strappy sandal may be chilly in some climates. But most importantly, consider the style of discount cocktail dresses you will be wearing. If your wedding dress is extremely simple, a rhinestone embellished sandal might be the right choice. But if your dress is already elaborate, tone down the shoes and let the dress carry the day.

Even though the guys may deny it, prom is an important, culminating event for all who attend. It is the closest thing we have to a secular rite of passage. As such, it lets kids know that they are entering a new phase of their lives. They are moving from adolescence to adulthood. That is why teenagers pretty much run the show when it comes to prom. They are allowed to pick out their own dresses and suits, rent limos and stay out late.
