Stylish and comfortable shoes for your wedding day

You’ll be standing for hours on your wedding day. First posing for portraits then during the ceremony and all through your reception, greeting guests and dancing the night away. You may be drawn to flashy shoes with high heels, narrow shapes and non-stretchy materials, but your feet may suffer before you make it to the first dance.

No matter how much you break in your wedding shoes before the big day you’ll want a second pair as back up just in case you feel a blister coming on. Here are some fashionable shoes to slip on as soon as you feel your feet burning:
