Types of high-heeled shoes for a guest look at a wedding
Although they tell you that high-heeled shoes are all the same , this is not the case, especially when it comes to guest shoes. In addition to the difference in height and thickness of the heel , the variety of styles and designs is quite wide, which makes it possible to choose the right wedding guest shoes based on our style and our needs.
Therefore, before following the advice to choose the perfect shoes for your guest look, you should know which ones you can choose from.
Peep Toe : It is a type of shoe without a toe that leaves two fingers visible. They are super elegant and with them we can show off our nail polish. Some (most of the time at this part) have a little platform, so they are very comfortable.
Pump : They are characterized by having a platform under the metatarsal, a feature that makes them more comfortable. They are usually quite tall, but that hidden platform makes them look too coarse.
T-strap: This type of high-heeled shoes can have different heights (as a general rule they are usually medium heels, shooting low), since their main characteristic has more to do with the design. These are high-heeled shoes that have a strap that forms a T when tied to the ankle. They are the high-heeled shoes that professional dancers usually wear.
Stiletto : There is little or nothing to say about this type of high-heeled shoe, since they are the best known in the world. It has a very high and fine heel and they have the gift of leveling up any type of look. For a guest look they are perfect visually, but they are quite uncomfortable.
Ankle Strap: They are those high-heeled shoes that have a strap around the ankle, the typical basic high-heeled sandals that save us all the guest looks at summer weddings. Especially if it is one that has a platform. The most recommended on the list. Although you should be careful when choosing yours, since being tied at the ankle tends to shorten the leg. Look for verticality with a strip that crosses upwards to deceive the eye.
Now that you are clear about the types of high-heeled shoes that exist for a guest look, it is time for you to write down a series of tips to choose and succeed with your guest footwear .
The shoes of the guest look have to be comfortable
Let’s see, we’ve been in sneakers for more than a year and a half and our feet have gotten used to that blessed comfort. It is true that any guest look looks much more spectacular with a high heel , but we must be realistic, neither those shoes are comfortable nor can we stand them. It is preferable that you bet on a smaller heel that allows you to walk with ease (it is very noticeable when we do not know how to walk with the shoes we are wearing) and with which you do not want to amputate your feet during the wedding,
Any guest look combines with some nude shoes
It is true that summer invites to wear colorful shoes, but not all dare with them and not all guest looks support them. If you don’t know which color to opt for when choosing your shoes, whatever the tone of your outfit (dress, skirt, jumpsuit…), nude shoes will match perfectly . Do not worry about investing a little more money in a pair of shoes of this type, you will use them again in the following celebrations because they are super wearable.
Forget combining the shoes with the bag in your guest look
It is a super old school trend and nothing is worn anymore. If you really want to mark the super guest look, bet on shoes that are complementary to the dress and completely antagonistic to the bag. We are in summer, go for a color block look.
Maintain a chromatic balance throughout the look
. If you go for a traditional dress, you can afford to risk with more striking shoes, but, on the contrary, if you decide to wear a look that captures all the attention, choose a much more striking shoe. simple. It is important to decide from the beginning where you want to focus attention.
Don’t wear your shoes for the first time on the wedding day
This advice is first for weddings, although not everyone remembers to carry it out. Take a walk with them a few days before at home to accommodate the foot. New shoes are always stiff and uncomfortable. Walk them around the house a few days before the wedding until they soften up a bit. New shoes have to be tamed. Maybe you have to put a template to be more comfortable on the day of the wedding.
Protective strips on your guest shoes
It has been proven that their effectiveness is greater if you put them on before the wounds and chafing have been created. Also, placing the band-aid (we always carry band-aids in our wedding bags) after the wound has been done is likely to prevent it from sticking to the skin.
Spare shoes
A resounding yes
Yes, the guest look looks much better with our high heels and that we are champions who endure until the end (with all the dances included) uploaded to them. Yes, we have repeated it a thousand times, but it is never real. For this reason, we recommend that you bring a spare shoe so that you can continue to be the queen of the court without being limited by your feet. It is very fashionable among the guests to wear sneakers to put them on when they can no longer with their feet and mark an outfit with a lot of vibes.
