Final Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Shoes
Comfort is Key: While style is important, comfort should not be overlooked. Charlotte Mills shoes are designed with bridal comfort in mind, handcrafted with extra padding, but always make sure to break them in before the big day.
Consider the Venue: If you’re having an outdoor wedding, opt for block heels, wedges or flats to avoid sinking into the grass. For indoor weddings, a stiletto or high heel might be more appropriate.
Personal Touch: Charlotte Mills shoes come with a “Something Old, Something New” rhyme inscribed on the sole, and a sixpence in your shoe, adding a special touch to your wedding day ensemble.
Choosing the perfect pair of Charlotte Mills shoes to go with your Lavelle Bridal Couture dress is about finding a balance between style, comfort, and personal taste. With these combinations, you’re sure to find a match made in bridal heaven.
