The perfect pair of shoes for your wedding day
While most brides will wear a white wedding dress or suit and grooms will don a classic tuxedo or suit, you can add some color, as well as your personality, to your wedding-day look with a great pair of shoes. No matter what style you choose, make sure they’re comfortable because you’ll be standing and dancing in them all night long. To break them in, wear them around the house in the weeks leading up to the wedding and score the soles to avoid any slips and falls on your big day. We’ve rounded up several styles you may want to slip on:
