Ideas For Cheap Wedding Shoes

Ideas for Cheap Wedding Shoes

There are hundreds of different styles of wedding shoes around, but cheap wedding shoes are few and far between. This article provides some ideas of where to find less expensive shoes and some creative ideas to glam up your feet.

First, what to avoid
Many of the wedding boutiques and wedding dress shops stock shoes � but a word of warning, don�t buy your shoes from them. Often they�re overpriced and you�ll be able to find something similar on the high street for half the price. Unless of course, there�s a sale on. ;o)

Go for satin for a versatile shoe
In the summer months, most shoe shops have plenty of plain white satin shoes. They�re easy to come by and generally not too expensive. The benefit of white satin shoes is that you can dye them after the wedding, so you�ll get much more use from them then you thought.

Glam up your feet with embellishments
If you buy plain shoes, why not try embellishing them yourself? You can buy really pretty beads, clips and feathers from haberdasheries or accessory stores, then simply arrange them in your desired way and attach them with some glue.

Cheap shoe stockists
On the high street there are a number of places to find cheap wedding shoes. First and foremost is British Homes Stores. They have a great selection of satin shoes, most with embellishments from around �20. Marks and Spencer often do silver or satin shoes suitable for brides from around �30. You could also try Olivers, Shoe Express, TK Maxx and of course Ebay.

Other places to try would be charity shops, which often stock once-worn wedding shoes for next to nothing.

Wedding shoe alternatives
If you�re wearing a long dress, why not consider a flat shoe? Your dress will cover your shoes anyway and you�ll certainly be more comfortable. Ballet shoes, pumps and flip flops all make great summer wedding shoes and all are under about �15.

Tips for happy wedding feet
Once you�ve found your cheap wedding shoes, make sure you wear them around the house for a least two weeks before the wedding. You�ll be glad you did. If they�re still uncomfortable, then try some gel pads that you stick under the ball of your feet � they�re magic.

Don�t forget, comfort is king on your wedding day � so be good to your feet!
