Comfortable Mother of the Bride Shoes

 

Finding the Best Mother of the Bride Shoes:

At Sole Bliss, we know how important it is to find comfortable mother of the bride shoes. It’s a truly special day and you want everything to be perfect, including your outfit! Your mother of the bride shoes need to be pretty, elegant and comfortable. We know that this can be a challenge, so we wanted to provide our top tips on finding the best mother of the bride shoes. 

 

6 Dos and Don'ts of Mother of the Bride Shoes

1. Make sure your shoes are elegant

 

If you are the mother of the bride or mother of the groom, you need to look the part! This is the time to wear pretty, elegant and feminine shoes which will make you look and feel a million dollars.

Your mother of the bride shoes should be heels. They don’t have to be high heels, but a refined shoe with a slim heel or a chic block heel is your best bet for this event.

You can choose a round toe-shape, almond toe-shape or pointed toe-shape. But steer clear of boxy square toes or heavy shoes which look like office-wear.

2. Choose comfortable mother of the bride shoes

 

Your son or daughter’s wedding is a very special day, but it is a long day…and there is a lot of standing! Your mother of the bride shoes need to be comfortable enough to stand in them all day long and into the evening. You also want to be able to dance in them!

Don’t change into flip flops on the dancefloor. Instead invest in comfortable heels which will keep you on your feet all day and all night.

If you you are unsure of your shoe size, buy the shoes you like in two sizes, try them on at home and send back the size which doesn't fit you as well. All Sole Bliss shoes are available in half sizes so that you can find your perfect fit. You should never squeeze your feet into shoes which are too small for you, and you certainly don't want to be slipping out of shoes which are too big.

We recommend taking your shoes for a test drive before the big day too! Wear your heels around the house to make sure they are going to be comfortable enough for you to wear for hours on end.

                      

3. Don’t worry about perfectly matching colours

 

Gone are the days of perfectly matching the colour of your dress with your mother of the bride shoes. Colour matching can be very difficult (the dye-able shoe is never a good idea!) and the look is quite old-fashioned.

Instead, you should opt for a shoe colour which complements your dress, rather than perfectly matches it. If you are wearing a bright-coloured dress, neutral colours are a great option. You can choose shades of nude, blush, or pale gray. Metallics are also an option, for example silver, rose gold or champagne.

Another option for mother of the bride shoes is to choose a colour which is one or two shades darker than your dress.

If you are wearing a black dress, then you certainly can match colours. A chic black heel will look great!

4. Take into consideration the time of year

 

It is important to remember what season your son or daughter is getting married in. There are some mother of the bride shoes which are timeless and will look great all year round. However, there are other mother of the bride shoes which will work better in the winter or the summer.

 

For a winter wedding, a closed toe shoe or a classic court shoe is best. For a summer wedding, you can choose a peep-toe heel or a dressy sandal.

 

 

You should also consider that feet tend to swell in the warmer months of the year. If the wedding is taking place in the summer, you should make sure your mother of the bride shoes are going to be comfortable with slightly swollen feet.

 

 

Did you know that your feet are at their warmest in the afternoon? That’s why we recommend trying on your mother of the bride shoes in the afternoon, so you can be sure that they will be comfortable when the weather gets a little warmer.

 

If your son or daughter is getting married in the summer, will you be standing outside? If there is a reception on the lawn, you might want to avoid a stiletto and take a look at your options for wedges.

5. Don’t go too high

 

Yes, a heel is definitely the elegant choice for your mother of the bride shoes. But nobody is forcing you to wear six-inch stilettos. We wouldn’t recommend going much higher than four inches, especially if you are not used to wearing high heels.

 

Always look for shoes with extra padding under your foot. All Sole Bliss shoes feature triple-layer underfoot cushioning which provides total comfort and protection for your feet. If you are wearing sandals, make sure the straps are supportive. If you have wide feet, look for shoes with a deep and spacious toe-box (at the front of the foot).
