bride wedding shoes

Weddings involve a tremendous amount of planning. It may take months to find the dress you want to wear down the aisle. You have to decide whether you want the bridesmaids to wear dresses you find ready made, or dresses you have sewn specially to fit them. Colors and styles are difficult to choose, too. Then, there are details like the kind of cake you want and who you will trust to bake and decorate it. Along with all these decisions is the choice of wedding shoes.

You will be busy the whole day of your wedding. There is no reason to make yourself uncomfortable unless you are certain you want to wear dressy shoes. Women's dress shoes can be beautiful, certainly. If you are wearing a wedding dress that is not full length, you will probably want to wear elegant high heeled shoes in a white or candlelight color, or any shade that matches your dress. You will want to look your best, but keeping the heels in the lower height range of high heeled shoes is a good idea. You will be walking too much to be comfortable in stiletto heels. With a lower heel, you can look graceful and be comfortable at the same time.

If you are wearing a full length dress, you have the opportunity to take comfort to the next level. No one will likely notice your shoes under a long dress, especially if it has a train. Your feet will be securely hidden from view. Many brides take advantage of this fact by wearing alternative wedding shoes that may seem unusual if you have not been around brides lately.

Ballet shoes can be worn as bridal shoes. Ballet shoes are some of the most comfortable wedding shoes, yet they look dainty if your feet ever do show. Brides can wear ballet shoes and never fear getting a blister or twisted ankle from wearing tight or high heeled shoes. Ballet shoes often come in white and pink, but other colors are sometimes available.

Comfort can be very important to brides. Many brides now wear simple white tennis shoes as wedding shoes for the comfort they provide. Tennis shoes could even be seen as appropriate, considering all the running a bride will have to do to coordinate every little detail on her wedding day. Some brides even wear house slippers as wedding shoes. Whether standing at the altar or gliding across the dance floor, there is no reason a bride should be in misery because of her shoes.

Alternative shoes are also advantageous because they are not expensive. Weddings can cost a small fortune, but that does not mean your shoes have to be costly as well. If you want to buy cheap shoes for your wedding, you are much better off buying comfortable footwear at a low price than cheap knock-offs of expensive brand name wedding shoes. These cheap imitations do not look as good as the wedding shoes they imitate. They do not hold up as well, and may even come apart on the day of the wedding. That is the last thing a bride needs to worry about. Besides that, the cheaper the dress shoe, the more uncomfortable it usually is. It is much better in every way to find the most comfortable bridal shoes that are appropriate to go with your wedding dress.

Many brides want to consider red wedding shoes. Red is a fabulous choice for wedding accessories. Bridal ballet shoes are available in red in a range of styles. Red is lush and beautiful, be it in velvet, satin, taffeta, silk or leather. The shades of red fill the spectrum from hot poppy shades to elegant rose red, and the cooler wine-maroon shades.

To accent traditional white gowns, cream colored or champagne colored dresses, red is a strong and lovely accent. The flat ballet style shoe in red is the perfect punctuation mark on a white stockinged leg.

Flowers on the shoes, on the wrist, for bouquets, and in the hair are easy to accessorize in red tones. Flowers can be chosen for their appearance, and also for the qualities they traditionally represent.

The red Aster for example, used to be considered enchanted, and capable of warding off evil.

The Anthurium represents hospitality. The gleaming heart shaped flower is long lasting and radiant.

A red Carnation stands for admiration. The deep color is often mixed with the pure white of its kind, which represents good luck.

Red Chrysanthemums stand for sharing.

Red roses stand for passionate love, and red tulips are a declaration of love. So if the messages conveyed by flowers in older times interests you, have fun weaving them into your red accents in your wedding party's stylish look.

Red flat shoes are going to be easy to find. Once a style of ballet flat has been chosen, if it is not available in the perfect hue of red, then any particular shade, the exact color needed, can be mixed and dyed.

As you would suppose just from the name, men's alligator shoes are of course, shoes that are constructed of alligator hides, which are skins taken from animals for human usage. The use of Alligator skins to make leather for men's shoes is an excellent because of its durability. Men's alligator shoes can be a little tough or expensive to obtain because it is quite in demand in the footwear category. To make it even more difficult, until recently alligators were considered by the Fish and Wildlife Service in the United States as an endangered species. Just a couple months back, due to careful controls, the popular reptilian products are now back on the sales rack because the alligator population is now off the list of endangered species and are actually being put on the list of creatures that will be allowed to be hunted with some restrictions.

Alligators have existed in this planet about 20 million years now according to scientists. Alligators, which are very closely related to crocodiles, are also related to the dinosaurs. This is why they have the saw-like teeth and those rough skins that are nearly impenetrable. This is also the same quality that gives alligator hides their rigidness and durability. Alligator hides do not only make great men's shoes; they also make great belts, belt straps, braces and wallets.

Of the few manufacturers of men's alligator shoes here are the most recommended men's alligator shoes manufacturer and some online retailer of men's alligator shoes:

The David Eden Company is an exotic skin shoe manufacturing company that features a diverse variety of alligator shoes, as well as crocodile, lizard, emu and other animal skin combination. Their vast selection of alligator shoes ranges from plain, conservative colors to higher fashion styles.

Mezlan is another great shoemaker that offers the finest quality shoes from Spain. Their alligator shoes are made for both style and comfort and feature some of the best craftsmanship in high quality exotic shoes.

The International Manufacturing Group Int. is a shoe company that is just beginning to make its mark in the exotic shoe industry. They are known for having very low price on their products.

Regent Shoes is known worldwide for their large selection of top fashion footwear that are worn all over the globe. Regent Shoes offers the best quality footwear with the latest in style and fashion. The company also has a wide array of colors and exotic materials available at a wide range of prices. Regent Shoe's claim to fame and the staple of their business is their exotic skin shoe department. Regent Shoes has diverse skin combinations, style, colors and sizes. They also have a wide assortment of wide-width footwear.

Alligator shoes can be very expensive but owning even just one pair is like owning a very limited treasure of nature.

gold wedding shoes

Platinum is often considered the best there is, and with good cause. It can make diamonds sparkle like no other metal can and is much harder than white gold. But if you can't afford the platinum price tag, than palladium is a good option to consider.

The main benefit of palladium over platinum wedding rings is price. Platinum is a much more dense metal than both gold and palladium, and thus weighs a lot more. Usually, you are paying for weight with precious metals. They are most often sold on commodity markets by the troy ounce. While the volume may be the same for both a platinum, white gold, and palladium ring, the weight and density of the platinum ring will be almost double, along with the price tag.

Both palladium and platinum offer superb stone security when setting diamonds, much better than that of white gold. The prongs have very minimal spring back and both metals seem to wear well for this application.

Wedding rings made of palladium and platinum are also both very pure metals, usually 95% pure with the remaining 5% being ruthenium or iridium. This is great for those who need hypo-allergenic rings, as both metals will be far less likely to cause allergic reaction than those of white gold. Palladium is usually marked 950PD while platinum carries the mark PT950.

In our experience, both metals wear well. Palladium is a naturally white metal, just as platinum is, and will look shiny and new as long as you clean and polish is regularly. Platinum also requires maintenance, though not as often. However, the maintenance is more intensive and takes longer when you get it done. Over many years the cost will be a wash, but platinum will likely save you a few trips to the jewelery store.

Chances are that if you're looking for a palladium or platinum wedding band you don't want to consider white gold. However, there are some options that have presented themselves with recent technology that give white gold the same advantages as palladium and platinum with a similar price tag. These new white golds stay white and don't need rhodium plating. They are often referred to as precise white gold rings. Our favorite is the new X1 white gold from Stuller. This is available by request in most our gold bands at Wedding Rings Forever. This metal ranks just below platinum on the "whiteness" scale and just above palladium.

For now it still seems that platinum is a superior choice for luster and wear. It is also a completely inert metal that will not react, meaning no oxidation or tarnish. However, the new X1 gold and 950PD palladium will certainly be competitors coming into the future.
